Not much to show but there has been knitting…a LOT of knitting!
I’ve finished extending a Butterfly dress and it’s blocking now.
Another Butterfly Dress size 6-10 is (still) on the needles.
One benefit of the larger size skirt is mindless knitting. You don’t have to focus on any detail patterning, your thoughts can wander, dream & plan.
A bit of plane knitting for the Etsy shop….
The Reid Romper is nearly done. It’s waiting on button bands and cuffs.
I forgot to order the Tessa Ann buttons until today so I’m setting this one aside to work on customs
Using “Little Trunks Knits”, “Boys of summer on Gaia worsted
Some of the fluffy mail waiting for me when we came home from our ‘Mini” vacation
One of my new to me favorite dyers is Blue Dog Fibers. This is 3.5 oz. “Lucy” on an aran tweed
And “Rain” subtle shades of blues and greens
These will make nice winter longies!
More fluffy mail to photo..and customs to work on…
Have a great day!
A few Mama Updates!
Custom Butterfly Dress size 6-10
Currently waiting on more yarn which, should be in the next day or so. Once received it will be my main focus until completed!
“Faded Jeans” Longies
Color from Blue Dog Fibers a fellow Etsian. This is the 3rd color way I’ve used from them and, the quality of work in each has been consistent in it’s excellence!
And for stocking a Reid Romper using Little Trunks Knits “Boys Of Summer”
I’ve yet to decide if it will be short or long sleeve/legged. This will be the 6-9 mo size so it is available for customization!

One of 2 Butterfly Dresses (pattern by Little Trunks Knits)
Using Alice in Wonderland By Micsknitz
I got 3 inches into the skirt last night before my eyes were crossing and I went to bed!
Please excuse the bad early morning 2nd cup of coffee photo!
Off to start the day!
Raya always comes up with some of the most fun patterns!
The Tulip Tips pattern I’ve had for a while and it’s just now come up on my “to-do” list & I’m wishing I’d gotten to it sooner!
What a fun dress!
12-18 mo sizing Knit with Blissful Knits “Bono” on MMR
Halter style with
detailed stitching on the bodice
Back ribbing to grow with your little one!
Adjustable single button closure
I chose the stand alone soaker option to lengthen the use of the dress.
This would also be adorable used in the fall over a top
On the needles now are SMSS Bloomers & A Butterfly Dress
Got your wool on?
I love test knitting! It’s a great way to try out new patterns before they are released.
This is the new combination pattern (still in testing stages) by Sweet Monkey Baby. Offering 3 separate designs, a basic tank or cap sleeved, halter or polo style.
Using “Secret Garden” by “Wildflower Whimsy” on Lily worsted
This of course is the tank version in the 12 mo size. I added a full skirt with 3 Tessa Ann buttons.
I think it’s safe to say this pattern will be a hit. Knit simply as a onsie to wear with shorties or longies or using the cute skirt option, it will expand any wool lovers wardrobe!
I can’t wait for it to be released!
