How fun is this skirty! I’m really pleased with how it knit up & think the Mama will be too
The ruffles are knit with Family Pendragon Knits
“Banshee” on Gaia Organic Merino Lt Worsted DK
The perfect weight for ruffles that behave with a soft drape.
Off to wrap for tomorrows mail
And I ‘m stocking a few dresses on Little Trunks Knits this week!
Thanks for stopping in!

Is there a 12 step program for test knitting? I sure hope not, because I really enjoy it.
As I mentioned in one of my last posts, I was honored to test knit the new “Kokomo” beach inspired pattern from Melissa of DaKine Knits which is part of her new “Sweetheart series”
A fun racer back top with a sweetheart neckline edged in a simple lace hem.
Knit with Zen String “Living Light” …Zen string you know that one has been in the stash for a while!
This one is a custom knit using Family Pendragons “Enchantment” & it will have loose legged board shorts to coordinate.
And a 3-6 mo (waiting for it’s coordinating soaker) using fellow Etsian "Ewe and Me Yarns “Dandelion Daddy”
And a sweet pink soaker already in the mail
On the needles now is a pair of wide legged board shorts and a teal soaker. Hoping to have the soaker ready to wash and block tomorrow which means….I need a latte`.
Have a great evening

I’m obviously way behind on my posting! Summer has hit early so the garden and flower beds all need attention and there is a wedding a week away. Oh my gosh, it’s 9 days and counting!
0-6 months “Greenman” Seamless Kimono & Shorties
Superwash kimono for easy care and matching soakers
Listed to the Katidids Etsy Shop yesterday
A YYMN custom shrug ready for the mail using a wonderfully soft teal semi solid from Raya of Blissful Knits
Also stocked to the Katidids Etsy shop a super sweet small skirty
Using Gaia in the colorway “Ballerina Girl” from Jenny of Little Trunks Knits. I love the bold pastels of this colorway. So sweet and delicate.
It’s been a pretty busy yet productive week!
I’ve a custom Kenna completed (choosing buttons) and matching bloomers on the needles.
And there will be a few Kaia dresses stocked…next week.
Off to knit!

“Greenman”, a fun dapple dyed colorway by Family Pendragon has been sitting in my stash bin for nearly a year. When I saw it I had to have it! Purchased with no plans no plans in mind it’s been calling to me for some time now. Looking for a small project to cast on last night, it refused to be ignored any longer.
Can you tell what it is?
Not telling till it’s done but it will be a sweet set!
Fluffy mail received yesterday from Jenny of Little Trunks Knits one of my favorite dyers.
”Heart’s Ease” for a custom Kenna & Bloomers to be cast on later this afternoon
Stocked to the Katidids Etsy Shop a soft cowl in a wonderful olive green.
I didn’t have a model handy so I put my garden angel to work. I don’t think she minded a bit!
I’ve a couple of custom shrugs to photo (once I decide on buttons) and then they will be in the mail.
The sun is flirting for a while today so I think I’m off to the garden for a bit
Have a great day
Katie
I just completed knitting the
Honeysuckle Top/Dress/Tunic from EviePants
& what a sweet pattern!
Some tops can become tedious after a knitting a few times but, this pattern has enough stitch changes to keep you on your toes. I’d not knit a lateral braid before so it was a learning experience for me also.
Using a custom colorway from Family Pendragon on Avalon superwash
Bloomers were knit using the
Convertible Baby Bloomers by Carina Spencer
And accented with custom buttons from Ayarina’s Button Shop
SWEET!
This 18 mo set will be used for a little ladies 1 year photo’s this weekend.
There is a Romper nearly done and a sweater on the needles. Update photo coming soon!
