Woodies new hoodie





New make


This week I've been making our grandson a new hoodie, I'm using #Patons Fab DK in Chocolate brown, and as its acrylic it washes and dries lovely and I'm sure he will be wearing all next winter in his car seat and pram.

This yarn knits up into a lovely thick garment.


Just need a few buttons and its ready to wear.

Back to knitting

 

I'm back and ready to go



After a long stay in hospital, and a further stay for an operation I'm now back to knitting after 3 months of not being able to, so after looking through my stock and making lists of what I want to make so I can get back to doing craft fairs.


Firstly I'm going to make a few preemie size items I was thinking a cardigan, hat, mitts and bootees, which I can also take orders for at craft fairs, the colours I'm thinking of at first are white, blue, pink, and green, in super soft 4 ply and double knit, I might even add little blankets as well if customers request them using the pattern from the cardigans so they match.

Then once these are done I'm going to work my way through the sizes to make sure I have enough for a nice display.   Talking of display I've been looking at the way other stall holders display there items and I need to find a way to raise the height at the back so customers don't have to stoop over the table .





This is one of the last craft fairs I did at @Great Garnets Farmers Market, but I'm looking at changing the layout completely depending on the craft fairs available space.
