Knitted Summer Top

After a few interruptions, managed to finished this knitted top for Audrey in time for the hot weather in Shanghai. This Glamour Dress pattern was actually quite easy to knit and used double strand of aCloset's Bamboo Cotton Yarn. Perfect for the summer.

Just to add some interest, I added a crocheted edge in a contrasting colour. Quite happy with the way it turned out and now am doing another mini version for Audrey's dolly.

Crochet hats

Right before Christmas, found some interesting crochet patterns on Etsy. My first foray into crocheting a complete project. I usually do knitting and occasionally adding some crocheted edging. With a little help from Penny (our nanny) we managed to do a couple hats to give as Christmas gifts.

For my kids, it was lower in the priority list, but was so happy to have finally finished off their hats. I made them slightly bigger so they can wear it in the next winter. These patterns were from Tip.Top.Applesauce on Etsy. Lucinda was a big help and was quite patient with answering my endless crochet newbie questions. The earflaps was following another pattern by Warm & Fuzzy Baby.

What I loved about buying patterns off Etsy is being able to contact the designer of the pattern(s) questions I may have.
