This butterfly suit was knitted 18 years ago
for my youngest daughter, little did we know then how much she would love butterflies........must have
been my early knitting influence.
I remember that it was a french pattern and knitted in a flecked double knit ,with the butterflies made from oddments. I loved it, but I do not remember my older children sharing my enthuasiasm
This is my most
recent baby knit.
made using pale
pink 4ply and a 1950's pattern.
This is my latest 'me' knit, I have not used a pattern, but have gone for a vintage 1940's afternoon tea shape. I have kept the styling simple, and used cable stitch and soft velvet ribbon for decoration and embellishment.The wool is a supersoft cotton.
