before I start posting about what we are making lili for her first birthday in a few weeks
i thought i should show a few little things I made for christmas gifts
knitting mittens for lili is loads of fun
using up bits and metres of left over yarn
teasing the kittens
:)
I also designed and made her a little hobbit cape of her own
repurposing an vintage woolen plaid kilt and a cashmere sweater
arounna was so kind to help me with the snaps and studs
the closure was repurposed from the skirt
...
...
the mittens were knit with handspun cashmere
using this lovely pattern

You are the best (oma) ever. Period.

I can't believe she's almost one!
Is she eating a rock? :) Soon she will be crocheting covers for them!

And what she really loves is the rock!

I am in love with the hobbit cape. It reminds me of when my kids were little, and wished they would make the same adorable comfy clothes for adults that they made for kids. I want a hobbit cape and mittens with strings!
