A bit of everything!

 

This little matinee jacket was crocheted in shell stitch up to the yoke. I then knitted the yoke and sleeves in stocking stitch.

I added some ribbon between the yoke and bottom. The booties were knitted in blackberry stitch.. It looked better in real life than the photo...

Pretty in pink

 

This pink matinee jacket was made in Patons 3 ply baby wool. I crocheted the body in shell stitch, then knitted a yoke and sleeves to complete it... 

I matched this with some crocheted booties but they aren't showing much in this picture..

A shawl for Tay

 

In this shawl, I knitted the circular panels in blackberry stitch, and crocheted a long lacy border. A thin band of pink ribbon was inserted between the centre panels and border.

I made this in Patons 4 ply white baby yarn using a 3mm hook for the border.. It was a metre in diameter and very full...

Tay still has it in her treasure box...

Greatgranddaughter in pink

 

Baby's rocking my pink blackberry stitch cardigan. Knitted in 4ply Patons baby wool. Such a delight to see my work on her...

Please forgive me covering her face and her name, but it's not a great world these days..

To be continued..

 

Occasionally I run out of wool and so I often work on another project while I wait for my yarn to be delivered.

This was the case with my lemon and white cardigan for Jessica. Again, in Patons 4 ply baby wool in my favourite pattern, blackberry stitch. It looks great in two colours as well as solid...

In the picture is a white crochet shawl for her...

Jamie's blackberry stitch jacket

This is Jamie at one week wearing Nana's blackberry stitch jacket. Every baby including my own each had a jacket, with booties and beanie...in my favourite stitch....

I used Patons 4 ply baby wool...

Tay's cable stitch jacket

 

Another favourite stitch that was so easy to do. I used to make each baby a blackberry stitch jacket, booties and beanie set- it was my signature gift to each. I used Patons 4 ply baby wool.

But another one I loved to make was this one... both looked equally lush.. I think it's called Fisherman's Cable (or rib)..
