FO - Naima

I absolutely loved this project :)

It seemed to grow really quickly and the small little details made it that much more fun!

I followed the pattern, the only modification I made was with the needle size.

Pattern: Naima

Yarn: Drops Karisma

Buttons: Handmade by me

Needles: 3.0 and 3.5mm

Monday.....

Winter is coming, I can feel it in the air in the evenings already.......Yay, I can't wait :)

So, the first project on my agenda is gloves.

I bought a whole variety of Drops Alpaca last year for this purpose and so I will be knitting a couple of pairs of gloves over the next while :D

These gloves are knit top down and are going swimmingly at the moment.

I was considering making a glove knit-along, but I am not sure if anyone would be interested - if you would be interested, please let me know below. 

My son-in-law had his birthday last week.

I wasn't completely unprepared, I had knit him some socks which he really appreciates, but I wanted to add something extra, so I quickly knit him up this hat.

Hats are great for that don't you think, such quick and satisfying projects :)

Anyway this one was done in the nick of time and it fits - HOORAH!

This hat was knit in Drops Karisma.

I have another bigger FO which I will share with you all on Friday.

See you then.

Sewing FO - My Craftsy Apron

Here is my sewing FO for this week.

(affiliate links included)

It is my apron that I made by following the Craftsy class - The Easy Modern Apron by Betz White

I love the way the apron turned out, it looks really professionally made, neat and tidy :)

Fabric used: Quilting Cotton

Time needed to complete project: I finished this project over one full day, but I took my time as I wanted it to turn out well!

Would I recommend this course: Yes, it was well worth the investment

Tip for new participants: I was a little confused about the waist and bib ties cutting instructions, but Betz was prompt to elaborate for me :) They are to be cut on the fold and as such the pattern pieces (if you are making some) need to be half as long as stated!

I would love to hear how you found this class, so leave your comments below :)
