Goose Crochet

[Pre Blog Project]

How cute is this goose? I love making the little clothes and details on these animals. The bag is home spun alpaca, most of the clothes and goose is also home spun sheep. Really enjoyed making all the elements of this. I think the hat would be best sewed onto the head to stop it falling off. In reality you want clothes that stay on if you throw it in a basket, otherwise you quickly lose the bits. The overalls and the bag stay on nicely, the hat and scarf less so.

Crochet Bunny Blanket

[Pre Blog Project]

Not sure where this pattern is from, thought probably not too hard to reverse engineer. I made this with white cotton yarn and some leftover alpaca at the bottom. The alpaca is much thicker than the cotton, so doesn't quite work in terms of consistency, but kind of an interesting trim / border. It was more of a leftover project than anything. Sometimes these smaller quick projects are fun to do inbetween bigger ones. This is one of them.

Kids Alpaca Cardigan

[Pre Blog Project]

This is home spun alpaca wool. I made this toddler sized cardigan with raglan increases. This was just a small project to test out the alpaca on a garment. Turned out nice. I might have gifted this, or its now in storage, in any case I haven't seen it in action, not sure how it would wear.

I ran out of the brown coloured wool near the end so had to switch to another colour, so maybe looks a bit strange, but kinda works.

Cambridge Bloomers

[Pre Blog Project]

This was a pattern I found on Ravelry. I made a few versions of this, some had frills on, in green and pink. Haven't tested them on any babies, so not sure how it wears, but looks cute on the floor!

Crochet Owl

[Pre Blog Project]

I made this with home spun wool, the browns and grey was a dark Wensleydale sheep I bought online from a farm. The white was from our sheep flock in Belgium. This turned out really cute. I can't find the pattern I used unfortunately, but would make it again if I could find it.

Cute a button baby cardigan

[Pre Blog Project]

This was a hand spun alpaca of Alpaca. I made this from a pattern on Ravelry. It's supposed to have sleeves, but I ran out of yarn so turned it into a sleeveless version instead. I like the diamond detailing all around and it being alpaca is super soft.
