Sneaky photos of Our May Themed Yarn! First up...'Sugar & Spice' for Carolyn and Rachel.

I have used two different dye techniques for these yarns, Carolyns was handpainted for smaller snippets of colour, Rachels was dyed by pouring on the dye for bigger chunks of colours. You will be able to see the difference once they are knitted up.

I'm so happy with the way they have coloured up and cannot wait for them to dry!

Blueberry Nappies

2010-04-15T18:36:00.000+01:00

I thought I would do a little write up on these beautiful nappies, as since the price hike, they seem to of been forgotten. They really are wonderful nappies!!!

A very simple to use system, easy to wash nappy and insert, and super easy to put on baby!!!

One size, so birth to potty means great value too!!! Just use the rows of poppers to adjust as baby grows.

Minkee outers and fleece inners ensure your baby is all wrapped up in super soft fluff!!!

Some Blueberry pics-

These are amazing nappies that once you try, you'll never go back to using a disposable!!! :-)

Finished!! (well not in this pic as I am lanolising them as I type!) but it should give you an idea of finished item! Hat on the needles so should be ready to post this week!!! I hope it gets to you before chrimbo hun!

Ribbit Ribbit yarn..bright and funky Merino yarn..perfect to brighten up your winter day. I would say a snazzy scarf!!! I would LOVE a scarf in this bright green colour! But of course perfect for baby cloth covers too. :-)

and another piccy showing the colours much more brightly.......the actual colour is somewhere inbetween!
