So a friend of mine was having a baby awhile ago and I made all these things to send to her. Then I never sent them and now the baby is much too big. A family member of mine is about to have a little girl, but I don’t think these are her style. I’ll have to hold onto them until I find someone who’d like them, I guess.
I’m most proud of the crocheted jacket because it took the longest. Also, I have a really bad habit of starting patterns enthusiastically, then putting them away and never picking them back up again. Ever. So the fact that I finished something and it turned out right is awesome (unlike the last tank top I tried which turned out really wide and short, despite my perfect gauge swatch.)
The chicken I just made for fun. He’s kinda cute, but I make lots of random stuffed animals, so he didn’t take too long. And the onesies were all super quick crafts, which is probably the only reason I got three of them done. Basically, two of them involved sticking pre-cut foam stencils into fabric paint, then touching up lightly. The fox was a little more complicated in that I had to draw a stencil. As you can probably tell, I have NO drawing skills. The picture I based the fox off of is here.
