This is Erin’s first big knitting project, I only helped her here and there. She is now casting on and off, decreasing and increasing herself and sewing up her own work. She is doing well. Her next project is going to be a teddy bear with a jersey. We went and bought the wool today. Jenna is knitting slippers for everyone in our family, yay!
Lion and the Unicorn
Over the last two days we have all been knitting like mad! I have posted the photo of the Unicorn Jenna has made minus the horn we still have to find a horn for her and then she will be finished, (thanks Kristie for the pattern!). The lion was knitted by Erin and she finished today. Wow all this knitting, it is wonderful!! Jenna has started to knit herself a pair of slippers and Erin is busy with and elephant. My unicorn still needs to be completed.
Butterfly and Gnome Furniture
Woodworking
Over the past few months we have been busy making a small playhouse for Caiden. We have almost finished the structure and as you can see Carle’s (South Africa) gnomes have found a new home there. We have also made them some beds to sleep in and some chairs and a table. There are also some knitted projects that we have been busy with, the hens and the duckling and the sheep and the pig. Jenna made the pig and one of the hens and I made the duckling so it has been a nice combined effort! Lots of fun. We still have lots to make. The butterfly was made by Jenna, she felted it herself and then we sewed the body on last, it came out beautifully.
