Remember that thing I was crocheting a few days ago?This lovely Bebop cardi is what it turned into. The pattern comes from here.
This is the first piece of clothing I have ever crocheted. It was really easy to make with no seams and all familiar stitches.
The only problem is that is doesn't fit the Birthday girl but instead looks really good on her almost two year old sister. Do I have time to make a bigger one by Friday?
I made the flower brooch as a closure but I think it would look great with a big old wooden button too.
Have you entered my giveaway yet?

ReplyDeletei'm participating in Blogtoberfest and came for a visit...
loved your accidental post! i have more than one blog myself though my test blog is on a separate acount than my primary blog and i'm supposed to be contributing to one my friend started for us both but we haven't had time to tend it these last two months =-( OOPS!
the book written by your mother sounds like a god one -i'm sure it will reach a worldwide audience before you know it!
love the work your children are doing - that pink 'angel' t-shirt is a darling design! great blog!
whoops! i meant to write "good one" in regard to the book, which is to say i'm sure it is a meaningful and heartfelt book. much luck and good wishes to your mother in getting it out into the world =-)
ReplyDeletehow exciting for Indi! It is so very cute!!
ReplyDeleteWow, that pink cardi is adorable. Looks so sweet with the dress and flower brooch. Indi must be thrilled with her owl being featured, hope it brightens up her week.Are you feverishly crocheting a new birtday cardi? xo
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe that is your first item of clothing you have crocheted, it looks beautiful and the bright side is at least it fits another of your girls. Are you madly trying to finish one for the birthday girl now! How exciting too for the cute owl to be featured, she must be so excited!
ReplyDeleteOh so sweet, love the flower instead of a button. Yay for your daughters owl, so awesome.
ReplyDeletethe cardi is sooo cute- think i will have to do one for Chloe- its similar pattern to a shrug im doing for myself at the moment.
ReplyDeletejust wondering what wool you used :)?
cheers

ReplyDeleteI can't believe you resisted having a blog for so long and now look at you! The cardi is beautiful! xx
ReplyDeletebeautiful little cardi, nice work :)
ReplyDeleteI love this cardi. How satisfying that it fits at least one of your daughters. Thank you for the link to the pattern.
ReplyDeleteI am attempting this pattern since I saw it on your blog, negotiating the bobble stitch though! and trying to find some nice soft cotton instead of wooly wool was tricky today too! Thanks for the inspiration...again!
