It's the season...back to school
So Many Many thanks to all the kind folks that write such lovely lovely tutorials that save our sanity!
this week each snuffly girls chose a tutorial and was off...
Oldest d (9) found Heidi Bears how to begin crochet tutorial all by herself and was off...
Many Thanks Heidi she is so proud of herself and is confident enough to work totally by herself (which is just as well as I can't crochet .....yet :0) )
First result was scarf for her doll Katie
Second a hat for her homemade doll Kirstin
Not forgetting Thanks to Cheryl here for the inspiration for Kirstin
(We managed to get the doll making book by interlibrary loan it travelled from the East coast to stay with us for a week and it was well worth it :0)Thanks!)
Younger d (7) prefers sewing and this Seahorse tutorial was right up her street ...We found this Tutorial here at Mothering with Rhythm & Rhyme
(and until I was composing this blog entry I hadn't realised that younger d has named her Seahorse after the Shannon who designed the original! (hope this is OK !!!)
Shannon the Seahorse was started and completed in a day off when the bug had reached the cough/snuffle stage. This project worked a treat. Again lovely clear instructions and a great end result....
So Many Many thanks for all the time and effort that goes into these tutorials and posts ..this household really appreciates them!!!
I love her seahorse and think Shannon is a most excellent name! It was my pleaseure to share the tutorial. What clever daughters you have. I hope they are both feeling better now. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat jobs they've both done there! The first real thing I knitted (apart from a scarf...)was a jumper for my teddy, from a baby pattern. Never stopped after that!
ReplyDeleteOh, what talented girls. There is nothing like making something for yourself. I'm so glad you like the book. They'll be no stopping them now.
ReplyDeleteHope you all feel better soon.
Didn't they do well? We were taught how to knit and sew (and embroider) in primary school and I really got the bug. Shame I lost it.
