Buttons And Bedmaking

As I had to attend a family funeral in Essex on Wednesday, I stopped overnight with Rosie and family in London. She loved the toolkit. She said Daddy has just turned her cot into a bed and she demonstrated how. [I hope this video clip works for you] 

I finally finished the new cardi [ details here] 

I altered the original pattern a little

• Omitted "mock pocket flaps" [pointless]
• Wove contrast yarns through the ribbing
• Put seven different vintage buttons down the front

It's a generous fit right now, but growing room is useful at this age.

We made up a guessing game -. The cardi was laid on the sofa, then one of us closed our eyes while the other put their hand over a button  Then we had to guess which button it wasn

Heart, yellow flowers, blue umbrella, red dog, yellow teddies, pink elephant or white flower. Rosie was quick to learn and full of giggles.
