Baby Cardigans Frenzie

A very dear friend of us, gave us the cutest baby cardigan by Casilda&Jimena AW15 as a present for Baby#3 arrival. Its nude color matches with everything and the mink collar detaches, so it was only natural to maximize its use by making additional cardigans in an assortment of colors. Having said this, we might have gone a bit overboard with the project.

Here they are!

This is a first!

Remember, how I told you I had a feeling that more was yet to come as far as the SS15 Nanos dress we got last year on sale?  Well, the winter pull we knitted was undoubtedly too thick, too warm, too big and definetely inadequate for summer. And since we, daughters, never get tired of asking our moms for anything and everything, I pleaded to my mother if she could come up with something to go with it, and here is the beautiful result!

Blue Klein Bolero  (3yo)

Looks familiar? It is a Bolero, knitted with 100% cotton Valeria di Roma, (gauge #2.5, so pretty tight).

Blue electric - part II

So once Baby Bird#2 dress was completed, as it always happens at Casycoso…we felt that we had to make the most of the half a ball of yarn left and went for a boy’s pullover. The nightmare, for us, is always the same:

-        Proportions

-        Size

Blue Electric - part I

This is the beginning of predictably long story.

The Story of our Electric Blue winter Knits

I can't remember what caught our eyes first: the fabric or the yarn, but the bottom line is that we decided to make a dress for Bird#2, one thing led to another, and we are now on the process of making a piece for each of the children.

Story of a liberty shirt

After two depressing failures, I needed some sure bet to sew in order to rebuild my self-esteem. So I got into my Liberty Treasure Chest and took out my swatch of the classic and delicate Katie and Millie (version D). It is such a sweet pattern that it even hurts to put it to the scissors.
