I had this beautiful organic merino dyed by Zan, I wasn't sure what to make with it to do it justice. I think this was perfect. A cocoon for newborn. I made it a little wider for my sized newborn (4kg) and worked shells in a spiral. This was fun to make.

I wanted to use up some woolganic scraps.
Here's the result. A little crocheted elephant. It looks easy but I found it a challenge. Its worked top down with legs and trunk worked in loop and the ears I added on my own way.

First time with jelly

I was colouring some Aran organic merino with food dye but didn't have any blue.
My eldest son mentioned the jelly (given to us by friends). I used the berry blue. I didn't realise he meant he wanted me to make it for him to eat...not colour the wool.
I used vinegar instead of cirus acid this time. It smells. The colour to me appears more generic and bright.

Boy on Earth

Av was eager to help spin the organic merino fibre I got from Knot Your Nanna's Knits.




I made a crocheted vest and it was very quick. Trimmed with double stranded undyed organic aran merino. Not sure if I love it or hate it, possibly both. Its weird and wonderful.

Aviatrix

Aviatrix is a fitted hat bonnet for babies complete with ear flaps. Its very cute.























I was worried it would be too small but it fits very well with room to grow.I put 2 buttons on it.
I used Woolganic 8ply Gaia, only about 35grams or so.

Tree Hugger

Crocheted yoked top and shorts made with Beflecked merino Daintree colourway and green organic contrast coloured by my 3 year old.

Colouring with a 3 year old

Av was very interested in learning how to colour wool so we did some green and purple with food dyes.

Spun

I bought an Ashford low whorl hand spindle and merino roving some time ago.
I finally got around to trying to spin. Just a small amount that took a while to acquire…Getting quicker though more experimental. I am not sure if I am doing it ‘right’ but thats the fun of it.
Single ply because plying is something I don't quite get.

Blankie

Finally finished with simple crochet border.
This is made up of mitred squares knitted with leftovers and recycled 8ply, mostly light merino.

It took some time for me to make this shirt using remnants of Woolganics organic merino wool. Finally done and I am quite happy with it.
