Boys roving

 

Best of brothers.

 

Shorties crocheted with unspun roving. I have been wanting to make these for a while. The lavender is 10ply equivalent while the body is chunky/ super bulky.

Around the World

The shorties crocheted from the wool received from Jodie. It looks not unlike a world map at least with the colours. They are a good fit on J who hasn't been very well in the past week. This crazy up and down weather in Melbourne is to blame, I think.

Malabrigo shorts

My daughter put a pair of  shorties in the wash so this is really a replacement though honestly he doesn't need  anymore woollies for the moment.

Crocheted in Malabrigo worsted. J is continuing to practice his standing, steps, and balance. He loves dancing which is fun to rhyme with his name.

One week

In one week my littlest boy will be one year old. This time last year I was (over)due to have my forth child. I then had 5 days of prelabour before my son arrived into my arms while my older children slept in their rooms and my husband sat beside me near our birth pool.


We had a warm day here in Melbourne where it was 28 degrees. I started to think about making some shorties for J. After a failed attempt in another colourway of Malabrigo, I used Noro Kureyon for the body and added Malabrigo for the waist, gusset and legs.

My boy rarely stops smiling, which is lovely. He has a sci fi head when he's upset. His forehead reminds us of Star Trek namely the Klingon.
