Lady Mademoiselle Dandelion
Pattern: Lady Mademoiselle Dandelion by Along avec Anna (Ravelry link here)
Yarn: Bergère de France; coton fitfy, col ficelle (almost 8 balls, 400g)
3mm needles (3,5mm to cast on)
Mods:
fitted version, V neck, different raglan line (because I didn't have the pattern with me when I started the raglan decreases and I couldn't face undoing it!)
It's a fantastic basic pattern for a fingering ranglan cardi. Very easy to customize by changing the neckline, stitch pattern, length and fit.
I'm not keen on bottom up constructions but it was necessary with the dandelion stitch.
I've already got another version on the needles... it should be finished soon!

Totoro Baby Gift Set
My friend Jess introduced me to Totoro a few years ago. She's a big fan AND she's a knitter. Let me tell you I really enjoyed putting this together for her and her future baby!
First up, a little cardi:
Pattern: Puerperium Cardigan by Kelly van Niekerk, free on Ravelry here
I sized it up a bit
Yarn: merino cotton DK by Drops
I was planning to do a very ambitious Totoro border in stranded knitting but it didn't quite work out (several hours to do a few rows on a swatch... no thanks!). So duplicate stitch it was.
Here is the chart for Totoro:
Next we have a simple drawstring bag that can be used as a laundry bag to put the cardi in the washing machine or as a project bag. I used some scrap fabric for the leaves, Bondaweb then narrow zigzag all around.
And finally, let me tell you about those stitch markers...
I have always been arts and craftsy (with more or less natural talent...) so I had some polymer clay in my stash already. Fancy stitch markers and clay charms are big at the moment so I thought I'd have a go... How hard can it be? (ha ha, insert crying emoji face)
After several hours feeling like i have sausages instead of fingers, I have a decent set of stitch markers.
I used a video tutorial from TheLittleMew to help me out (youtube video here)
