YPS Auction Longies for Anne-Marie

Custom longies in my hand-dyed Blue Tones colourway - picture taken on a rather dull day so also spot the yarn on a previous post!

Yarn!

Mountain Shadows 250g Merino Aran

Black Bean Sauce 250g Merino Aran And previewing:

Violetta - for Scrunchkins collab

Daffy Down Dilly - for Scrunchkins collab

Two little things.

Earlier this month Chloe bought this yarn, Rub-A-Dub, and the accompanying custom slot.

And earlier today I finished making these for her baby, due in the spring.

I am particularly pleased with the 'Big Pants' style soaker. It was originally going to be shorties to wear under a sleepsuit as I have yet to come up with a soaker pattern that I like. However it became obvious as I neared the gusset that there would not be enough yarn to run to shorties... and the 'big pants' style was the obvious solution. I may well be making some of them on purpose now!

(Although they do rather remind me of the nasty Navy-Blue-Knickers that I used to have to wear for indoor PE - and occasionally outdoor PE on a freezing playing field with a public footpath running alongside. Wouldn't be allowed these days...)

Past And Future

Loads has been going on recently so a quick update is in order!

I spent a bit of time on getting some newborn longies made - lots of stress getting the right amount of yarn in the right thickness for the right sizes and ended up with two little tiny pairs. The first pair sold almost the moment they were listed!
The second, slightly larger, pair are still available:
And I dyed up this lovely yarn and offered it with an optional custom slot - also now spoken for: And lastly today:

Little sneek peeks of yarn for my collab with Scrunchkins... pics are only available here until it arrives with Allie!

For Jo

I'm still working away on Jenny's order - in fact the third pair of longies would have been finished last night... except I fell asleep... oh the excitement of my Friday nights...

But in between all the crocheting I've been busy dyeing and this lovely bundle for Jo was despatched safely today... phew... just need the postmen to do their jobs now...

There's also more woolly loveliness waiting to be re-skeined and go in the shop and even more which will be turning into longies for Buy British Month on http://clothnappyaddicts.co.uk/ Pics of all that lot coming soon...

Now back to that crocheting...

(It's obviously one of those ... days...)
