So it finally happened and we were home from our travels for a total of three months.
No need to mention, that I started digging through my yarn stash almost immediately. I forced myself to unpack first:D I spent hours organizing everything and mostly knitting. Like 12-hours-a-day-knitting:D I just took some days off to satisfy my hunger for crafts.
One of my biggest projects was a baby blanket for our friend. He is a Sailor and my mind raced to make them something in that theme.
So this is what I cooked up:
It is made of 100% merino wool and lined with cotton fabric.
Cross-stitch Donald the duck and the baby’s name and birth date. 
Took quite some time, but I am fully satisfied with the results. The family was very happy and pleased with their gift.
If you wish to get a pattern, don’t hesitate to contact me!:)
Some of the yarn was made into these..
This is yet another gift for my precious baby-girl, that I made in summer 2014. I used cotton yarn and had plenty of left-over to make a headband and a summer hat to go with it.
After a couple of dresses that I knitted for the daughter of my friends, I started to get a couple of orders here and there. This particular order was a lesson for me. And not in a good way.
My bigger projects are usually dresses and blankets, sometimes cardigans. However, almost every single project increases the pile of left-over yarn. After stocking 3 boxes with yarns for specific project I haven’t yet had time for and also leftovers from already accomplished knits, I just ran out of space. My solution was, that every time I finish a baby-project, I also knit the left-overs into socks and/or mittens. So far so good, I’d say:)
The second Estonian dress I made last summer (2014), was the first ever order from a person I did not previously know. It was a proud, yet really scary moment. On the request of the customer, I was using cotton, a material that I wasn’t very familiar with (I have mostly used merino wool) and I was so unsure if I could make the dress that exactly matches my customer’s vision. To top it all – the dress was for a bit older child and so far I had only made dresses for newborns.
