The girls and I went on a little adventure yesterday afternoon.
Doug was working on reading to children with his public speaking class. They wanted a practice audience before some of them got to go over to the elementary school to read to a whole class full of little ones.
I like to end all my patterns with a few line drawings to help the user plan their colors.
The first one for Kat (Faerie Frock) is a cute little drawing of the garment being worn. The second is more of a drafting kind of take, which will really help with color planning.
I’ve been knitting and crocheting like a mad woman lately. I want my patterns to the best I can make them before I post them.
But in the mists of all that, I got a little commission from one of the lovely ladies at my grocery store.
That’s right. Everyone here has a nasty cold! So much so that my childhood security “blanket” was brought down from his perch on a high shelf in the girls room.
I really need to take a cue from my daughters.
I am working on the duck~row~thing. I just also have the short~attention~span~girl thing. And the busy~mommy thing. And the so~many~things~so~little~time thing…
I am looking for test knitters for the Faerie coat in child sizes 3/4 (21~23″ chest), 7~9 (25~28″ chest) and 10~12 (28~30″ chest). For all the details, hop on over to this post. *ETA ~ This test is now over and done. You can find the pattern here. ©Copyright 2012 Jessie Rayot / Jessie At Home All my videos, patterns, charts, photos and posts are my own work. Do not copy them in any way.

This was a very handmade holiday. Lots of pirate~y hats for various little (and not so little) ones.
All righty friends, this is just a loose tutorial, not really a pattern. You kind of have to “wing it” ~ hee hee!
You will need:
2 wire coat hangers of equal size and shape
masking tape
5 yards plastic boning (some stores only sell this covered in white or black fabric)
about a foot of craft wire, 20 gauge or thicker
Sample was made with Bernat Softee Baby yarn in Garden Ombre
