I had a market stall at the school’s Spring Fair last weekend and spent the weeks prior making stuff to stock it – playcloths, knitted items, little chenille pinafores for toddlers (lousy photo so not posted here but on flickr if you insist), and making another couple of these …


I was pleased with the way they turned out.

Son #3 didn’t want to take it off, and has requested one of his own in blue (he already has a pale orange one, featured elsewhere on the blog – last year’s archives somewhere …)

This was an order for a wee boy turning three, and I also made a white one for the stall. Still knitting for a couple of orders – photos to come.
PS. In regard to the previous post:
The koala was fine and quite oblivious to the fact it was being swooped by territorial magpies.
Yes, a currawong is a bird.
And I forgot to add:
Wednesday evening: at a class play (a bunch of twelve year olds performing The Tragedy of Dido and Aeneas – imagine!) three possums ran along the exposed rafters of the ceiling above the stage, much to the amusement of the audience and the bemusement of the young actors who had no idea why everyone was giggling.

that blue IS gorgeous. so is your son.
What a beautifully solemn model.
I SO wish I could have seen that class play...
That is a very fine cloak -
the cousins were here last night and dragged out just about every costume I've ever made, including one fine black cloak.
And I thought of you!
Ah, beautiful :)
Ah, beautiful :)
And that one, came twize - for some reason.. Sorry ;)
that cloak is so beautiful.my son would never take it off if he one!
I love that blue cape! Totally gorgeous!
no wonder song #3 wanted to keep it on... it looks wonderfully cozy and awesome in that boy-way too.
It's such a pretty color blue! I'd have loved to have been at that play. A tragedy and people are giggling.
Wow - you even lined it. Snazzy!
Love the cloak - did you make your own pattern is there one out there I can get? I have some chenille that's begging to be used...
What, you sew too?
Your son looks so sweet in the cloak.
Is he the Captain in chenille?
(you have to be over a certain age to get that reference)
loving the cloak, your son looks like a gentle wizard. I like the idea of kids clothes that could be practical everyday wear and imaginative dressup at the same time. Not too long before I can start thinking of costumes myself...
OOOO that is very lovely. I can see my boys never wanting to take it off either. Gorgeous.
The Tragedy of D and A!!!!! 12 years olds! I am amazed and impressed.
I love that! What lucky weebles, to have you as a mom
I agree with BabBab...but, at the risk of impertinence, what IS that called? I don't want to go through life calling it "that blue thing."
Is that a For Real Cloak?
-J.
Yes, I sew.
Joke, I would call it a cloak. Or a cape, but I the word cloak is more satisfying somehow.
What a beautiful boy.
The blue cloak is not bad, either.
Captain in Chenille. heh heh.

i just swam into your blog as i was dipping and sampling into others...can't remember the trail i took but what fun it is delving into your Pea Soup...and i'm now inspired to pull out that half-finished sweater (that's America-speak for jumper). i really like the green one in your flickr album...and many other things i've seen.
and, best of all, your stories/essays/snippets/words make me laugh and smile...thanks!
