These are gorgeous.  I keep coming back to them during the day, so tasteful.
If you come up with a pattern, I'd gladly pay a few coins for your research and development time.

Ahem... I'm not supposed to make any mention of a pattern here... :-P
You can find my blog and website in my signature if you want to see more :-)

Thanks for your understanding and kind comments   Grin Grin Grin

thanks so much everyone for the cool comments.. So glad you like them !!

Now I need to make a pair of slippers for my daughter's teacher. Ahem, maybe not a pair of those though. They may look a tad too feminine for him..  ;-)

I'm in love with granny squares and preparing an ebook project around them... so I'd be greatly interested in any info regarding that !! (I have tons of books on the subject, but have yet to start reading them.. have been too busy crocheting new granny-square inspired projects so far... ! )

It's so very pretty ! Awesome job ! I love all her outfit, and the hood with bunny ears.
I also love how you used fun fur for all the trimmings :-P

This is exactly the kind of toys I'd love to make for my daughters, but it's too much work  for the amount of time they end up playing with them... :-P

Here are my newest slippers. I call them "Babouches". I love them, they fit really well following all the natural curves of the foot...  kinda was a long process though :-P

It all started with an idea. I started my first prototype sometime this winter, with bulky wool and really it was all wrong. Wrong yarn (super heavy slipper!) and wrong construction, it just didn't work out the way I liked. So that one stayed in a basket for months and months while I worked on other things.

Finally, about a month ago while talking to my daughter and staring at a granny triangle, I had a sudden inspiration for a totally different construction for this Babouche. I started right away, and that was the blue sample. I could see that it was "right", yet not perfect yet.
So I changed the size of my hook, refined the shaping of the heel, and Ta da... this time it was PERFECT!! :-D

I'm so proud of those, I made 2 more pairs since (including smaller ones for my daughter). And will probably make more... :-P

I hope you like them too  :-)

I am totally in love with your first jacket. All about it is soooo perfect  Tongue Grin Grin Grin

I had a look at the pattern reference but it looks like I'll have to get better skills first  Wink

Thanks for sharing ! :-)

Thanks..  Grin Grin
I'm about to finally buy yarn for one in my size.. exciting! (had to order a color card first, as no yarn store around carrying Cascade 220 here in France  Tongue  )

These are adorable jackets!

My question is about your backdrop.  Where did you get that fabric?  Can you please share the Designer and Pattern name?  I would love to locate some on the internet.  Thanks you so much! 

Carrie

HI carrie, thanks and about the fabric... Ha, sorry it's absolutely vintage, old curtains from my mom so I wouldn't be able to tell you any details about where/when she bought them... so glad you like it btw, I kind of worried it would look "too" vintage ;-)
