Another Peter Pan baby pattern! These are brought to you by Wendy yarns. This one has a couple of lace panels on it. In this pattern there is a round neck and a vee neck cardigan and a pair of booties to keep tiny tootsies warm! I've opted to pop in the Wendy Supreme yarns with this.
The pattern is £3.50 and the shown yarn ys £2.30 a ball.

Finally I have Internet connection! No idea why it has been such a struggle all day!
Today I thought I'd give you a break from the baby patterns but never fear there are plenty more new patterns to show you.
This is one of my ladies patterns, it is from Hayfield. Its a chunky pattern which I think suits the weather today perfectly! Though I do have Hayfield yarn in stock I didn't have a white one like this jumper. So I've decided to show you the Wendy yarn with it. The Wendy Chunky has the same tension and the yardage is just 5 yards less. I feel it will do the job! The pattern is £3.35 and the yarn is £2.30 a 100gm ball.

Our September Challenge is to make "Something for Halloween" 🎃
We normally do a catch up each Thursday so this is mine!
Normally I suggest that you make something small for the following month and I do join in. This time I'm going a little off the usual bag charms or small objects. One of you has produced a spell bag! I ground a pattern on Ravelry for a cowl. It's has lots of different things on it associated with Halloween. The instructions say it will take around three weeks so fingers crossed I can do it. This week I have completed the broomsticks (that's the green bit), I've managed the bats and I'm now onto eye balls! I'm just a row and a half off starting the pumpkins. They'll be fun and I hope not as difficult as the bats proved to be.
Have you decided on a Halloween project. Maybe pumpkins, little ghosts or a bat. Well put them to the vote on the 28th of September and all vote for our favourite. The winner will recieve a tote bag.

IT'S WIP WEDNESDAY!!!
What have I been up to this week. Well not a lot really! In the shop I have made another hood for sale. This one is a complete one off as there is no way I can get anymore of one of the yarns I have used. The little cardigan has kind of gone backwards. I decided to undo the main body of the cardigan and make it up again in one piece. J would have done that IF I had read the pattern before hand. My Halloween cowl (for the September challenge) now has the broomsticks section complete and the first of thd fair isle panels is begun. With a little bit of luck I will get that section for tomorrow's "Something for Halloween" post.
How have your WIPs been going this week. I hope better than mine. In my defence it has been a little busier in the shop and I have had a day of my heart playing silly whatsits, meaning I spent a day and a half simply resting. Po a picture of yours in the comments so we can all cheer you on!

This has to be the most delightful pattern for a new baby ever! The pattern fits from a 31cm/12" chest up to a 51cm/20" chest. So that a very small premmie to about 18 months/ 2 year old. It's a perfect to use for the new born dolls and I'm guessing good ole FC will be asked for a few of them this year!
I've put this with the Wendy Supreme in a very similar colour. The Supreme costs £2.30 a ball and the pattern is £3.50
