that is so fabulous. i don't know how you have time (considering Pia) to do creative work. i'm hoping that i will again have time to myself one day :) you're my hope.
ah, lovely! you are going to think i have copied... i made my little girl a longer line charcoal top very similar but when i put it on, alas, too tight... so i need to finish it off and am planning to give it to a client who has just had a stella. i assume yours is also reversible like mine! i'll post soon...
On another topic, thank you for the encouragement to just jump in there with the thread weight Habu. I have and it's not as hard to work with as I thought. Your encouragement was just what I needed.
This is lovely, as all your creations are. I've noticed you've lined a few of your hand knitted baby jackets with fabric which makes them so individual and special. What technique do you use? How hard is it to line a stretchy knitted fabric with a non-stretch cotton?
What a beautiful jacket. I want one too!!! I love surprise fabrics to line things. I use them all the time in small bags. The more wild, the better. This really works here. Niiiiiiice!
hi there - love your stuff & love your blog! just wondering if you sell any of your stuff (i have a little girl who i would love to see in your beautiful creations....) thanks for the simple beauty.

Wow, Alison, this is a beautiful, beautiful piece. Wonderful work! I'm sure Miss Pia will wear it with pride in her mama. ;)

That is just adorable! I can imagine a headband made from the spotty lining material...

The jacket is just beautiful, and I love the lining with the charcoal too, very stylish.
Posted by: Sue | May 02, 2007 at 09:06 AM
so lovely, alison. i just can't get over it. i keep coming back to see it (so i figured i had better post something to this effect).
the lining fabric is particularly charming.
