Los handmades

In the shape of my first, ever, knitted garment, for a human: my oldest daughter. A lot of firsts go hand in hand with this sweet babe of mine. My first cake. My first doll. My first vest. I have sewn for her, crochet hats and mitts, and also knitted hats for her, but no actual garments.

This, like most of my productions, came from the heart and from  my noggin. I did not follow a pattern and was actually surprised at how easy and rather fast (once I actually got knitting...) this piece came to be. I am so pleased and happy I made it for her, and the best part is she picked the yarn, took all the measuring stints with polite demeanor, and says she likes it. She wears it to school to keep her chest warm. I am super happy.

And I forgot to post photos of the school backpack I made for her. I wanted to mark her first day of school with something special, made by me, and so of course I had to give it a go. I think next year it's not going to be good, since she is going to have to lug around more stuff, but for this year it's perfect. I love it and she really likes it. It is loosely based on the pattern from this book. I took some of the dimensions but didn't really follow the instructions or cut the pieces the same...I have issues following patterns, it is much easier for me to see something and then try to assemble it whatever way my brain tells me.

Como la ven con el primer sueter/chaleco que me avente para el cumple de la mujers? la verdad es que deberia de tener sendas mangas, pero mi'acabo el tiempo y aunque todavia tengo dos bolitas del mismo estambre ya no hubo pa' mas.

Que cosas de la vida que la mayoria de mis pininos en terrenos creativos han tenido que ver con esta preciosa nina. Mi primer pastel. Mi primer muneca. Mi primer chaleco tejido. Le he hecho muchas cosas a lo largo de su corta existencia, pero el proceso de lograr "pininos" es lo que me motiva a seguirle creando mafufadas. Ahora nomas falta que le complete el atuendo con unos guantes o un gorrito con el estambre que me sobro...o mas bien, que no tuve tiempo de usar en su chaleco guapikiurs. Como les quedo el ojo? cuadrado a mas no poder, verdad? Me saque un diez! Tambien les dejo con fotos de la mochila que le hice a la nena para ir al kinder. Esa la saque de un libro frenchute que me pasa a encantar. Bueno, ya me voy porque tengo que irme a dormir.
