GIFTED GORGEOUSNESS 02/24

 

It's always nice to make gifts, nice too to receive some
and use them in our stitching projects.

It's great and fun to show all this and the perfect place is
on Jo's blog Serendipitous Stitching on the 15th of each month
for the Gifted Gorgeousness post.

For home made birthday cards in February I chose the "donuts box" for  this 2024 start and as I have seven top images for sweet boxes
let's cook!




Here is my last batch of donuts...  with a total of 21.
With means 7 delicious birthdays cards


More progress on the Lady with the unicorn here




An update about the hexagon pullover
We had some fittings with some surprises...
the right sleeve is too short, the striped back would be better a bit larger




I had to remove the cuff to add one more rank of 5 hexagons
and to crochet it again to reach 37 stitches
D3 wants a cuff made with double bridles 


I have also re-crocheted the back adding so more stitches
for a few extra centimeters
and more ranks for the neckline


To adjust the armhole, more stitches to get larger ranks
and to adjust the cuff less stitches on the left sleeve


Next fittings are on next Sunday, I hope the measurements will be right and I'll be able to attach it on the body.
I still have many wool threads to stop and the finish around the waist

  1. So many wonderful projects. You've been very busy indeed. I'm loving the sweater, and am anxious to see it grow.

  2. Those donuts look good enough to eat. Good work on your unicorn. That's a lot of work on your jumper, it looks great.

  3. Thanks for taking part in GG this month. Love the freshly "baked" doughnuts on the tray!
    Looks like your model has been growing fast, sometimes children do this over night!

  4. Must be so frustrating, having to undo this much on the sweater, but I guess it's part of the process. Hope it'll fit this time!

  5. What a sweet donut card!
    Looks like Unicorn is doing well too. Not only the sewing but also the color of the fabric is very nice.
    I think it's difficult to make a completely custom-made sweater, but it looks like it's getting closer to completion.
