Cardigan-coat

 I always regret why not knitting in the summer ? Anyways The cardigan is finished knitting.


 I'm happy to put a new knitwear for new year ( I also sewed the inside dress.) 

I knitted the sleeves to be about 18 inches. The pattern instructions said it was 22 inches long, which is too long for me. There are no armholes, so adjusting the size was not difficult.


It's a plastic button with knitted cover.


It used 5 of "Beiroa DK yarn and 1 "mondim 4ply yarn. 


It's a shame that the photos are too small. If you want to knit it, email me, I'll send you the PDF of this vintage pattern.









Dog coat "Barka

 My dog ​​was born around spring 2018 and was rescued by a volunteer group for some reason.  She was malnourished when she came to us.  And now she is very healthy and active. 

My poor lovely dog has been trained from cats, thanks to this ?! she is doing well with them.

I was curious about this coloring of hair, so I had her DNA tested when she was still a puppy. The results showed that she had a "American Rat terrier" ( and Shiba inu) bloodline. This is a rare breed in Japan, so I wonder why she's here.. ?


Anyways, I sewed her a coat in the fall using scraps from my skirt. That fabric was wool , so she loved it for its warmth.


It's easy to sew !




Hello,


I haven't updated my blog in a while, how have you been ?  Autumn is short here, and winter came quickly. 

Knitting is always blissful.


I had to chase away the butterflies from my broccoli in the kitchen garden every day, but thanks to that, it grew deliciously.


During the autumn, the chrysanthemums bloomed beautifully in the garden, so I took some to the family graves. 


Sewed a dress at the end of summer.


Making "bonsai is fun. ( Bonsai is growing miniature trees ) This one has beautiful autumn leaves.



May this new year bring you many happy moments.
