The fate of the Very Hungry Caterpiller

Two months ago I attended a very dear friends baby shower. She was about 3 weeks away from having her baby.
I made her a flower baby basket , which I unfortunately did not take pictures of . I also made her a little cardigan in the first size & she had the Very Hungry Caterpillar outfit. Lou was absolutely thrilled with it. We had such a fun afternoon.

 The girls get their nappies on!

Two weeks

Two weeks ago , we were getting ready to go away on holiday. We were off to Lanzarote, Calla Teguise  to be precise. What a lovely time we had. From the hotel at Gatwick pre flight , to the hotel in Lanzarote. It was all lovely. Relaxing time was had by both of us , until we caught the flu bug.....
Neither of us have been so ill for such a long time.First Mr T came down with it , then me. We flew home last Thursday & poor Mr T had to be at work on the Saturday & he was still ill.We are still struggling to get over it.
Here are a few snaps to show you just what we enjoyed. I took lots of yarn projects with me to do & I did. I just have not snapped any of them yet. If the weather is good tomorrow & we have some good light , I will take some pictures to show you what I have been making.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar!

A dear friend of mine is expecting her first baby very soon. Like most expectant mums , she has been planning her nursery. Her & her partner have chosen a literary theme & I think one of her favourite stories is of the Very Hungry Caterpillar. I have been nominated to make a very cute outfit for her little girl to wear when she has a newborn photo shoot at some time. It was found originally on Facebook.

The little outfit was from this seller. http://kbeanies.co.uk/BABY-BEANIE-SHOP.php. 

I know this is quite a simple project & I would be able to create something similar without te help of a pattern. I set about looking for suitable yarn in my stash & came up with some very nice yarns. Being a crocheted item , I know it will use a lot of yarn which is fine , seeing as I have so much of it anyway!

I have made a start this evening & I am about half way up the cocoon. If the light is good tomorrow I should be able to take some reasonable pictures of my progress so far.

These yarns were just meant to be !
