「handmade」Pink Snowflake Mittens (knitted)

Winter is coming!
So I took out my knitting needles and made these pink-white snowflake mittens 🙂

The wrist area is done in a ‘one knit, one purl…etc’ pattern but the hand and finger part is simply stockinette stitch with changing colours to white in the middle to create the snowflake!

 

So precious to me『blogtober 2014』

Yay, I’m back with day 4 of blogtober 2014, and this time it’s a picture prompt.

Favourite photo you’ve posted on Instagram
I have to say that I’m not a publicly active person on Instagram. I do use it for the neat filters and for personal use, but never shared even one picture publicly or with friends. So, I’m gonna change this prompt a little and will post my favourite picture that I shared with friends on twitter & facebook. It’s from August 18th, when our little IVF miracle daughter turned 1 month old ♡

The quote there is from Disney’s ‘Dumbo’ & it speaks right from my heart.
It is one of my all time favourite photo/picture collage because it shows Nanami all smiling from the time when she first started to conciously smile at us. Also, in the picture of her sleeping she is wearing a colour speckled romper I knit for her when I was still pregnant. It is quite an amazing feeling to see her now in something I made while she was still in my bump.
