A dear friend got to visit recently! It was such a wonderful time to get to visit again. It's always so nice to laugh until your sides hurt and tears run down your cheeks. She wanted to learn to sew so that she could make herself some cloth menstrual pads (aka mamacloth). While teaching her I sewed up a few pads for her to take home with her (forgive the wonky pics - I forgot to take pics before I sent them home with her so these had been crammed in her suitcase).

3 daytime cloth pads


3 overnight/heavy flow pads


she wants to try various shapes/sizes so I drew out approx 13-16 different shapes/sizes. A few are freebie patterns on the net but others are after a sposie pad or freehand after seeing something similar or completely freehand tweaking to what she described she wanted.

Scrappy Diamond Cabled Shorties

Knit using various Cestari Superfine Merino scraps. First time knitting this particular cable. I think it shows up better than some of the smaller cables.

Avery in his scrappy shorts

Stephanie was kind enough to share with me (and allow me to post) pictures of her precious son, Avery, in his scrappy shorts.





Thank you Stephanie for allowing me to knit for your handsome little fella!
