Nothing like a good jumper

Knitting is one of my favourite things to do, better than therapy AND you have something at the end of it. I've had my eye on this lovely Erika Knight maxi wool for a long time, it costs a small fortune but is the most perfect light pink, it had to be done. 

I'm making the 'simple sweater' which looks like it'll be super cosy. The good thing about such thick wool is that you can knock up a jumper in no time at all (especially if, like me, you prioritise knitting above pretty much everything else). 



There's something so satisfying about wearing something you've made and putting on a hand knitted jumper is like giving yourself a big hug. 

Spot On



Spots are my favourite. It's hard for me not to wear them everyday. As I literally can't get my hands on enough spotty items of clothing I've had to resort to making my own.

I made this simple dress (which I will be wearing as soon as it stops raining).




A few weeks ago I found this wonderful dalmatian spotty material on eBay and had to have it. I copied the pattern from my favourite simple skirt, which has nice tie details on the hem, and made a little crop top from the left overs to create a SUPER spotty outfit. I like the idea of matching prints, and of course it's always best to DIY.





And finally these are my most favourite spotty dungarees, which I am mildly obsessed with.
