An evening noodle

It is almost the end of the school holidays here and I spent the day at work yesterday , just getting the groove back and doing a bit of preparation.

This little hoodie had been bugging me all day so I was happy to finally get to it last night. It transformed somewhere along the process into more of a duffel coat but I am loving it.

The little triangles are vinyl and the cord is actually plaited DMC thread because I had no black piping cord.

The coat is made from a felted jumper, and of course now I have two more to make for the other boys.

Questions :

The little purses previous are from a Nicole Mallalieu pattern. At first I nearly died when I saw all the instructions , but that is because every little thing is explained. The pattern is really really good. Nicole also has the bigger frames and I am very tempted by the largest one.

Would I have tried them without a pattern - No way Jose!
