@sewminds Thanks for that video link, i've bookmarked that for future reference 

Needle felting is so satisfying, especially if you are in a bad mood

You're welcome!

My need to do some mindless stockinette has seen me cast off the six year size hooded cape yesterday.
I'd already made the next size 2 hood before starting the body of the other one so today, I'll just aim to pick up the body sts of the 2 year cape.
Then all I'll have to do on both is crochet a loop, sew on a button and make and attach a tassel to each hood.

When they're done, then I'll have to make the adults a matching beanie of sorts with the same yarns.

well, here's part of what I've been up to.

Glad to know you're fine, just busy. Lovely work.

Those are adorable.

@Renegade Sewist Oh thank you!
It's been a rather stressful number of months and now, I'm just waiting to hear back from the Insurance company whether they'll come to the party for all the damaged family treasures. To say I feel the items were a tad targeted because of a 3rd party's rudeness is an understatement. I'm gutted, but I can't change anything, just hope that they get fixed properly.

I had to lose myself in mindless makes..intricate cables were just tripping me up and DD wanted these items this year. I hope the intended get a good number of days wear out of them before the heat but if they don't, they should still fit them for a couple more years.

@Ouryve Thank you my lovely! xo

That's a lovely bit of knitting and/or crochet.  On my screen the jackets look knitted and the hats crocheted but I'm not wearing my specs 

[sewminds]

@Ploshkin You're right in that there's a mix! 
The jackets are indeed knit and the beanies next to them are crochet.
the 2 at the bottom are knit holding one dark grey yarn with a brushed Suri giving the marled effect. Good use of those single 25g skeins of brushed Suri.

Lovely makes.  Love the purple colour way. I’m assuming the hats are adult sized? 

[sewminds]

@Ohsewsimple you are correct! The kiddos get the capes and the mothers get the beanies.
DD did try to get me to make both mothers a cape as well but I put my foot down at that.
