I can’t get over how miserable I was this time last year…
But here we are, and I’m up to my elbows in a very pleasant project: Little Lion’s Birthday Bunting.
It started when The Flat Buddy offered to organise an interactive baby shower for Dragon and we came up with the idea of people making and sending in bunting flags. It was a huge success, and hanging out of the Birthday Bunting marks the beginning of birthday festivities.
Now that The Flat Buddy is several hundred miles away, I organised Little Lion’s Bunting Appeal (discovering in the process just how much work went into the whole thing) and again was properly overwhelmed at how lovely people are.
Even Dragon got into the act, designing two flags and doing some of the stitching himself.
I’m looking forward to getting it all stitched together in time (I hope) for birthday festivities on the weekend (and more cake, which we missed doing this week).
In lieu of cake, here is a photo of the Lovely Young Man posing expertly in his Gentleman’s Relish. Because he is as wise as he is tall, he’s already worn it enough to avoid the Boyfriend Jumper Curse, which we’re all very pleased about.

That’s a lovely sweater. Where does the pattern come from?

It’s this one:http://www.knitrowan.com/designs-and-patterns/patterns/lower-east-side
It’s a very neat fit, despite LYM’s narrow silhouette, I added ribbed go faster stripes to the underarm and side seams to allow greater ease of movement when child wrangling!
