Not embroidery I know but while I was in Johannesburg I knitted Georgie a cardigan. Ben not wanting to be left out also wanted me to knit something. He choose the peach wool - thank goodness I managed to talk him out of the shocking pink that was his first choice!!! Only had time to make a sleeveless top.

Toogie - you are far too kind. I only wish that I could make the bags that you do. To me - that is real skill.
109787These are really nice. Love the little cardigan. but the vest is right up town for a little boy, he'll look so dapper in that and be as stylish as his twin. :)

35301Sarah have to laugh about the story with the color. Why couldn't Ben wear pink (I know he would hear many nasty stuff in that case; people are stupid and mean sometimes)? For a while Felix loved princesses and pink and glitter cause he sees this all the time at his sister. My husband always said he would be very stylish and maybe run a fashion blog later ;o) Maybe Ben just wanted a color that fits with Georgies cardigan?
Love both pieces and the buttons look so cute :-)
Greetings, Bettina

Thank you. I love knitting but can only knit in the winter as our summers are too hot.
23282Sarah they are really nice I would love to knit but can not hold the knitting needles in my cripple hand so I just have to be content with crochet.

23577They are both wonderful! I like Ben's second choice, it is such a pretty color and I know Georgie will be a doll in her sweater.
