radish rattle

i got the idea for a radish rattle after learning to crochet in the round from my japanese amigurumi crochet books. a friend found me this egg-shaped rattle and i crocheted a little radish suit around it. i love the alliteration: radish rattle radish rattle radish rattle. i sent this one off to wee isabel today.

tube dress

i found this adorable fabric with a pattern that ran from selvedge to selvedge. i wanted to create a dress made from a tube of this fabric and shaped by darts and pleats only. i began it pre-pek, but finally finished it recently. i like it.

this is the dress in progress:
