Keep Calm Craft On: Basket of Fruit and Summer Skirt

Joining Nicole at Frontier Dreams for Keep Calm Craft On…

I recently finished preparing this basket of knitted play fruit for the children at our Waldorf-inspired summer camp. Sadly, my girls will not be attending this year (too old!). I adapted (knit in the round instead of flat) some patterns from Susie Johns  Knitted Fruit book. For the strawberries, apple and pear, I used patterns from Linda Dawkins. My Ravelry notes can be found here.



Over the weekend I sewed myself a new summer skirt using a skirt that I already own and love as a model (no pattern!). The fabric is lovely Anna Maria Horner




Happy crafting on!
