    I remember my daughter having the same problem with her sons pants riding up in the baby carrier. She used store bought leg warmers and those worked well. Maybe you could knit a pair of those instead of socks? Also, the socks you made are adorable. Hang them on your Christmas tree!

    That's a shame about your new dress. I was going to suggest taking off the skirt and putting days in the bodice as well. I hope you can fix the dress and make it more wearable for you. The Bob pants look great on you! 🤎 I really like the look of these pants and have checked out a few on Instagram, however I'm a bit worried about how wide the legs are and whether they would suit my plus size body. I look forward to seeing more of your making that you can achieve in those stolen moments around carrying for your baby!

    I really like the Ovis sweater on you! I think the colours and the circular yoke look super flattering. Also the sleeve length is something I'm beginning to see more of lately. Called 'bracelet' length sleeves, they again look very flattering and are apparently very practical too for housework. I really like the look of the Bob Pants - they have this easy breezy look to them and feel like they would be great for hot weather in some light linen material. Do you think the pattern is easy to follow for a beginner though? I've heard good things about the Pamona Pants too and not sure if that would be a better one to purchase for a beginner seamstress? Thanks for uploading and it's always nice to hear from you <3

    Ohhhh I love your sweater/cardigan. If you think the sleeves are too wide, why not rip them back a bit and decrease several stitches while you knit them longer. I can’t do 3/4 sleeves, as I’m always freezing. It’s a gorgeous pattern. Hope you finish it 🙂

    • @orchidsheart

For the cardigan: it looks beautiful, I would add another greyish yarn to the mix so you can comfortably make the sleeves the length you like, and the body too. It's worth it, you'll be wearing it for years. Love your knits, love your style. ❤

    Congratulations on the arrival of your baby - what amazing hair! With regards to breastfeeding, by next Summer your bust should have settled down and not feel as big as it does now so your tops may well fit. I love the M&M floral cotton. I’ve been talking myself out of buying some since I first saw it. Personally, I’d probably wait until Spring before using it. You should have an idea of your body shape by then. Lots of love. Laura

    Congratulations on your sweet baby! I had baby number 3 in April and I can tell you easy oversized clothes are the way to go. Once you loose the baby weight (or breastfeeding boobs go away) you can always take the clothes in. I made myself a couple of knitted cardigans that are purposely oversized. I also just live in overalls and boxy dresses like a size too large hinterland.
