I am not really a big fan of Dr who and watch it without too much interest or care but was confused when he kept talking about Jelly Babies, well now I am confused no more for those of you who do not know what a jelly baby is… it is indeed a UK sweet or lolly or candy (depending on your nationality) that Dr who uses for energy, I guess it’s his kind of trail mix.
It seems that Dr who has a side kick after all it is the infamous jelly baby that is getting it’s very own cult following by Dr who fans. If that was not enough for the Dr who fans I have included some links below to other free Dr who patterns including the Dr who knitted scarf pattern.

Stitch Your Favorite Fruit on a Sweater
The other day I saw a post from Pinterest about trends for summer and it said one of them was “cultivating whimsy.”
Well, I don’t know where Pinterest has been all this time, but we’ve been cultivating whimsy here at Craft Gossip for a long time. I love sharing projects that are a little different, things that make you smile when you see them, and will make you smile when you knit them and wear them or use them.
Such it is with the Tutti Frutti tee knitting pattern from Bea Creative Knits.
This cute little baby tee is worked top down in the round with contiguous shoulder construction to shape the sleeve caps. There are short rows for the neckline and folded hems with picot edging at the hemline, neckline and edges of the sleeves.
All of this would be great on its own, but then there’s the addition of a super cute fruit icon, which is added with duplicate stitch. There are a lot of options, including strawberry, banana, orange, cherries, watermelon, lemon, blueberries, kiwi, peach, dragon fruit, apple and pear, so it’s likely you can add on your favorite fruit.
It is offered in eight sizes, to fit a bust measurement ranging from 28-30 inches (71-76 cm) to 56-58 inches (142-147 cm). The design is meant to be worn with around 6.3 inches/16 cm of negative ease, but you can choose the fit you prefer. There’s also optional bust and waist shaping included in the pattern if you want to make it even curvier.
This is considered an advanced beginner or intermediate project because of all the skills involved, but it’s sure to be a lot of fun even if some of these techniques are new to you.
Grab a copy of the pattern for yourself form Bea Creative Knits on Etsy.

A jelly baby is exactly what it says – a baby shaped candy made out of jelly. It’s similar to a fruit jelly candy and not as hard as a jujube. It doesn’t stick to your teeth either. They are very fruity and can be found at any English candy store in your area.
