I bought this lovely fabric at the knitting and stitching show in Harrogate in 2018. I eventually decided to try and use it to copy a tunic top that I had worn a lot and was looking worse for wear!! This is what it looked like back in 2013!! What I didn’t take into consideration …

Paul saw this cape in a window display in the wool shop in Cleckheaton. It was a Sunday, so shut at the time, but he liked it so much he rang up on Monday and bought the pattern. It has taken me a while to get around to, but I have finally made it!! To …

September/October 2020 Another baby cardigan using James C Brett Fairground DK. One of my favourite baby yarns. I like the colour mixes. This is a small 0-3 months version. I haven’t been able to see my niece and baby Tod recently, and he looks to have grown quite a lot, so I think he will …

July 2020 I bought this fabric (Minerva again) specifically to make a second version of this top. This time the shorter version. I love the greens and blues in this, and the rather abstract butterfly. It is a pretty simple make, but where the back neck edges meet the front can be a bit tricky.
