These designs are from Designs by JuJu. I saw a fantastic deal on their website that if you spend $20 you got 16 designs free (most of these were sets, so multiple designs). I had seen these hearts and thought they would be nice, but then had to try and spend $20 to get the …

Eagle eyed followers may have spotted this fabric in one of the other posts, when I bought fabric and wool on by birthday day out in Shrewsbury. I finally got round to making this one up last week, and did the button holes yesterday. Really happy with the pattern matching… what pocket!? Photos are before …

I had bought some of this lovely JC Brett Marble Chunky a long time ago, not sure what to make with it. When I saw the cable pattern on this, I had to buy it. I didn’t have enough wool though, so had to find more! What is really strange is that the pattern says …

I found this lovely fabric on-line when I was looking for pyjama fabrics. This was on eBay, which I have rarely used for fabric (always for buttons and zips though!). With a son called Robin, I can never resist a good robin pattern, especially with this shimmer/foil effect. I wanted to make a skater type …

As always I left it way too late to start making gifts for people, having started ‘thinking’ about Christmas fabric back in October I think!! I have gone a bit bah humbug about Christmas lately (particularly in current Covid times), and don’t like going and buying random gifts from the shops for people that they …

Mum has been knitting us lovely socks for years. I first had a go a couple of years ago when Black Sheep Wools were giving away a free Christmas sock pattern with the wool. They looked lovely and festive, so I thought I would have a go! This potentially put me off socks for a …

Pattern kindly provided for the MKAL by Therése Hedlund-Heap The pattern was released over a 4 week period, and could be knit ‘flat’ or ‘in the round’. I actually learnt a new cast on method for this – the German Twisted cast on – apparently more stretchy at the bottom. It was interesting to learn …
