This pattern can be found on Ravelry: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mimosa-shawl—mimosa-huivi I had been given a lovely Sheepjes Whirl for Christmas from my mother-in-law, and spent a while searching for something that I thought would have some resemblance to a sunflower when finished, given the colours in the Whirl.

These have been on the go since before Christmas 2020!! Finally finished! I had bought a selection of sock wool, as I do like to wear them, but think I should leave it to Mum who is expert at knitting socks. Because of the pattern on these, that I couldn’t get into, it took me …

I therefore decided to do mine outside of the village centre – not wanting to step on someone else’s toes, or have mine nicked too! The nearest suitable …

Is there anything better, as a sewer (now, as I type that, I see why people call themselves sewists), than being told by your granddaughter when you arrive, that there is a fabric shop in town and she wants a new dress?? Here she is with her Auntie (who isn’t quite as keen on me …

I based this pattern on the men’s shirts I have made. I wanted to add a large pleat in the back to add volume (similar to a purchased blouse I have), and longer at the back than the front, and with pockets! The chilli shirt I made for Robin fitted me, so I started from …
