Macmillan Mystery Knit-a-Long
Pattern kindly provided for the MKAL by TherĂ©se Hedlund-Heap The pattern was released over a 4 week period, and could be knit ‘flat’ or ‘in the round’.

Baby Cardigan
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 …
