Welcome


Hello, my name is Dionne and I have been crafting for a very long time. As a very young child my mother tried to teach me to knit, it was a disaster. However, it must have sparked an interest in making things and, partly to prove that I was not totally useless and partly because I really wanted to make things, I taught myself to crochet. Over the years I have developed a love of cross stitch and all types of paper craft ..... I eventually even taught myself to knit.


I am married to a very understanding man, thank goodness, because I spend all my time either crafting, thinking about crafting or talking about crafting. I am hopeless at housework and dinner is often late!


Thank you for visiting my blog.

Leaf Patterned Cardigan

I am back today to share another little cardigan with you. 

I have been putting together a few odds and ends for the latest addition to our family, who is due in August, and I have already shared several of the baby cardigans I have been knitting for him.

I have quite a collection of baby patterns and several I have made many times, however, this double knit pattern is a recent purchase.


It is by Sidar, pattern number 3906 and has a gorgeous leaf design running along the bottom edge.

    1. Thank you. I concentrated so much on getting the pattern right, I was halfway up the back before I realised that it had a leaf design. Lol!

      Have a great week, don't work too hard.
