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.

Blue Bunny Jumper

This may be my last post for a week or two as I have been asked, as a matter of some urgency, to do some knitting for my little niece.  I will tell you more about that when I post my current projects. 

In the meantime, I have one of my favourite patterns to share with you, a lovely Fair Isle design featuring a row of sweet bunnies, complete with pom-pom tails.


This jumper is made from white and navy double knit yarn and has six buttons at the shoulder.  For those who are interested in such things the pattern is by Emu, number 8776A.


I have tried to get in close with this photo so you can see the knitted pom-poms on the rabbits.  The rabbits on the reverse of the jumper are plain so the tails do not dig into baby when they lay down.

This jumper has created more than a little interest in the family and I am sure this will not be the last time you see a version of it here.

      Many thanks for your lovely comments. I have made this once before and was surprized to discover that I never posted the first one, it was in pink and white and so sweet. I must have a dig around to if I can find a picture of it.

      Thank you so much for your lovely words. Patterns like this slow me down a lot but I think it is worth it in the end. This jumper is for the newest member of the family, although it will be a while before it fits him.
