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.

Lemon Drop

I have another new born cardigan with a matching beanie to share with you.  Well, I say new born but I never make the first size because new born babies grow so fast and everyone else buys new born, so I make the next size up.


This pattern came from my recent discovery - The Dolliebabies website, this is pattern number 013.  I discovered this website when I was searching for premature baby patterns.  Dolliebabies have a lot of pretty patterns and the people are so helpful and generous.

I made this set in lemon double knit from James C Brett.

Have a good day friends.

      Things have changed so much since we were growing up Carol, no one wants a pretty matinee coat with a matching bonnet. Now it is beanie hats and bold colours. I can meet them halfway .... but I am still not keen on new born babies in hard colours. Lol!

      I agree and hate to see practically new borns in denim!

    Another gorgeous set. I love the lacy effects you create, I can't imagine how complicated that is to create but you do it perfectly. Gorgeous shade of yellow too. xxx

      Thank you Lisette.

      I made a couple of baby knits for my sister to give to a friend but my sister did not know the sex of the baby so we had to go with gender neutral colours.
