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.

Pretty in Pink

At about the same time as my sister asked me to make a couple of baby sized cardigans for her friend who was about to become a granny for the first time, my niece asked me to make the same for her sister-in-law, who had just announced that she was pregnant.  They had shared with the family that they knew they were expecting a little girl and so I chose some pretty pink yarn for this set.  

In all, I made her three little cardigans with matching beanie hats, this is the first of them.  The pattern is from a company called Dolliebabies, which I recently found them on the internet when I was looking for premature baby clothes, they have some many pretty patterns.

The yarn I used was a baby soft double knit by James C Brett which had been left over from some other project. Come to think of it the pretty pink buttons were also left over from something or another I had made in the past.

    1. Thank you Carol. It makes such a nice change to make something small - my nieces and nephews are getting quite big now and their knits take so much longer to make.

    1. Many thanks MrsBeez. They are pretty soft, a bit like knitting with mist.
