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.

Diamond White

Wow, it is the last day of the month, so that was March?

I am back today with another wonderfully old fashioned cardigan design to show you.  It was part of the bundle I made for my youngest niece when she was newly born.


Just like the cardigan I shared with you last week, this is another pattern from UK Hand Knitting Association (UKHKA 4) and is made in 4 ply.  Just in case you are wondering, those are double fish eyed buttons.

I hope you have a lovely weekend.

      I love all of these old fashioned style patterns, they remind me so much of the cardigans my mum made for me and my sisters. They make me very nostalgic.
