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.

Nordic Snowflake # 1

Day 7 of my challenge to share with you the clothes I have made for my niece's Christmas elves.


This is another pair of winter designs, this time the jumper pattern came first.  I purchased a set of 'Elf on the Shelf' knitting patterns from Ravelry - 'Sweaters for Santa's Elf Helper' by Helen Cox.


If you have been looking at my previous posts you will have noticed that this sweater is a slightly smaller design with a much tighter neckline and narrower sleeves.



I used the Nordic snowflake from the sweater pattern to create the dress design, for the pattern I used the basic dress pattern from the Julie Williams 'Seasonal Dresses'  patterns.

PS Whilst I really love to read your comments, I will understand if you do not feel you have anything to say about yet another dress and jumper combo, perhaps you could just say hi to let me know that you stopped by.

    I agree with Lisette to get all the snowflake detail on such a small scale is brilliant-they will be the best dressed Elves
