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.

Baa Baa II

Here I am, back with my second post of the day.

Do you remember the lamb scarves I was making for some of the little girls I know?  Well, there are a lot of little girls and I had to make more.


I found the pattern on the Ravelry website, it is designed by Linda Castles.  The scarves are made of Aran weight yarn, so they are quite chunky and warm.  I think the pom poms on the first lot of scarves I made were a little too large, so this time I made smalled ones (The sharp eyed would have spotted that one scarf in the first photograph was earless, opps!  I have corrected that oversight now.)






I shall be back tomorrow with the final instalment from this year's Advent Calender.

  1. Another fabulous set. I love how each scarf has its own personality. The white on grey looks particularly stunning. I think I would request a black sheep to match my place in the family! 🤣🤣🤣

    1. Thank you, I think you would struggle getting into one of these, in fact, anyone over 5 would be in trouble.

    1. Don't beat yourself up Carol, I never noticed they were missing until I was putting the watermark on the photos!

      The eyes are black shank buttons, which I got from ebay.
