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.

Fox Stole

I am back with my second post of the day.

I have another hat and scarf combo to share with you today.  I explained a few days ago that when I made the little lamb scarves I wanted to tracked down a scarf pattern for the older children.  This Fox Scarf pattern by Gina Michele came from Ravelry and the Caron Ribbed Hat pattern from Love Knitting.

This time I made the scarf in a rust colour, making it more of like a fox and I added eyes and pointy ears to the hat to make it match the scarf.





I think you could make this scarf in any 'earth colours' and call it a dog if you wanted to make something resembling the family pet.

      Oh wow, you are so kind, but I don't know about that. (Although, I have seen the little animals for sale for over £50 each!)

    You have treated us to some lovely variations of these amazing hats and scarves. I think the fox is possibly my favorite. A more animal friendly version of the old fashioned fox stoles. (What were people thinking when they wore those?!) I was wondering if there might be an Easter bunny version??? 😁 Ps I agree with Carol about selling your knits! Xxx

      Thank you Lisette. That's exact;y what it said on the pattern - a PC version of the Fox Stole.

      I am not sure about selling my work, it will probably turn out just like the time I thought I could sell my cards and wedding accessories - no one showed any interest.
