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.

An Early Christmas Present

Five minutes peace and quiet, time to put my feet up after lunch - I'll do the washing up in a minute.

Just time to share another knitted jumper with you.  This jumper is based on one of my favourite patterns Stylecraft 4910, it's an old design but still available.  I gave it a twist with these cream and olive green stripes.


I teamed the jumper up with a beanie hat and mittens.  Instead of the usual bobble I added buttons to the hat.


As for the mittens, I thought I would give them a non-traditional, and made the second mitten a negative of the first.


I guess I cannot put that washing-up off any longer.

      Thank you Carol, the olive green is a very attractive shade.

      My other half does do a lot of the washing up.

    You can't beat a stripey jumper and I love these colours. The accessories finish it all off beautifully, I especially love the little hat. xxx
