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.

Lilac Round Necked Cardigan

Hello, I have another cardigan to show you today.

This one is a very pale lilac made in King Cole Cherish Double Knit.  The design is Sirdar pattern number 2081.  


It is such a pretty colour but,I am afraid, that the colour has not photographed very well but at least you can see the design in this close-up.

I hope you have a good day.

      Thank you Carol. I do love knitting at the moment, it got me through the past year when I did not have the energy to do anything else. At the moment I am back to making teeny tiny cardigans and hats for premature babies. It amazes me that they take me so long to make - a tiny little cardigan probably takes me three days.

      I have come to the conclusion that I am a dreadful photographer, I use a good camera but do not have a clue what I am doing with it. Most of my problems are to do with the flash - either glare or white-out. At least I know how to use the auto-focus!

      I hope you have a lovely New Year's Eve and may 2022 bring you all of the joy and good health imaginable and the same for the rest of your family.

      You can get some amazing pics with modern mobiles. I have been thinking of getting one just for the camera.

      Thank you. My photographs do not really do the colour justice, it is a very pretty lilac and, despite the photo, it is a cardigan and not a matinee coat!
