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.

Olive Green Cardigan

I am back this morning to show you another of the cardigans I made for my young nephew.  His parents particularly like him in earthy tones; mainly greys, greens and browns.  He is only 2 but he has developed into a right little character and has everyone running around him.  

I made this round necked cardigan in King Cole Cherish Double Kit using one of my favourite Stylecraft patterns - number 4909.

I just could not find buttons to match, so I opted for wooden ones.

Take care.

      Thank you Carol. I have to agree with you, the wooden buttons were the best option for such an unusual shade of green.

      I have just read this post back. It is probably the shortest post I have ever written and it was full of typo's - you can tell I wrote it around 4 in the morning and I was fighting to keep my eyes open!

      Ah, that sounds like my parents. I am cursed with not being able to sleep at night. I say cursed because I then spend most of the day asleep and missing out on things.
