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.

Another Christmas Jumper

I thought I might try to use the next few days to try to catch up with some of my blogging.  I was busy last year but I hardly posted any of it.  Always full of good intensions, I photographed most of it and the photographs have just been sitting on my laptop ... waiting.

A couple of weeks ago I shared some photographs of a jumper and hat I had made for my youngest nephew.  As soon as his cousin saw the hat, she wanted one and being the lovely auntie that I am, here it is.


Being a little girl, I thought that she would love this purple sparkle King Cole yarn.


Unfortunately, I had the outfit stored in a bag for some time before I photographed it and it picked up a few wrinkles.


I wanted you to see the cabling close-up, I hope you can see the design.


Here's the hat she wanted so much.


I also made her some mittens with the a variation of the pattern.


And finally, to complete the set, a purple scarf.

This pattern is one of my ebay discoveries and it does not show the pattern make or number but I am fairly confident that it is a Sidar pattern because it recommends using Snuggly yarn.

I hope you have a wonderful day

      Thank you Faith. I often make her mittens with my odd bits of wool. For Christmas she asked her mum if she could have gloves without all of the holes (ie not knitted). Made me laugh. Sadly, she is only six, and she could not work out how to get her fingers down the right tubes in her new gloves. She'll work it out eventually.
