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.

Round Neck Baby Cardigan

I was recently asked by my sister to make some baby cardigans for one of her friends who is about to become a grandmother.  My sister was not sure when she would see her friend next, so I made the cardigans in size two - just to be on the safe side.


The pattern I used for the first cardigan was Stylecraft number 4001 and I made it in white King Cole Cherished DK, which is one of my favourite yarns.

I'll share the other cardigan in a few days time, so be sure to check it out.

    How beautiful, there's nothing like hand knitted items in a baby's wardrobe. Lovely pattern, beautifully knitted, I'm sure your sister will be very pleased.

      Thank you Carol. All of our kids are getting that much older (and bigger) so it was really nice to make a few baby bits.

      Aww, thank you. It was so nice to make something which knitted up fast. I have not yet blogged any of the baby doll clothes I have made, but they took ages to make, because the wool was so fine. To be honest, there are a lot of doll's clothes and I am not sure how I am going to inflict them on to my lovely followers!
