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.

Sweet Lilac Baby's Cardigan and Beanie

I have recently been sharing with you some cardigans sets I made for my nieces sister-in-law, who was expecting her first baby.  Baby Alice has now arrived, she is fit and well and as pretty as a picture.

In all I made little Alice three outfits and this is the last of the new baby cardigans I made for my niece to give to her sister in law (the others were a pretty pink outfit and a lemon one.)  This cardigan pattern is from Snuggly, pattern number 3838. which I made in a pretty lilac baby double knit yarn by James C Brett.


This pattern does not come with a matching beanie hat, but I have made a few of these now and it was not very difficult to place the cardigan pattern onto one of the plain beanie hat patterns.

I hope you are having a lovely day.

    A beautiful set, the colour is divine and the pattern so pretty. Very clever to be able to whip up a matching hat without a pattern xx

      Oh don't be fooled, it takes no talent at all to place the pattern from one item into another. But it does help use up some of the left over yarn.
