26th Nov 2021     New men's scarf pattern – the Petersfield Scarf

It is so good to be finally able to think about winter travels.... After so many months at home, the idea of donning a thick winter sweater and heading for the hills is blissful. As a knitter, I have found this quite inspiring as there's not a lot of need for winter woollies in Florida! 

However, before I started with any of my own knitting I remembered that my husband, Tim, has been asking for a new scarf for ages. I had a look in the yarn stores and found a wonderful soft mid-grey to contrast with a deep wine-red – his favourite colours!

16th Aug 2021     New pattern – the Darlington Lace Scarf & Wrap

I have been finishing up my latest pattern, the Darlington Lace Scarf & Wrap and it is now in my website shop here. I love this new wrap. It is a perfect weight – warm enough to take the edge off a cool evening outside, yet with a wonderfully soft silky drape. 

The wrap can be worn draped elegantly over your shoulders for an evening at the theatre or a stroll along the embankment. The pattern also includes instructions for a slim scarf in two different lengths which would give a wonderful finishing touch to a casual jeans outfit.
