Cornwall Cardigan






 This cardigan was a new enterprise for me - a top down all in one with no seams!   And I absolutely loved it - in fact, I've made three different iterations of it since.   

This one was started while on holiday at Widemouth Bay with Amanda - the reason being that Amanda is a genius at new techniques and I needed some tech support on hand in case I got stuck - and actually I didn't.  The pattern - Yorlin by Kate Davies - was so beautifully and clearly written, that it was very straightforward. 

The purple main colour was a charity shop find and the bands and ribs were knitted in Blue Fern Yarns' Ink on yak.  The buttons were bought at a lovely little wool shop in Launceston while on holiday.   

So pleased with this and it's had a LOT of wear since!

Team Robinson Visit to Norfolk









 Back in April 2022, I had a lovely message to say that the Robinsons were coming to Norfolk for a few days, so I immediately booked some annual leave to go and spend an afternoon with them at Cromer!

I'm not always great at keeping in touch with people and am so grateful that my friends don't ever give up on me!
