HIGHLAND HURRAH!
Julie Williams of Little CottonRabbits has released a new pattern – I just had to knit her wonderful Highland cow! I love knitting her patterns and designing new clothes for them. My very latest creation is the bride and groom teddies. I will be selling these and others at two local fairs with all proceeds going to The Smile Train charity.

AWESOME ARAN
I’m so proud of my aran sweater, it’s a vintage pattern from some years ago knitted in Sirdar Super Soft Aran in shade White. My little Westie puppy just blends right in – she is just 12 weeks old and so adorable!

Looks like you and your pup are perfectly matched, and ready for a walk in the park! What a cracking jumper Elaine, with wonderfully neat cables throughout!
FOR DEAR DULCIE
I recently finished knitting this sweater for my mum a month ago as a tribute to her friend Dulcie, who passed away from duodenal cancer. It was a joy to knit as I loved the colours and I know that she would have loved it. This is the first jumper I’ve knitted for my mum and she just loves it and has had loads of compliments.
Alli McNamara
What a touching way to remember a good friend, through stitches filled with love. A lovely gesture for your mum, Alli.
