Well, the sleeves are now set in! It almost looks like a jumper now, there’s just the collar to tackle, but I’m waiting for a quiet, childless moment when I don’t have anything else to do (!) to pick up the large number of stitches required around the neck opening without loosing count.
Linked Rings Crochet Pattern and Kit
Today I’m publishing a new crochet pattern for these very pleasing inter-linked rings, and in addition to just the pattern, I have also created a complete kit to make it super-easy for you to run these up.
Where to start…?

Food Bank Donation Advent Calendar
Every day in Advent we are putting an item aside for donation to our local food bank.
Christmas Trees

Handmade Christmas Ornaments
This year I’m trying to make it a little easier for visitors to visualize my range of handmade Christmas ornaments, by creating separate Etsy listings for as many of the variations as possible.
