Thanks to Anne in Scotland

A big thank you to Anne in Scotland who sent me some patterns to share on my website.

Here’s a sample from Sirdar’s Book 108, to find them type Sirdar108 in the search field below and then enter.




Anne also sent me my first machine pattern. You can find it by clicking on the image.


Would you like to share a knitting pattern on my website?

If you have an old knitting pattern than you would like to share on my website, drop me an email from the contact page and I will send you my email address.  Unfortunately publishing my email address on the website generates an enormous amount of spam.

I am located in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.  If you are in this region I would be happy to collect any unwanted patterns.

A lovely lady who doesn’t want to be acknowledged, from Wantirna here in Victoria, sent me these two patterns:

If you have a charity you would like to add to the list, please drop me an email with the details.

Happy knitting

Carolyn at Cazinc has put out the call for beanies for premature babies at the Royal Children’s Hospital.

The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) is a major children’s hospital in Melbourne, Australia.

As a major specialist paediatric hospital in Victoria, the Royal Children’s Hospital provides a full range of clinical services, tertiary care and health promotion and prevention programs for children and young people. (Wikipedia)

2018’s Good Friday Appeal raised a record $18 million.

Carolyn has generously allowed me to publish her pattern for beanies in 3 ply and 8 ply wool.

Due to the generosity of Carolyn’s followers, beanies are no longer required at this time.
