A new translation ....

Hello everyone...

Just a quick post with news of a new translation  
'Sock Yarn Bear Jackets' PDF Knitting Pattern

is now available in Dutch (original pattern written in English) 

(For any customers who have previously purchased the original English version

 and would like the new Dutch translation just send a quick message for a free copy)

The pattern translations have proved to be very popular 
and I really enjoy working on them with my friend Nancy and reconstructing them. 
We've now translated a total of 8 Tearoom knitting patterns together into Dutch plus a few supplements and projects 🇳🇱

The jackets can be worked 'top - down' or 'bottom - up' and 

there's also a choice to work the sleeves 'flat' or 'in the round'

...and the pattern also provides lots of yarn ideas and examples...

(just save your preferred pattern translation from the choices)

...Also...

A New Year ...

...but first a quick look back....

Above are the posts which emerged for my #2018bestnine on Instagram

It seems that it was the 'Year of the Dolls, Bears and Cats'! 

My beautiful 2019 Calendar by

The Living Rug Company

Gorgeous new book and yarn by

Kate Davies Designs

for my personal weekend projects

An array of Winter Jackets from the

Sock Yarn Bear Jackets

PDF Knitting Pattern

These are always a fun way to use up sock yarn leftovers

Thank you everyone for the kind comments left here on the blog 

and the messages I received over the festive period.

It's always lovely to catch up at this time of year x

❤️

Do you have lots of new projects planned for 2019

or maybe you have a renewed determination to finish those still lingering from 2018?

I did my best to complete all unfinished personal projects before 

Christmas although still need to block my sweater and have a crochet blanket to 

complete which I hope to reacquaint myself with in the next couple of weeks

...I'm looking forward to picking up my hook again...

This week I've been tidying my photo library or at least have made a start.

I really need to make this a regular task through the year. 

I'm also reorganising my books of which I now have endless shelves full

(they just continue to grow!) and I hope to work out a better system so that I can 

find what I'm looking for at the time I actually need it!

...and of course, I'm enjoying making plans for new patterns...

...I have so many ideas whirling around...

This year also marks ten years of my ETSY shop!

It's hard to believe how those years have flown by.

A totally unplanned, wonderful journey which I could never have predicted.

 As a thank you to everyone who has passed through those small doors

there will be some celebrations later in the year x

❤️

Finally, for those who have asked often over the years,

I'm now also planning to start a Facebook or Ravelry group (or maybe both)

I just need to do a little more research before making a final decision 🙃

If you have any opinions or suggestions I'd love to hear! x

My favourite view from our window over Christmas

...misty, tranquil and ever beautiful Lake Windermere...

Best Wishes

 for a Happy and Peaceful 2019 lovely blog friends

This was my progress last week on my

forward to seeing this blocked

Amazingly quick to knit using Ístex Léttlopi of which I'm now a definite fan x

(and it's going with me on our Christmas trip along with my shawl and mittens

which also still need to be blocked...I think a whole 'blocking week' is needed! 🎄)
