I am a fan of cross stitching, I find it relaxing and creative. Here is an introduction for those who would like to try it. Check out my free cross stitch patterns for you download and enjoy!

If you have never seen the Four Legged Friends Scarf kits you're in for a treat.

Not only are they cute but great for knitting newbies, as you only knit the scarf and sew on the head and feet afterwards. Hey Presto!

BUT WAIT you can now knit a soft and cosy hot water bottle cover instead of the scarf (or as well as if you fancy) thanks to Wendy Wools manufacturer Thomas Ramsden.
