Perfect for me  ;-)

A little Christmas knitting

Yarn - Bendigo Woollen Mills 8ply Cotton in Pomegranate and Snow
Pattern - Jean Greenhowe, on her web page and free!  These will be used as gift tags this year and then they can be decorations for future years
Tree - new addition to the family and is raw and un-painted still.  Great for small spaces as it can be flat-packed

Other knitting has been going on, but still no working computer

Merry Christmas to all

I remember my Nan used to do the Feather & Fan pattern for nearly all her baby outfits.

I thought it was an "old-looking" pattern

But I spotted a couple of projects - shawls, baby, adults etc etc

And my thoughts changed

I have fallen in love with it

So simple and easy for me to remember

Fresh look at something old
