Knitted Tattoos and Bunting



The best padded heart pattern I've come across is Caroline Wilbor's Little Heart Bunting from the Wool Bar, Warwick Street, Worthing.


I made the bunting, adding a letter to each heart for to make named bunting.  The letters are cut from felt and embellished with a little flower sequin.






From this came the idea to knit a tattoo for Mothers' Day.  It was hard to find a box (shadow) frame the right size and depth, to stop the heart pressing up against the glass.  I resolved this by reducing the stuffing. "MUM" is hand stitched to a felt banner, and attached to the back of the frame.

Also available - I "heart" U, 'forever' and can be personalised for Valentines Day.

Selling for £10 at The Wool Bar and Mooey's Mocha Shop, Worthing

Weasley Jumpers!

I've got back into knitting!!

It all started in December when Grace asked me to knit her a Weasley jumper for Christmas.  One niece saw it and wanted one then another!

Weasley jumper pattern - though made a few adjustments to make it work for me.  Used Aran wool & 5mm needles throughout

Letter from font with serif and transposed onto grid.  Each letter about a third the size of the front


first there was one..
then there was two


now there's three!
