English Rose Garden

This cosy is, unfortunately, not for sale, but similar versions are available. I really wanted to find a way to make a yellow rose cosy and realised the best way to make the yellow stand out was to surround it with other roses.

This was also the cosy that taught me not to use rib stitches for bases - it doesn't work all that well, makes it sit awkwardly. Life is about learning. I've recently had an obsession with all things blue, so there's a blue version of this cosy on its way - Liv

This bag is made for rocking!

Lined with red satin skulls and spiders' webs befitting a girl with a fascination for arachnids, this bag fits her A4 sized music, her drink bottle and other essentials. It was designed to co-ordinate with the singer's boots. Her boots and bag are made for rocking. Jan

My first dinosaur

This idea came to me on a rainy day after watching too many cartoons. I challenged myself to make it as a single piece of fabric - other than the spines, I was successful. Knitting shapes is so much more interesting than knitting squares!

I made this whilst relaxing in a beautiful cabin in the mountains, sitting on the back deck watching the world of birds, bees and bugs go by. There's a lot of peace and joy knitted into this piece.


This item has been sold, but similar items are available for $65 - I can make to order in your choice of colour and size!

A natural affair

Thought and planning goes into the creation of each piece so that the backgrounds reflect both the colour and the meaning of the scene. Jan
