SPIDERS AND CROSSES

I thought you would like to see my take on

the spots and crosses pattern featured

in issue 187 of Simply Knitting, by Ann

Franklin. I decided to use spiders and

ladybirds instead! I thought this would be

useful on a long flight for the grandchildren

to play with, as it will roll up easily.

Linda Sendall, Essex

We love your brilliant interpretation of the

original design, Linda!

COOL ACCESSORIES

Here is the phone case I knitted from issue

151 of Simply Knitting, by Kirstie McLeod.

I adapted the size for my phone and chose

soft shades of green, which happens to be

my favourite colour! I also knitted the lattice

cushion covers by Georgia Farrell, also from

this issue, to go in our campervan.

Bev Murton, via email

You must be so pleased with these, Bev!

This will make a

great game for

children to enjoy
