Star letter

Pretty elf

After knitting lots of

gifts for Christmas,

I decided to make

something for

myself – Tinsel the Elf from

issue 79 , using yarn I bought

from a local charity shop. I

love knitting (and crochet) and

as I have a grandchild due in

June, my needles will be extra

busy. I learned to knit when I

was about 20, so have been

knitting for 40 years now!

Sheena Gilpin

Lucy says We all deserve to

knit something for ourselves

now and then, Sheena!

Hats off

I knitted these hats for

a charity, St Petrock’s,

who help the homeless

near me in Exeter.

They’re my own

pattern and I use DK. I

also knit for a preemie

baby charity called

7X+ISVKIŭWMR0SRHSRERHEPWS

toys to sell in my local wool shop.

Bea Richards

Lucy says How kind-hearted of

you, Bea – your hats are lovely.

Party ready

Since having to leave

work due to health

problems, I have more

time for my hobby. This

pattern is by Karen Ashton-

Mills of I*believe*in*angels

and I used James C Brett

Twinkle DK in red and King

Cole Moments DK fur yarn.

Hooded cables

I knitted this cabled jacket for

a friend’s grandson. I just love

making small things and how

could you not love a cable? It’s a

King Cole pattern from Baby Book

4 and it’s knitted in Stylecraft DK.

Liz Fitzer

Lucy says Someone’s going

to be a handsome boy in that

gorgeous jacket, Liz!

Winter warmer

I made this cape set for a

friend using Marriner DK

and Sirdar Funky Fur. The

pattern is from Kadie Jade

Knitting Designs. I knit for

family and friends, and I

send cardigans and hats to

my local hospital’s neonatal

ward and I make poppies to

raise money for The Royal

British Legion.
