COLOURFUL COTTAGES

My grandchildren asked me to make

these adorable little cottages. The

original inspiration for these projects

was actually from a tea cosy pattern. I

managed to modify the pattern to make

them into complete houses. I

have to thank my husband for

the internal construction, made

out of foam card, to prevent

them being crushed when the

grandchildren picked them up. I

thought that would be a sturdier

option to hold the cottage in place

rather than toy stuffing. It was a lot

of fun making them knowing they

would get so much pleasure playing

in their imaginary world!

I just love your wonderful cottages!

What a brilliant idea to add some

foam card to create a 3D-effect

and easy to knit.

Jean’s nine-year-

asked ‘nonna’ to

knit it! She’s very

pleased with the

finished project!

SPECIAL GIFT

I just wanted to thank you, as a recent

subscriber to Simply Knitting, for the baby

cardigan pattern by designer Monica Russel

you featured in Issue 201. I decided to give

it a go using some Stylecraft Classique

cotton yarn from my stash. Annoyingly, I ran

out of red to do the collar, but undeterred,

I improvised with black and some ladybird

buttons. Now that it’s finished, it will fly

away to my Granddaughter in Seattle!

Erica James, Suffolk

What a stunning gift, Erica!

Erica opted for a

ladybird theme

beautifully put

together by Jen,

with great

attention to detail

This is my latest finished project from your

fabulous magazine! It’s an Alan Dart design.

Do you like it?! I haven’t missed a single

copy of Simply Knitting in many years, and

always look forward to your next issue!

Mary Crowley, Co Cork, Ireland

Wow, brilliant work Mary!
