Lockdown has provided some much
needed time to have a good sort through
my yarn stash, and use up some spare
skeins on a special project. Here are some
of my ‘Thank you NHS’ bears.

community knitting
that has been going on
recently. Your bears are
beautiful, and I love the
pretty pastel shades!What do

MAGICAL MOSAIC
I thought you might like to see my version
of the mosaic cardigan in issue 199, by Siân
Brown. The style was just right, but I wanted
a shorter sleeve length. I also decided to
leave out the mosaic border and replaced
this with the Lace Teardrop pattern from
the back of the same issue. I decided to
use DROPS Cotton Merino, which is really
lovely and easy to knit with. I’m rather
pleased with the end result! Thank you for
an excellent magazine, which I look forward
to every month!
Janet Yates, Nottinghamshire
Your cardigan is stunning, Janet. I’m
impressed with how you transposed
both designs to create this pretty pastel
project – it looks perfect for spring!This pretty pastel
pink cardigan is
very versatileCOSY KITTIE
I saw a lovely cat hat pattern in a magazine
a few years ago that I knitted for my cat,
Judy. Doesn’t she look sweet? I liked this
pattern because it was cute and unique. I
thought it would keep Judy’s head warm
when going to the vet in her basket during
colder months. I intend to knit another hat
in Alpaca yarn. The pattern was easy to knit- it’s garter stitch with two holes for ears,
with crochet straps. I used pink and white
Peaches and Cream cotton yarn.
