Never attempt to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and it annoys the pig.

Sure.. just let me know what pattern you need help with. Iโ€™m on my phone at the moment, so I canโ€™t see which post youโ€™re replying to.

Good luck! Just message me if you need any help. I can send you the chart as a big excel if that helps...

This week is the theme of #joy on #showmeyouknits. For me itโ€™s wearing something that I designed and made myself. Here itโ€™s the cardigan, scarf and socks. In joyful colours.

I just finished writing up my latest cushion design. It's part of a marine life set I'm working on. As ever I added an "Easter egg" quote on the reverse for visitors to discover. I hope you like it!

This was one of my early attempts at a Fair Isle-type cardigan. I went a bit mad with the colours... but I loved this garment and wore it until it was threadbare. #stricken #knitting #knittinginspiration #knitsky #yarn #knittingart ๐Ÿงถ

No, I only sell the patterns. Each sweater takes around 100 hours to knit, so you canโ€™t realistically price them even if you wanted to make a living that way. ๐Ÿ˜…
