Looking Back at 2015

Thank you to everyone for your kind words and support on this blog over the year. Wishing you all a Happy and Peaceful New Year 2016.

Here are a few knitting projects completed in 2015. Some designed by me, some designed by others and one knitted and designed by my lovely neighbour in Scotland (centre image). Bertie's Shetland Wool Jumper image gained the most likes on Facebook of all the photos I took in 2015!

Red Roof Croft in Landscape Magazine

Since my last post there's been a bit of knitting going on but I can't show any items in case I spoil some festive surprises. I'm still making preparations for Christmas so the New Year is only just on my radar. I have though, been waiting patiently to share news of the Jan/Feb 2016 edition of Landscape magazine. It's available in newsagents today and includes a three page feature and instructions for the Red Roof Croft knitting pattern. 

Inspiration for the pattern came from a croft house with a red roof over on the Applecross peninsular. You can see a picture of the real house taken by Wester Ross photographer Ed Duncan over on his Facebook page - click here. The pattern is also available to download as a digital file from Ravelry.

If you don't know 'Landscape' magazine click on the image below for a preview of this edition. It also features articles about the British countryside, heritage, crafts and cookery along with great photography.
