A pattern to knit a small round drawstring pouch featuring a repeat paw print design. My inspiration was a card sent to me with an order of yarn that I’d purchased from the fabulous Border Tart, which featured a photograph of the paw print of her much loved and missed Midge. The first sample shown used leftovers from a project using her yarn (L...

This pattern to knit a relaxing lavender sachet, is a tribute to all those process knitters out there, who enjoy knitting for the meditation-like state it puts them into, and the resulting freedom from stress.

These little bags for holding centre-pull cakes of yarn, are an easy and addictive knit. They can be made in almost any size so you can make smaller ones to hold those partially used skeins, or as large as you like to hold arran, DK or chunky. The largest one that I made, only used a total of one ounce of yarn, so it is an ideal way of using up...
