    Love the hats! i'm sure that you'll make that pattern work out perfectly. You've made enough of those clothing items to know what to do! It's so helpful to see how great knitting is done in the real world by those who know how to adjust patterns to make them fit.

      that was the reason i started making my own patterns Jenny, sometimes the written ones never worked out right or i never liked when they did come out right, but not right for me, a lot of trial and error involved till i got it right..

      I will be doing another bubble stitch cardy soon Linda getting a few orders for them now, good luck with your butterfly ..good job you noticed shaping on the sweater or you would have been tighter on one side..

      Hi Sheila,
      I really enjoy your videos. You are such fun! I admire your British humour! My husband was British and he was extremely funny.
      Your knitting is great. Well done! Take care.

    Dear Shelia you gave me your cold an for last week snuffle snuffle snuffle an running out of tissues , av finished the cardigan I was knitting well all but the button bands an neck an because the pattern was done in plain knit but I have done it in your open moss stitch and it looks great but the bands say to pick up and knit 120 stitches but because I can not pick up stitches neatly an because of the moss stitch I think picking up stches I will make a mess an probably av holes up the front . Would it be ok to just knit the button bands and sew them on and button hole band just work out the holes equally think I could sew that on neatly what do you think im so sorry to bother you with it . I know what you mean my house is warmer in winter but in summer my house is cold now, I don’t remember the cardy that you had started must av been a while ago . Would you believe the pattern being wrong I used to hear my mother ranting about patterns that were wrong it’s annoying if you av started them an have to abort your knitting . Any way hope you sort it out , I have just found out some of my slates av slid out on the roof so av to get them sorted always something going wrong take care love Jean X💕💕

      you can knit your bands long ways Jean sometimes that is best, knit the button band first measure it, i usually count the no of rows i did so when i do the buttonhole band i divide the rows between buttonholes so they get placed evenly, sorry to have passed my cold to you i have also passed it onto 1 of my grandkids little Eddie, he was picking bogies out of his nose all day yesterday lol, think i started my cardy last May Jean about time i got it finished...
