~Vintage Knitting Book Giveaway & Birthday Time~



This weekend has seen me turn 44, which is a bit of a shock, but a nicer more symmetrical number than 43...
Laura bought me these lovely flowers.
Remember the Beginner's Crochet on 1st Feb at Me and Mrs Fisher in York? The lovely Hannah and Liz mentioned me and my blog on their Facebook page here.  So, I did also attend the Improver's Crochet the following week and I did manage to understand and complete the different projects, but I was very slow!  My colleague from work came along too (she was accomplished and speedy), and she made me this for my birthday.  Clever lady.  Just the shade of blue I like...

I am giving away this lovely booklet of vintage inspired knitting projects, by the talented Sarah Hatton.

 There are some lovely garments and photographs...I like the brooch on the belt of the dress below...

If you would like to win this lovely pattern book, just leave me a comment and I will randomly draw a winner at 6pm Monday 24th February. Good luck x

    Well done for persevering with the crochet - you'll be fine in no time!
    Happy Birthday to you! Gorgeous flowers, I wish I was only 44!
    Please don't enter me in the draw as I cannot knit so it would be wasted on me - let it go to someone who can enjoy it!
