Soon the festivities for the diamond jubilee will be apon us and I've been working on a number of projects which I am going to gradually unveil, and then . . .Ta Da!!!! I will make a wonderful shop window full of cool patriotic stuff.
I've been translating a jubilee jumper from the original 40's pattern - (originally in size 34 inch using 3 ply ) to one for size 36 inch using 4 ply.
The pattern is a free download and can be found at the Victoria and Albert Museum website; http://www.vam.ac.uk/images/image/13096-popup.html but if you want to buy the yarn from my online shop http://www.lupinandrose.co.uk/ then I will send my version free with the yarn. Yarn used is King Cole Merino Blend 4 ply shades - 9 scarlet (2 balls) - 25 French Navy ( 2 balls) - 76 Aran (1 ball). Yarn costs £17.50 and postage is FREE.
My Union Jack Tea Cosy pattern is also available on the website. This too is free with yarn. I think it's really great and will defo be using it for our jubilee tea party!
