Union Jack Tea Cosy

   Its been a busy time since my last post . . . I've been working on the website and you can now buy stuff there . . . I had my first sale there this week yippee - it works!  However I do still have a ton of stuff to upload!

   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!

   Its absolutely pouring down with rain and the shop is empty . . .  my knitters are obviuosly all at home knitting so I am now going to get on with uploading more to my website!  I hope you visit it and do please let me know if there are any broken links or other problems!
