I posted a book swap on the 1 January and was contacted by Denise. I was so pleased I did my post because I wasn't sure if anyone would take up my offer. I sent Denise the diary, some flower seeds and a hand-made lavender pillow. Since then I have made another four cushions because I enjoyed making the first one so much. Here is a picture of my lavender bags (work in prgoress) and the lovely cards. I was very lucky to receive hand-made cards in exchange all with my favourite flower, the Allium. A big thank you to Denise who made me smile on receiving such a lovely swap and good luck with your garden planning this year. I plan to do another one in the next few months so watch this space!
And here it is all finished last Friday, just in time for a heat wave! Seriously I do love this jumper and it fits so well with a white t shirt underneath, jeans and flip flops. Just waiting for the cold spell so that I can wear it out (rather than around the garden when its cooled down in the evenings!). I haven't written a pattern as such just some helpful notes from my pad. If people want to know how to construct one have added some notes below. As you know the Daisy Granny Square is the design of Sue Pinner from her book Granny Squares published 2013. I do love Sue's book, its packed with so many projects and ideas and the photos are beautiful. The daisy granny square pattern is quite addictive and you soon have a small pile of them in no time! I have an idea to make another one for the autumn in the same Debbie Bliss Rialto DK yarn but all edged in shade 90 honey, I have enough in my stash. Construction Notes: You need to make 18 granny squa
