Easter means, for me, Spring and also birthdays (mine and Eldest Biscuit's to name two of half a dozen), renewal and the colour yellow. Chocolate of course and weekends with my lovely wee family, holidays from school and work. I do like spring, even if it's usually always still baltic here in my wee bit of Scotland. Yet the sun shines and that is always lovely don't you think?
So down I sat with my mag and my cappuccino.
Mollie Makes has egg cosies on it's cover that took me back a couple of years. You may remember I knitted these for Teacher gifts way back in 2010.
The pattern for these is there for all now in issue twelve and they are well worth the time to knit them up. Although now I am looking at the photos I did change the pattern after I knitted up the blue one. I confess I hate hate hate garter stitch with a passion. I think it shows up uneven tension and is quite ugly. I'm also surprised when designers choose it over other stitches that look so much better. Anyways I changed the cuff to 'rib' which I thinks looks loads better. I might have to make one for me as I frogged the blue one to make the phone cover you see in the first photo. They are cute and I remember the Teachers I made them for loved them too.
I do love Mollie Makes, such a lovely, inspiring magazine.
Take care, my lovelies.
