is it a bird? is it a plane? no, it's needlewoman!


Remember this book I got a few weeks ago? Care for a nosey inside?


You know you are on to a winner when this is the first page...


I want to be this little girl!


Or maybe I'd rather be this vampy lady


I quite fancy making this tea cosy


or I could knock up a pair of 'evening mitts'


I love these little pixies too


And if anyone ever gets the urge to crochet their own brassiere let me know, I can sent you the instructions!
