About Me

My Photo
My name's Alison but for reasons too long to go into I'm known as Cockney Blonde or CB for short. I've been rubber stamping for about 9 years now and love hiding away in our 'sun lounge' (my craft zone), creating. I've been with my DH Dave for 23 years and between us we have 4 kids and 5 grandkids. We also have 2 cats and 2 dogs, one of which features as my 'photo' image. I try to blog daily but sometimes 'life' gets in the way. Thanks to all the blogs and sites I follow for all your brilliant inspiration.

Another Layette Basket


Phew, this was a more difficult wool to knit with. This time I followed the instructions more closely by using a chunky wool, doubled for the sides. It is beautiful and soft and resembles baby lambs coats but not easy to knit with and I don't think it looks or feels as sturdy as the one I made in pink.

Below is the inside circular pattern. I had to increase the circle in a different way as the yarn was too awkward to create the lace effect of the pink one.

I'm sure once its laden with nappies, talc etc it will be absolutely fine.

It may be a while before I make another.

Hope you're all managing in this cold weather, x
