    About

    I love knitting OGE designs and as I already had some blue yarn I decided to knit this new pattern in the hope that perhaps my NZ girlfriends next grandie is a boy. I ended up sending it to my great nephew in UK, as he was the only boy of the 4 babies that were born in 2018. A very well written pattern, so easy to follow and would definitely knit again as once you get into the rhythm of the pattern it all flows. Added advantage is that other that sewing on buttons and darning in the ends, there was no sewing up required.

        Thank you Jennifer, yes Miles is the perfect model. My niece sent me the pic yesterday. She is always very grateful for any knits & I have a parcel of 3 more garments ready to send.

      I love your patterns so muchly! Is there any chance you'd offer the "Honey Bee" pullover in adult sizes? I want to knit it up so badly but don't have any children to knit for. Please?

        Thank you Vera, I so love knitting your patterns, as they are so clear. That Honey Bee stitch was just divine. I feel I never stop learning different stitches.

      The Oge patterns are just gorgeous, we had to fly back to Sydney this week and Aahana had the pinafore and grey jumper I did in the OGE designs and she looked so warm and cosy and they don't look like hand knits. We are still travelling and I am still knitting.

        Thanks Jennifer. This is such a good pattern, I want to eventually make bigger sizes for the girls. I am just knitting another OGE design for them for next year - the Lily Ray jumper.

        Thanks Susan. I took photo late at night, so it appears a lot darker than the beautiful blue colour it really is.
