This
month, we've got part one of a brand-new mystery CAL project for you to
enjoy. Designed by the talented Sabina Poonwassie, we can reveal that
it's an absolute beauty with a very pretty visual surprise in the final
part!
Now winter has descended, we've packed this issue with cosy wools and chunky winter warmers
With patterns from Nicki Trench, LuLu Loves, Vicki Brown, Jackie Laing, Helen Free and Bergere de France!Â
