wham bam
Lily’s take on Wham Bam, this was knit at a different gauge and has an i-cord border. The yarn is Stylecraft Signature and took nearly 3 skeins. A very cosy gift for her friends birthday next week. Happy New Year to all visitors to Joli House! Hope you’ve had a cosy start to the year!

Back in August we attended a Herdy knitalong day at Grasmere in the Lake District. Lily was wearing her Wray cardigan and lots of knitters were stopping to compliment […]
