  7. Thank you for providing/sharing your knitting patterns. Whilst off work recovery from a knee replacement op I decided to knit some premature baby hats, booties & mittens to donate to my local maternity ward. Using all your patterns for these items I found them very simple to follow, was able to easily introduce contrasting colours. What's more the garments took no time to complete. I thoroughly enjoyed using my recovery time for a beneficial cause. Thank you so much for making your patterns so readily available.
