  1. I love how easy your patterns are to follow and they are less fussy than the vintage patterns. I do love vintage patterns though. x

    1. I too love the old designs - but I hate all the joining!
      So I try to make my patterns just as cute - but much easier to make.

  2. Hi Marianna, I love your preemie patterns. My local neonatal clinic has preemie singlets on their wish list and I wondered if you would have a pattern to be able to knit some for them.

    Thanks
    Leigh

  6. Beautiful pattern! And I love that you have the jacket and hat to match!! Can you help with yardage? How many yards do I need for a 30" blanket? I'm going to use DK yarn with 4 mm needles. Thank you!!
