New Patterns... and there are a few!

I have been a little lapse in getting my designs out there to you all... they may be up on Ravelry, but not anywhere else... and I haven't even really told you about them... so, here we go... are you ready for some patterns??

Little Rhun

The long awaited Little Rhun is the child version of Rhun (Baby), this pattern has actually been available on Ravelry since November! This cardigan is Miss 7's favourite knitted item by far and she has put in a request for more like this one, so I better get designing!!

The pattern is for an "open", curved front, cardigan with a cabled edge. The long sleeves also feature the same cabling. At this stage I am still calculating the adult version, but it is in the works!
