Re-vamp of blog and a little bit of knitting

As you can see, less than a week in and I've already changed the name of my blog and changed the background! I was hoping to make the name shorter in the hope that the last few letters would not drop off if  people viewed it as an App. But that hasn't worked but hey ho! Most people in blog land know me as karenlotty, so have stayed with that.

 As knitting is my passion I thought I would show you an example of one of the baby garments I make. They are either "pinched" by my daughter for her friends and/or given to Harefield Hospital to sell. I even print off little tags with washing instructions printed onto some old My Craft Studio printable ribbon. like I've said in my first post, I will value and treasure your comments. Hopefully I successfully added a "Followers" button too.

 A special Hello to Mrs Duck who has encouraged me to do this, Marie-Louise, GailT, Janice Wallace and Maureen Killen. Thank you for joining in the dance. (more about that later!). Please let me know your blog names so that I can visit you too


 Ingredients 
Sirdar Tiny Tots pattern 1744
Sirdar Crofter Baby Fair Isle effect DK
appropriate needles
1 button!

    There you go matey!
    I have the honour of being the first follower on your blog, hurrah!
    What a sweet little cardi . Love the frill along the bottom. Pity you don't do these in a bigger size anymore lol!
    Can't wait to see what's next.
    Best wishes.

    Hallo Karen, you may know my name from Mrs Duck's and John Next Door's blogs. I admire you setting up a blog, I think about it but life has been so hectic this past couple of years I really haven't the time. One day... Just love this little cardi and especially the frill around the bottom. You bravely showed your first card which I think was great much more professional than my first attempts! I wish you well with this venture, bye for now Jackie xx

    Hi Karen,
    I went on to your blog, and there you were - gone!!! BUT after going to see Mrs Duck today I found you again - hoorah.
    The little matinee coat is beautiful, aren't they lovely to knit. You no sooner start than you seem to finish, so much better than a huge man's arran jumper.
    See you again, soon
    Maureen xx
