Introducing New Pattern Books for 2010

We're very excited about 2 new publications to our range in 2010.




Patons "The Big Book of Small Projects 2" presents a wonderful new range of highly sought after small projects, ideal for gift-giving, charity knitting, stalls and fetes. The book includes patterns for 3, 4, 5 and 8ply yarns, as well as a wide selection of crochet patterns, so there's something here to suit everyone. We were most relieved to see the wide range of knitted and crocheted toys available, as we receive numerous requests for these types of patterns. We also love the wide range of Christmas ornaments and wedding accessories, great for marking these important occasions in life. Click here to see more.




Also new to our range is Shepherd's publication "Baby Shower", containing 14 projects for new arrivals and young children. Once again, it's great to see patterns for pram toys and a stuffed animal make it into the mix. There is also a great, practical design for a nappy bag in there too. Choose from one of seven designs for pram covers and cot blankets, or knit hats, mittens, cardigans or jumpers for the 0 -9 month old in your life. Click here for further details.
