We're knits

knitting.jpgThis has surprised me. You wouldn't think a knitting pattern could cause so much excitement, would you. But every day I'm getting emails and phone calls about it.

It's an old knitting pattern which we discovered in a cupboard - it had been first printed many years ago in Farmers Weekly. 

One lady set about knitting it, sent us a photo of her grandson - young Ben Bucknall (below) - sporting his new jumper, and the calls started coming.

Tractor 4.JPGThose nice people over at Organic Farmers and Growers are among the people busy knitting. Steve Clarkson, admittedly rather bigger than Ben, is looking forward to modelling his after winning the pattern in a competition on Twitter.

People who know about these things tell me knitting is still popular with the older generation and is even in vogue among younger people nowadays.

I guess the credit crunch will prompt more people to knit their own clothes, too.

If you want a free copy of the pattern, just email me.
