Sydney Artisans Market in Marrickville
Sat 23 - Sun 24 May
The Portugal Club - Fraser Park
100 Marrickville Road.
Located just two minutes from Sydenham station, with plenty of free parking on site: and no show entry free!
I never fail to find a little something special at Sydney Artisans Market: pottery, jewellery, a little gin, a Portuguese Tart, woodwork, or up-cycled clothing.
I have extra space for a sale rail, with one off pieces, discontinued designs - and a few pre-loved garments too! |

| Split Texture Tunic/Jumper |
   |
| Above centre is a stunning new colour, Toffee Fleck, shown in my Split Texture design which now comes in Tunic/Jumper styles |
 
This is a Tunic version of the Split Texture Jacket, which is great fun to knit and wear with its short row slanting hemline.
I have used many stitch patterns from the Split Texture Jacket, with the addition of the Large Leaf and Bamboo stitch on the body and sleeves.
There are 5 chest sizes and two length options in the pattern. The side seam rib is picked up from the edge of the body and knitted out to the side seam, allowing for extra chest ease if required.

Dublin Jacket & Cardigan
for even more knitted textures |
The Dublin design started as a jumper. With a few changes I've created the Dublin Cardigan with a classic round neck as well as shawl collar Jacket option.
I've added in a touch extra A-line, both into the side seam of the garment and also by decreasing the number of stitches per pattern blocks from hem to shoulder. I loved creating the Dublin and am really happy with giving you a kit or finished garment in a choice of styles. |

I created the Frida Jacket (left) as a pure indulgence, as I love knitting Intarsia/picture knitting.
So, Famous Paintings followed on from Frida and now my latest design (below) has Freddie Mercury on the sleeve, Piano keys, guitars, drums and a saxophone. Just a little musical fun.
My 1990's range was all about picture knits, from rainforest scenes, barrier reef designs and outback images to the Sydney Opera House. The themes were endless, even a Banjo Patterson design, with several verses from is writting.
You haven't tried knitting with colour? I am always happy to email a pdf of a colour knitting class for you to try your hand.

Below left from the 1990's this design was knitted for a local friend who wrote a book about Taronga Zoo in Sydney. Right - a couple of nosy parrots!

Already have a pattern? No probs - you can purchase yarn only. Or if you want a complete kit see accessories on Shopify.
If you want to knit the same hat twice simply order one kit and then buy extra balls of yarn for the second kit.

| Perfect small projects, whether they're single colour, flecked yarn or multi-colour combinations |
Verve 12 ply is 70% Wool & 30% Acrylic with 90m to 50g. Available in four colours, the long drifts of colour are showcased beautifully in the Wave Wrap kit (left).

 Verve is also available as kits for hats, with the patterns written for both 8ply and 12ply yarn. Hats require 100g (2 x 50g) of yarn.
Accessories can be kitted in either Verve or Wool Fleck. The Muffin Top & Wicked Hats are two separate patterns, though the fundamentals are similar.
Hat patterns can be knitted circular or on straight needles.
