About

When I heard that my nephew would be relocating to Cyprus in July, together with his wife and son, I realised that I would not see my lovely great-nephew for his 2nd birthday. My next thought, after how much I would miss them was, of course, what can I knit quickly that they can take with them. This fitted the bill perfectly!

  Diane, some great colourful cardies for your great nephew. I knitted this cardi last year for my 2 granddaughters. The buttons on the dark cardi are stunning!
