Knitting a puppy: A course on Domestika, by Claire Garland.

When I was sent a knitted bunny pattern on Pinterest I was so inspired. I love surprising materials and also accessible crafts! I wanted to make an owl for my daughter’s harry potter lock down party. When searching for a knitting pattern I discovered the amazingly talented Claire Garland’s work. I’ve been a fan ever since. If you sign up for her newsletter, you get a lovely free pattern every couple of months. I wish I had the time to create them all.

Recently I accidentally signed up to Domestika for a year ( I mean I started the trial and forgot to cancel it!). This is a on-line learning platform with all sorts of courses,I have taken a few already. Then I noticed that Claire Garland had a course on there.

I was forced to stop for a bit because of a horrible cold. I finally had time to just sit and knit. So here he is my knitted puppy, he’s been christened Milo. How long before my daughter steals him?
