Pumpkin Man

October 29, 2010
Autumn is well and truly here, the colours have, and still are, fantastic, evenings are drawing in and halloween is looming.
When I saw this pattern for Jack O' Lantern, (fondly known by us as 'Pumpkin Man') I had to make him. His big fat smiling face would cheer any gloomy day.
Christmas will be upon us before we know it, do come back and see what we have for Christmas characters.

Postman

August 19, 2010
For more years than I can remember I have knitted.Taught by my Mum at an early age, I have tried my hand at most things.
As knitted garments went out of fashion I started to knit character dolls and toys, most of the patterns I use are either Jean Greenhowe or Alan Dart.
The one I knitted for Kemsing Post Office is the Hedgehog Postman and he is permanently on display. There are many more characters I would like to share with you so do come back and look for character updates.

A Real Character

August 5, 2010
Margaret Douglas-Graham 20.08.1933 - 04.05.2006

There are many in the village who knew Miss Graham (as she liked to be called!!)
We only knew her for a few years but in that time built quite a rapport with her.
A very independent lady, the one thing she loved was animals, especially cats. Her one dread was leaving her cat with nobody to care for it.
We could go on forever about Margaret, a real character and we all miss her striding through the village wielding her stick.
Margaret is buried in th...

Information on Kemsing Post Office

It must have been really strange as there was no counter as such, you stood outside and were served through the window. It was in an extension on the side of the house but it is now in what was the main...
