The people of Great Dunmow, Essex, are used to seeing yarn bomber Kathleen Shannon’s wonderful work popping up on their post boxes, but it was her amazing Olympic gold medallist dolls that made the headlines, locally and nationally. Her knitted doll versions of winning local athletes Beth Shriever (BMX), Ben Maher (show jumping) and Max Whitlock (gymnastics) have become somewhat of an attraction. We spoke to Kathleen to find out more about what inspires her. Originally from Co. Kildare in Ireland, Kathleen has been living in England for over 30 years and works at Sconch Tearooms and Yarn Shop at Blake End, near Braintree. She has been knitting since around the age of six. “I find it very relaxing and love always having something to do. I’m one of these…

Jennifer May, Production Assistant Find this pattern in issue 200 STAR LETTER MY NURSING DAYS I knitted this tea cosy for my daughter, and I added the glasses so it looks like me when I was nursing. I trained as a nurse in the late 1960s/early 1970s and our uniforms took a bit of getting used to. As you went through the ranks, your dress and belt changed colour and when you qualified, you were allowed to wear a special buckle and cuffs. Caps were starched cotton kept in place with white Kirby grips. You could hide a really bad hair day under your cap! I knitted the doctor tea cosy as a surprise for my daughter who is a GP. My husband tells me it’s the spectacles that make…

QUESTION OF THE MONTH MOTH-BUSTERS Q I picked up a huge stash of yarn and old knits from a vintage fair, and most of it is wool. I am a bit concerned that it might have moths in it. Just in case it has, could you suggest any ways of getting rid of a possible infestation? Emily Price, Bury You’re wise to take precautions with your new haul. Moths prefer to lay eggs in fibres of animal origin like wool and cashmere. They also like dark, undisturbed places so if your stash has been tucked away for years, your concern is not misplaced! To check for moths, get a clean white sheet and shake each ball over it. Any larvae or eggs will show up on the sheet, then shake…

Charity The Archie Foundation Established 2000 What do you do? The Archie Foundation exists to make the difference in healthcare and bereavement for local babies, children and families across north Scotland. What’s your latest fundraising news? We recently reached out to knitters to support our appeal for Worry Monsters – knitted monsters with a zip-up pouch mouth, which children are encouraged to ‘feed’ their worries to. Parents, carers or medical staff working with these children can secretly review what is worrying the child and take action to alleviate whatever is causing the child concern and upset. What can we do to help? Encourage knitters not only to support the charity by making and donating Worry Monsters, but also by undertaking fundraising activities to help raise much needed funds to support…

Some years ago I had a conversation with a friend, and told her I was starting my Master’s degree. I can still remember grinning as she rolled her eyes at me – I told her that she was wrong and I would always be a student. There’s always something new to learn, we can have interests in many different directions (my Master’s degree is in Classical Studies because I love Roman history), and I believe it all adds to the richness of our lives. IN THE KNOW For her, there was a divide between learning and living (or in our specific conversation, getting a ‘proper job’) – one began where the other finished, whereas I think that the two can and should exist side by side. If you’ve ever tried…

– brimming with lovely, cosy knits! Shooting winter photos on a sunny June day as temperatures soared to 25 degrees was a challenge. We had to find shade and muster a great deal of patience. Fortunately, we had permission to shoot at Lyngby Youth Hostel, an ideal location in historical Raadvad, close to Dyrehaven, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
