I was showing my granddaughter one of my favourite books for knitting inspiration - Barbara Walker’s ‘A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns’ and we happened upon a stitch called ‘Corona’ … and it was May 2020.

Inspired by May Gibbs’ GumNut and GumBlossom Babies.

A long time ago knitting patterns were often called recipes and I like the analogy because a cooking recipe is something I follow precisely only once – then I adapt and improve the recipe and make it my own.
