Mum knows best...


This Mother's Day treat your Mum (or let your daughter or son treat you) to a visit to Monk's House,
the Sussex country retreat of the Bloomsbury writer Virginia Woolf...

...she was a knitter too, as this intimate portrait by her sister, the artist Vanessa Bell shows.

I am also loving these cute 'Sewing Tin' biscuits by Biscuiteers,
the perfect tea time treat and something a bit different than flowers to send your craft-loving mother, grandmother, mother-in-law, daughter or friend this Mother's Day!

  1. I love the biscuits. I think that there were lots of knitters around in 1920 & 30s, I was impressed by the hand knits worn by the actors in the recent TV series South Riding

  2. Me too!!! A friend did the knits for the series, cool arent they! i just love
    the old vintage knits! Often though in 2, 3 or 4 ply quite fine!! But look beautiful because they are so fine!!
    My personal favourites are the old 1950s Mary Maxim patterns!
