    These roundups are seriously one of my favourites. I really love seeing what other people are making. Maybe one day I’ll manage to get it together and take some photos to contribute!

    Thanks for including my jacket. I am so proud of it – my most complex make to date! It’s great to see what everyone else is making too. Jx

    I always enjoy looking through these summaries! It’s so much fun to see what people have been making and the different renditions of the same pattern all in one spot. Thanks Mary 🙂
