Handmade by Clare

I've been knitting/sewing/crocheting items for over 50 years for myself, my 3 children and recently for my 8 grandchildren. I am mum to 3 and Nana to 8.

In July 2016 I created the page ‘Handmade by Clare’ to show items made and for enquires about ordering items. I've been knitting for over 45 years for family, friends, shops and charity. I've recently dusted of my sewing machine to make things for my grandchildren. If you like what I've made and would like to order one, message me to discuss colour, size and price. Yarn/material are all subject to availability, a deposit may be asked for, this will become non returnable as soon as yarn or material is bought.

I often get asked ‘do you knit adult items’ and the answer to that is ‘yes I do’. I’m just about to start knitting a jumper for my eldest granddaughter (grey cardigan is one of the items I’ve knitted for her), who’s wish list of knitted items is getting longer!!
These are a few of the jumpers/cardigans/tank tops that I’ve knitted recently.

A very useful jumper especially now it’s gone cooler. Love the colour which was chosen for this to be knitted in. Part of an order for a one year old.
Available in sizes 14”-22” chest (approx new born to 1-2 year old)
Can be knitted in a wide choice of colours. What colour would you choose?

The temperature has dropped lots here in Manchester, went out at 7am for my morning walk, lovely sunrise, birds tweeting but I should of put a bobble hat on! It was cold. 🥶

This babies cardigan was a pattern test knit from Laura’s knitting patterns, available in finished chest sizes 18” to 26”. An ideal cardigan for a baby girl. 👶 I really like the mock cable design on the front.

Have you been enjoying the warm sunny weather today? ☀️
I’ve done some gardening and then enjoyed an hour or two sat in my garden knitting working on an order for an ‘oxo’ jumper.
Do you think we’ll get anymore warm sunny days this year?
