Hello folks!
I thought I'd share my Hemlock collection!
I've used this pattern loads since Jen put it up for FREE (yay free pattern!) - it's super quick and easy to whip up and a great wardrobe staple (as I'm sure you all know).
I've made it up in both t shirt and jumper weights and they've all come out well.

Except for the woven version, I stitched all the seams using just my overlocker and finished with a twin-needle on the neckband and hems.
I've made a couple of normal length jumpers using the pattern, but I generally prefer to crop them so I can tuck them into skirts, dresses etc. I've also started to take a couple of inches off the side seams so they are slightly more close-fitting.
It definitely wins an award for being one of the most made - and worn - patterns I own and I'm still planning more as I write this!
