After all the glitz of the Christmas season, the start of the year can be tough. It’s cold and dark and there’s not much to look forward to – also there’s pressure to make all sorts of self-improving resolutions. If it’s all getting a bit too much for you, dip into the delightful Dogs on Jumpers, a book of knitting patterns by renowned knitters Sally Muir and Joanna Osborne. As well as the cute subject matter, it’ll satisfy your pledge ‘to learn a new skill’ in 2019, and will save you money on clothes and/or presents into the bargain.
