As the saying goes, “April showers bring May flowers” and if there’s any truth, then we are in for a rainy month. But rain doesn't necessarily equal doom and gloom. That’s why I’ve rounded up some fun and colourful patterns to brighten up your April. After all, another month, another 30 days of knitting!
