7 Things to Consider When you Pack Knitting and Crochet for a Holiday

05.07.2017 by Elsie Pop // 2 Comments

I’ve talked before about how I love to crochet on the move – when I was commuting into London every day, I was always crocheting furiously on the train. Now I used to get a bit carried away with the projects I took with me sometimes, often working on my favourite WIP whatever it may […]

West Yorkshire Spinners Signature 4 Ply Review + Giveaway!

WYS Giveaway

I’ve made no secret of the fact that I’ve become a total sock knitting addict lately, having picked up the double pointed needles for the first time last September and following Christine’s awesome tutorials over at Winwick Mum. With the sock knitting obsession comes the discovery of the joys of sock yarn. If you haven’t […]

80s Bonfire Night Crochet Cowl

11.05.2016 by Elsie Pop // 11 Comments

It’s bonfire night tonight in the UK – one of the weirdest traditions we have on these little islands, where we celebrate a historic plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament by setting off a load of fireworks and lighting a bonfire with an effigy on the top. We’re a strange nation. But no-one […]

All I Want For Christmas Is… Yarn.

11.01.2016 by Elsie Pop // 9 Comments

all I want for Christmas is yarn

Ok, that’s a lie – I also want other crafty things. But in general, I’m hoping Santa takes the hint this year and delivers a load of crafty goodness on Christmas day. As it’s November now, I think I’m allowed to write my Christmas list! Here are a few of the items I’m currently obsessing […]

10.28.2016 by Elsie Pop // 1 Comment

Christmas as a crafter

Something happens to us crafters when October rolls around again.

We have to start our Christmas planning. The first year you gave a […]

yarn bag

Introducing the Happy Crocheting Yarn Drum! I think it’s fairly well documented that I crochet on the move quite a lot. My Instagram is littered with photos of me crafting on trains, I’ve written here before about my love of commuter crochet, it’s kind of just my “thing”! So I was over the moon to […]

The Great London Yarn Crawl 2016

Oh. My. Goodness. I think the Great London Yarn Crawl might be the best way to spend a day in the world ever? I was expecting the yarn crawl to be good – I mean, it’s a day touring the craft shops of London, so it was always going to be fun. But in the end, […]

Shelving makeover - Annie Sloan

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Upcycling

I feel compelled to rave about my latest non-crochet project – giving a tired old shelving unit a new lease of life with the help of Annie Sloan chalk paint. This unit was a hand-me-down from my parents – useful, but increasingly beaten up and battered. It needed saving. I’ll be honest – I would’ve […]

Facing a crafting fear

Facing a Crafting Fear

I mentioned in my post about crojo that one of my tried and tested ways of getting back into the swing of crochet after a temporary loss of interest is to try a different craft. The thing about trying out new crafts is that sometimes it can be a bit scary! I know what I’m doing […]
