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

05.07.2017 by Elsie Pop // 2 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 […]

Sock knitting

Let’s just take a second to appreciate my terrible pun in the title. Sorry to subject you to that. I recently posted about my forays into the world of sock knitting – and I was so excited to post about conquering my biggest crafting fear, that I hadn’t even finished my first pair!

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 […]

80s Bonfire Night Crochet Cowl

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 […]
