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 […]
Coping With Christmas as a Crafter
Something happens to us crafters when October rolls around again. We see the Christmas things on the shelves in the supermarket; we see the people complaining on social media that “Christmas starts earlier every year” and our own personal panic sets in. We have to start our Christmas planning. The first year you gave a […]
Public Service Announcement: £4 Yarn Bowls!
I must confess, I don’t really have enough for a full post here but I just have to share! I’ve been after a yarn bowl for absolutely ages. I first saw them at Unravel last year – these magical bowls stop your yarn from dancing around the room while you’re busy working with it. The […]
Let’s Talk About Socks, Baby
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!

My Latest Project Bag Upgrade
Introducing the Happy Crocheting Yarn Drum! I think it’s fairly well documented that I crochet on the move quite a lot.

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, […]

The Unpredictable Granny – My Take on the Granny Square Blanket
Well, this is exciting. I’ve pretty much worked to patterns with every blanket I’ve made – the Scheepjes CAL, the Lydia Blanket, and Sophie’s Universe to name a few. This is fab, and I love working to other people’s patterns – it’s a great way to pick up some interesting techniques and take your crochet to […]
Italian Inspiration on the Amalfi Coast
We recently returned from a lovely week on the Amalfi Coast in Italy, somewhere I’d wanted to visit for years. It’s hard not to have it on the wish list of European holidays after no more than one Google image search – the rocky coastline is incredibly picturesque. In terms of scenery, the Amalfi coast […]
