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 […]

Dancing in the Sea – the Scheepjes CAL 2016 so far
I don’t know why I’ve been finding the 2016 Scheepjes CAL a bit tougher to blog about than Sophie’s Universe. Maybe it’s the square-by-square construction of the blanket, or the fact each square is a single colour that’s been stopping me going photo crazy? Either way, I SHOULD have been blogging about this project – because […]

2016’s Must-Hook Crochet Blankets
I thought 2015 was an incredible year for crochet. The year that brought us the unbelievably beautiful Sophie’s Universe by Dedri Uys (which I adored making myself!) and Jane Crowfoot’s phenomenal Lily Pond CAL was one I didn’t think we could top. But here we are in April 2016 and already I’m astounded by some […]
