In this new series, I’m going to take a look at some of my favourite yarns, what is so great about them and what kind of projects I would recommend them for. To kick off, I thought I’d take a look at what I’ve come to see as my default yarn – the wonder that […]
7 Deadly Crochet Sins
While I consider myself to be a fairly proficient crocheter, I could also be described as terminally lazy. I think you’ll understand what I mean when I confess my 7 deadliest crochet sins. One more thing though – none of these crochet “sins” have ever stopped me from crocheting up a storm! I crochet my […]
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 […]
The Lydia Blanket – she’s finished!
I’m delighted to inform you that I have achieved my own personal crochet milestone today! I have finished my Lydia blanket – a beautiful pattern from Dedri over at Look at What I Made – and in doing so, I’ve completed my first ever crochet blanket which is made of motifs. I fell in love […]
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 […]
Commuter Crochet – a Beginner’s Guide
Anyone who follows me on Instagram will be aware that my favourite hashtag is #commutercrochet. As a London commuter, I spend a lot of my time crocheting on trains. I can’t say enough positive stuff about commuter crochet – I genuinely love it. Commuting had a lot to do with my decision to learn to […]
The War on WIPs
I had to make a confession to my husband the other day. It was hard to admit, but I currently have about 30 works in progress (WIPs). I wish I was exaggerating. I think the root of the problem is that I love yarn too much – when I find some yarn I love, I […]
Unravel 2016
As I’ve mentioned before, Unravel has become a must-do on my yarn events calendar every year. The fact it’s really close to home helps, but I’m also a big fan of the multiple small rooms, the friendly atmosphere and the fact I can get around a couple of times within two hours – once to […]
Merry Christmas!
Just a quick post as I settle down to my Christmas eve glass of chianti to say Merry Christmas! This year’s Christmas crochet hasn’t all been gifted yet, so I can’t share much with you in terms of pictures… but here’s a little bit of what I’ve been up to lately. Autumn/Winter Crochet Wreath After […]
Simple Amigurumi Snowman
Happy December! Or, as most crocheters call it, “a million projects on the go at once season”. It’s no secret that this is the season for crochet – I love giving out handmade gifts at Christmas time, and over the years they’ve got more and more ambitious. It’s fair to say I’m a bit snowed […]
