I had been itching to make a crochet wedding bouquet for ages – I had intended to […]

How to make crochet succulents

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen some of these crochet succulents popping up on my feed the last few weeks. I’ve been working on these for a big project which I will reveal to you all at some point in the next few weeks, but for now I wanted to publish […]

Summer in Somerset

Yellow Labrador covered in mud up to hips

Last weekend we had our annual doggy holiday, and we’re all still in a bit of a blissed out, “I-want-to-move-there” state after a fantastic few days in rural Somerset. This was in our garden – can you spot Poppy hiding in the dappled shade? Last year we took Poppy away for the first time to Scotland […]

Reviewing my new toy – the yarn winder!

06.25.2015 by Elsie Pop // 4 Comments

Red and cream yarn winder on desk

I never thought I needed or wanted a yarn winder. I was happy enough with using yarn directly from the ball, or, when I had a hank to work from, sticking it on the back of a chair/around my knees/on my long-suffering husband’s outstretched arms and winding it by hand. Then I went to Imagiknit […]

KA Tunisian Crochet Hooks – My New Must-Haves

06.19.2015 by Elsie Pop // 2 Comments

KA Flex Tunisian crochet hook

As a mad Tunisian crochet devotee, I had struggled to find my perfect hook. I should take a step back and explain myself. I am also a “normal” crocheter, and I can still remember the first time I tried a Clover soft touch crochet hook – it was love at first stitch. I still feel the same […]

A Tale of My Sewing Machine Phobia

06.18.2015 by Elsie Pop // 16 Comments

Safi Turquoise Fabric from Hillary's Blinds

I’m going to be honest, I was a little apprehensive when I saw the Hillary’s craft competition. I sit and stare longingly at my sewing machine fairly often – when I set up my lovely craft area I made sure it had a permanent space on the desk – but I’m not very confident with […]

Scheepjes CAL 2016 weeks 1-6

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 […]

Christmas as a crafter

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 […]
