I’m back again with a closer look at the final colourway for this CAL 🙂 This is Woodland Wander, a colourway in Stylecraft Special DK. I chose these colours for two reasons. Firstly, to offer a brighter colourway than the two in Highland Heathers, with earth tones and neutrals contrasting with the deeper, richer red … More The Winding Path – Woodland Wander
Belatedly, I’m back to give you all a closer look at the second colourway for this blanket, Highland Hike. This colourway was actually the third colourway I chose, after Moorland Meander and Woodland Wander, because I kept playing with these colours and I decided I couldn’t resist. Officially, I chose this as a palette to … More The Winding Path – Highland Hike

So….you know how sometimes you have every intention of doing something, and you really mean it this time, and it’ll definitely happen today and then it all just sort of…doesn’t happen for months at a time? That would be me and writing a blogpost. In my defence, I do have some excuse. I’ve spent most … More Still alive, I promise
Hello all, I have some happy news to share with you. I’ve waited quite a long time to tell you, and when I say it’s because I wanted to get to the 20 week anomaly scan, you’ll probably understand why. Yes, I tried again. I had another round of IVF, and I’m pregnant. And the … More Surprise!
With the New Year came, apparently, a renewed ability not only to crochet but to design. I cannot express how happy I am about this. A few odd things aside last year, I have felt so inspiration-less for so very long. And of course, looking at the year I had, that’s completely understandable. I’m not … More The cro-jo is back
