I’m just popping in briefly to let you know that Deramores do keep getting more stock in – but you all keep snatching it up as soon as it’s available! I know it’s terribly frustrating for those of you who are trying to buy colour packs, but there is plenty of time left before the … More Colour packs
Woooowww, you guys are all incredible. I’m so so thrilled that you’re loving the Kaleidoscope blanket so much! So many of you have signed up to the Facebook group, and you’ve run Deramores out of stock of the colour packs (they promise they’re working hard on restocking). In the meanwhile, I’m really pleased to be … More Kaleidoscope – now in Dutch, too!
Ohhh I have been waiting so long to share this post with you all! *bounces* I’m so excited, I can’t tell you how much I’ve wanted to share this blanket with you all, in all its glory. Months. Months of keeping it hush-hush! Months of plotting and planning and testing and arranging. And now I … More The Kaleidoscope Blanket CAL
Today is an exciting day for me, because today is a pattern release day!! Hooray! Let me show you all the Candyfloss Daydreams blanket. Often, when I sit down to design a new blanket, I have a very clear idea in my mind about what I want to achieve in the pattern. Whether it’s specific … More Candyfloss Daydreams
I am slowly, slowly ticking things off my crochet to-do list. Well, it’s less of a list and more of a ‘argh must do this, must finish that, must sort out ALL of that’, so maybe I actually ought to start a list, and then I might feel less swamped? Anyway, things are Progressing. Some … More To-do list and a little ‘ta da!’
Who would like to hear a cautionary tale? It’s called ‘don’t ever wash a piece of crochet you’ve just finished when you’re too tired to think straight’. Oh yes. You can see where this is going, right? So if you remember, I had a set of twenty 6″ squares that I rejected from my latest … More A Cautionary Tale
Somehow most of September has slipped by without me really noticing it. Can you believe it’s October tomorrow?! I can’t. Though the weather today is certainly trying to convince me that yes, it really is autumn now. Wet and grey and windy. Oh yes, it’s saying, the summer is over, get out your blankets again, … More Busy busy busy
This blanket has not been straightforward. In fact, I spent a large part of last week tearing my hair out (and sometimes getting a bit teary in frustration) over it. Something wasn’t working. Twenty 6″ squares done, completed, ends sewn in and all – and they weren’t working. And it was only when I’d worked … More Stumbling along
The other day I did something terribly boring and bought a new rubbish bin for my bedroom. I have two there (and indeed two in most rooms in the house!) to separate general rubbish from recycling rubbish, and having bought a nice bin for recycling some time ago, I decided to get the same bin … More Mini make – tags
This blog post is brought to you from the depths of climate change summer hell, where today it is a positively cool 25C, unlike yesterday’s record-breaking 38C. I am a pale-skinned, red-headed Brit, and I Do Not Do heat like that :S it’s exhausting and brain-draining, but today is so much cooler, and I am … More New design project
