The Sunflowers blanket is coming along nicely, and I’m hard at work on it, writing up the pattern, photographing all the tricky bits, and working up the necessary number of each square. Next pattern I’m going to do something with fewer colour changes! *headdesk* sooo many ends to sew in. Ah well, it’ll look fabulous … More Sneak peek
My stash-bust blanket is finished 😀 hurrah for a quick and easy project to keep my hands busy and my brain relaxed. All the details of what hook and yarn I used and what size squares I made can be found here. I added in some cream, because I could see I wasn’t quite going … More Ta da!
Ever since the Pippin CAL finished, I’ve been nosing through all the pictures of wonderful finished blankets, and I thought I might showcase some of my absolute favourites here. It was hard to whittle it down to the ten I finally chose! There were so many lovely blankets, both in my original colours and in … More Demelza, Demelza
Well, 2016 is over – at last! It’s been a strange year in all sorts of ways, for lots of people, but the strangest thing that happened to me was that I suddenly seemed to become a crochet designer. This time last year I’d never thought about it. Ever. I had never made a whole … More 2016 – what a year.
I made three Christmas blankets this year. One was a commission, and I posted about that already, but the other two were gifts for very good friends of mine, both of whom read my blog, and so of course I couldn’t post pictures before they’d opened their presents! But they each now have their blanket, … More Post-Christmas ta da – the blanket version
Now that Christmas is over with, I can share some of the little things I crocheted for my friends for Christmas 🙂 I’ve also got a couple of Christmas-present-blankets to share, but those are gorgeous enough to merit their own post. This one will be reserved for the little geeky things I made. One of … More Post-Christmas ta da!
I tend to be a one-project-at-a-time sort of woman. I don’t usually like having more than one project on the go, because I have an appalling ability to end up getting myself into a massive muddle about what I’m doing and what still needs to be done, and I end up standing in the middle … More Granny Blues
How is it December again already? I swear it was only a minute ago that I was packing away the decorations, in January. But the calendar doesn’t lie (usually), so I suppose it must be so. Which means it’s time to get out my wreath! Ahh, I love my wreath. I made this last year, … More Let it snow
It’s with joy and sadness that I announce the final part of the Demelza CAL is here. Joy because I’m looking forward to seeing all your wonderful blankets finally completed, and sadness because it’s over! All that’s left, in this last week, is for you to work on your borders 🙂 As before, the pattern … More Demelza CAL – part eight
