As promised, I’m back to give you a good look at the first of the three colourways for The Winding Path. This colourway is called Moorland Meander. It’s the first colourway I chose, and really the inspiration behind the blanket as a whole. I’d been wanting to use Stylecraft Highland Heathers DK in a blanket … More The Winding Path – Moorland Meander
Oh my goodness, have you seen how much the lovely people at Stylecraft are spoiling us? Twenty new shades of Special DK. Yes, you read that right, twenty new shades!!!! That takes the full range up to a hundred and twenty colours! Look at these goooorgeous new colours. Like I said, spoiling us. New red! … More New Special DK colours!
This is a fly-by visit just to let you all know that Little Miss arrived safely on 2nd August. She has already made her preferences quite clear as to how things should be arranged to her liking, but despite this, both of us are doing okay. Learning as we go! I will be back with … More Hello world
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!
Hello, all. I realised it’s been a while since I checked in here, and although I have very little in the way of crochet updates for you all, I figured many of you would like to hear that I’m…y’know. Alive. Recovering. Whatever that means, and whatever that looks like! It’s over three months now since … More Still plodding on
Life has been very strange and difficult over the last few weeks, as I’m sure you can imagine. There have been lots of hospital visits, lots of firsts, lots of heartbreak. Immense amounts of that last one. I gave birth to my baby boy on 6th May, and though the whole thing was awful, it … More Still here
This is not the post I thought I would be writing next. I thought I would be talking about the baby cardigans and rattles I’ve been making. The blanket I’ve crocheted. The fact that my most stand-offish cat has decided she loves me, actually, because she can smell all the pregnancy hormones. Instead I need … More My baby
So in my last blog post, I talked briefly about an upcoming project that’s crochet-adjacent, rather than crochet related. I wanted to wait a bit longer to tell you all about it, and you’ll already have seen why in the picture below. Yep! I’m pregnant! Thirteen and a half weeks pregnant, to be precise. I … More Introducing Jellybean
First off – and forgive me – I have to get the obligatory Doctor Who reference out of the way. For several weeks while crocheting these, I kept hearing David Tennant’s Doctor in my head telling me not to blink, because obviously, as a Doctor Who geek, these quotations are burned into my mind. However, … More Army of Angels
