Mini update number one

July 3, 2018

Happy so far 🙂 gonna work on more motifs tomorrow, I think.

After the gloom and frustration of my last post, I have some good news to report 😀 no, not a new pattern design precisely, but a new project. Some creativity, at least. I have embarked on another freeform crochet project. This time a more functional item than The Starry Night: a cushion cover. To be … More New project

MIA

June 27, 2018

I have been rather…absent, over the last few weeks. In fact it’s over a month since my last blog post 😮 and even on Instagram, I haven’t been all that active/invisible. It’s been a hard few weeks in Real Life, for various reasons, and I’ve ended up in rather a state of over-exhaustion, which has … More MIA

Field of Flowers – colour pack

June 12, 2018

I’m so pleased so many of you liked the Field of Flowers blanket. It really is a beautiful one, though I say it myself. And I’m pleased to be able to tell you that colour packs for the full blanket are now available in my Deramores shop! (full disclaimer: if you click through to Deramores … More Field of Flowers – colour pack

Ta da! Stardust Melodies blanket

May 8, 2018

I have finished something! I am abnormally pleased by this, because it means my WIP list is smaller. And also, because I’m quite worn down at the moment, the ‘finished’ buzz is more rewarding than usual. I can’t do x/y/z at the moment but look, I can finish a project! Two, in fact, as you’ll … More Ta da! Stardust Melodies blanket

Too many WIPs

April 8, 2018

I seem to have ended up with three WIPs at the moment. It’s extremely unlike me, and it is rather disconcerting. It’s happened for very sensible, sound reasons, but I’m still disconcerted by it. My first WIP is my current design project, the cushion covers I’m working on. I’m neeeeearly at the finishing stages of … More Too many WIPs

Ta da! Baby blanket

March 20, 2018

It’s nice finishing something quickly, sometimes. I love big projects, I love the planning and the work and the final ‘omg yes it’s brilliant’ moment, but I do also like things that are more of an instant gratification thing. Or, if not instant, at least ‘a couple of weeks’ rather than ‘several months’! So, as … More Ta da! Baby blanket

Tiny ta da

March 13, 2018

So, hands up who else forgot it was Mother’s Day on Sunday? No? Just me then? *headdesk* in my defence, I spent last week in a hazy fog of ME exhaustion, plus my mother is actually in hospital at the moment (heading towards three weeks now, ugh) and one way or another, Mother’s Day just … More Tiny ta da

Ta da! C2C cushion

February 28, 2018

Anyone else wake up to snow today? 😀 Brr, it’s cold. But oh so pretty! This last week or so, I’ve mostly been working on a corner-to-corner cushion to match my latest blanket – and to use up some of the ends of yarn leftover from that! I’m very pleased with the result, and it’s … More Ta da! C2C cushion

Sprinting

February 19, 2018

If blankets are marathons, I have definitely been doing the final sprint over the last couple of weeks. Those of you who’re following on Instagram or Facebook will have seen my pics and my sheer dogged determination to Just Get It Done, and at last I am there. I’ve been working and working and working … More Sprinting
