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

A quick round-up

February 9, 2018

I’ve been a bit MIA over the last week, for which I apologise. It’s been a horrendous few weeks/months, health-wise, here in my little corner of the world, and once The Secret Garden was published I sort of crashed into oblivion. I’m still mostly there, but a few of bits and pieces have brought me … More A quick round-up

Planning plans

January 11, 2018

I’m so gratified by everyone’s reaction to The Starry Night. I worked so hard on it, in secret, and it’s just so wonderful to know it’s so admired and to hear that it’s inspired so many of you to try freeform for yourselves. It’s a kind of crochet that I definitely want to do more … More Planning plans
