Have you all been following the Stylecraft Blogstars Garden Party? It’s been so much fun to take part in this. It’s always great working in tandem with the other blogstars, and it’s so interesting to see how we all took the same starting point (garden party and ‘pastel colours’) and came up with different things. … More Paja’s Party
By now I imagine many of you have seen the fantabulous news that Stylecraft’s 2022 crochet-along has been designed by none other than yours truly 😀 Under the Sea is the blanket I designed a year ago, and it’s so thrilling to finally be able to share it with you all! I actually began the … More Under the Sea
We are deeply into the January cold in my part of the world, with lots of frost and mist and a definite need to snuggle under piles of blankets. However, believe it or not, spring really is just around the corner. Snowdrop and crocus shoots are already beginning to show above ground, and the days … More Bees ‘n’ Bugs ‘n’ Butterflies Wreath
I realise it’s getting rather boring, me apologising for not posting in a while, but I am sorry it’s been so long. Life has been going on, with good days and bad days, but time seems to be a completely nebulous thing at the moment. I’m still counting in ‘weeks since Mum died’, which is … More Easter bunny, sort of
Sometimes you’ve just got to amigurumi. Or at least I do. I started crocheting, many moons ago, with amigurumi – dolls, animals, play food – and I still enjoy a good amigurumi pattern, particularly when I’m in the mood to make something quick. Say for Christmas, or a child’s birthday that I’d forgotten about 😀 … More The Three Witches
To say I am overwhelmed by the positive response to the Kaleidoscope blanket would be rather understating it. To be honest, I’m quite gobsmacked by how many people have joined the FB group, or contacted me, or bought colour packs! It’s so lovely seeing so many of you choosing colour packs or your own colours, … More My Kaleidoscope story
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
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
