So who else has been playing with Stylecraft’s new(ish)* Colour Pool yarn? It comes in six gorgeous colourways, which all make it absolutely simple to get a delightful Argyll effect. And when I saw it, I knew I had to have a play 😀 Stylecraft do have a range of free patterns for it, but … More Ta da! Colour Pool Scarf
So, the other day I mentioned that one of my stash-bust projects was bigger and deserved a post of its own. And here it is! A shawligan. It’s a shawl – but with sleeves! How flipping awesome is that? I mean, I love shawls, but they’re not always the most practical of thing. But a … More Ta da! Shawligan
It has been one heck of a summer and early autumn. Heatwave aside, it’s been hard. Way back in July, my mother broke her leg. Badly enough to need surgery, then a long stint in hospital, and an even longer stint at home with extra equipment, extra care, and absolutely no weightbearing on the leg … More Summer doldrums and stashbust fever
Hello! And welcome back to my corner of the world for my second year participating in Stylecraft’s Blog Tour. Yesterday you were with Phil of The Twisted Yarn, and tomorrow you’re heading over to Julia of Hand Knitted Things, but today is my turn 😀 As you’ve already seen, this year the blogstars were given … More Stylecraft Blog Tour 2018
It’s finished! It’s done! Complete! Ahhhhh what a wonderful feeling! I’m so, so pleased with it. It’s crazy. A collision of colours. Utterly psychedelic, just as I imagined it would be. I found the perfect buttons in my button box. Six round buttons, each with a different comical owl on. I sewed each one … More Ta da! Wheelchair cushion cover
So, who remembers me working on a set of cushion covers? And who thought I’d forgotten all about them? Not quite 😀 My lovely pattern testers have been working on these for a little while, but everyone is now done, the errors are all ironed out, and the heatwave has broken so I have enough … More Sunset Cushions
Phew, who else is wilting in this heat? Weeks and weeks without a drop of rain here in East Anglia, and if I had more energy I would be out there doing a rain dance to try to bring some.A good thunderstorm would do me wonders! However, despite the heat, I am continuing to crochet … More Ta da! C2C baby blanket
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
I meant to post this lovely pattern months ago, but one way or another, time has passed and suddenly I realised how long it’s been since I finished it. In fairness, my lovely group of pattern testers have also been working on it, so it’s not been sat idly waiting, but the last month or … More Field of Flowers
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
