A long time ago, I started a jumper for me – well I say a jumper. I wanted a cardigan…… but “winging it” with no pattern was not on my side this time! It was my first time making an adult sized item of clothing. I’d seen some gorgeous jumpers on Pinterest, in the most… Read More A new Jumper for me!
I treated my self to a new crochet book a few weeks ago. I’d seen lots of people talking on instagram accounts, and I’ve followed the author Lalylala on Instragram for a long time – I love her Sheep doll!

I had it in my head I wanted no two circles with the same colours. Then I thought that… Read More Blanket progress
I’m getting a bit addicted to wreaths, or all shapes and sizes! I love the “real ones” and made one a couple of weeks ago at a great workshop which you can read about here. I made a crochet one in my first year of crocheting – a challenge to myself, but I never got… Read More A quick and easy Crochet Christmas wreath
The circles are growing and are all too time consuming. A quick post for the round 2’s….. all 156 of them! I’m starting to think I may need more than I thought! Even with a change in the pattern to make the centre bigger I’m still not sure what size this blanket (yep you were… Read More More circles…..
Hello, haven’t been here for a while. Computer technical issues, don’t get me started, but no internet, then folders on the iMac not working, then photos not finding my phone, have all put paid to me posting lately.
