I've finally got around to something I've been meaning to make for the longest time. A little crocheted jumper for Bertie! I've delayed for so long, in part I think, because I figured he'd never want to wear it if I ever made one for him. We were told he should wear a coat when it gets cold in winter, but we struggle to find a coat that covers him up properly, he can walk well in and that doesn't rub him and make him sore.
In the end I thought that maybe the jumper idea might be worth a try to see if it would at least solve a few of those problems, and it would finally g ..read more

I've been wondering about the idea of trying to dry some orange slices for Christmas and wondering if it would work actually work, when of course I then started to wonder if I could just crochet some instead!
I had a couple of mini skeins in orange shades left from my 2019 Lay Family advent calendar that fit the bill quite nicely, so I had a little play around. I tried a couple of different ways of doing it, but decided that simple colour changes worked best of all.
I can't lie, they are a little bit fiddly to do, especially the first round where you change colour every stitch, but ..read more

It's been a while, but I have a pattern to release!
It's my attempt at a crochet version of all of those lovely Christmas knitting patterns that you see. The ones designed with yarn advent calendars in mind, showing off all 24 days of glorious mini skeins and making the perfect 'run up to Christmas' project.
Baubles & Berries Wrap
I get so much pleasure out of the yarn advent calendars that I've had in the past, and much enjoyment from knitting some of the beautiful patterns designed to suit them too. But it's often harder to find crochet patterns that fit the bill. So ..read more

I sat down to write this post the other day and couldn't think of a single thing to say! So I've come back today to try again. I wanted to show you this lovely blanket that I've finished. As you'll know from the title, I called it the Crochet Star Quilt. As usual, keeping my name fairly literal. It's crochet, it's got stars on and it's inspired by quilt designs. Yep it does what it says on the tin.
I've been meaning to try and get back to posting for such a long time. At the beginning of the year I tried a kind of 'round up' post, one for each mon ..read more
