For as long as I can remember, I have loved lace. When I was much younger, I was always fascinated by lace materials and I did my fair share of hand sewing with them. It’s no wonder then that I love lace stitches and I’m always tempted to incorporate lace stitches into my patterns. I was really thrilled for an opportunity to collaborate with Elisabeth of Desamour Designs again and knew immediately that I would design a lace crochet cowl with a stitch pattern that is easy to remember. The Lydia Lace Crochet Cowl is a quick project to work on and an absolute joy to make. The stitches are so eas ..read more

Hey hey hey you guys! Boy have I got an uber easy beanie pattern for you! One word: totally fun! Okay, that’s two words but I am really stoked about how much fun this pattern is!

I have yet to meet a crafter who has never been in a crafting funk. It’s definitely frightening when the urge to do your favourite craft(s), which you likely do everyday, just disappears. Sometimes, it’s gradual. Other times, it’s pretty sudden. Whichever way it happens, there’s always an awful feeling that comes with it and try as you might to force yourself into getting your mojo back, it can sometimes take a while. I used to get terrified anytime I got into a knitting and crocheting funk but I have since found ways to deal with my crafting funk. Here are five ways of getting out of a craft ..read more

I love it when a knitted garment has waist shaping. Not every garment requires waist shaping, of course, but they’re definitely a necessity if you want that trimmer look. The traditional method of waist shaping involves working decreases and increases at the side of the garment. Although it’s quite possibly the most popular method of waist shaping (I have used it in my patterns), it is realistically more suited to hourglass shapes, which rules out many of us. It is thought that women’s body shapes generally fall under five categories with others a mixture of these body shapes. Pear: Hips are ..read more

Happy Easter, friends! Hope you’re keeping safe wherever you are. It feels weird to celebrate Easter on lockdown but this is what is absolutely necessary at this time to combat this terrible pandemic that has swept over much of the nations of the world. The virus cannot, however, take away the importance of Easter in the life of a Christian. The Easter holiday happens once a year but for many Christians like myself, everyday is Easter as we are daily grateful for the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ. His death means that nothing, absolutely nothing, can separate us from God. With this in min ..read more

Hey lovelies! How have you been? I haven’t blogged in a little while and what perfect timing to do so ‘cos I have some exciting news to share! Yaay! In June this year, I had the opportunity to exhibit at The Wool Monty Show as a featured designer. It was there that I met the amazing duo (Marie and Dominique) of Wool is the Answer. Their stand was behind mine (sorta) and we got chatting – I liked them both instantly! During the course of the show, Marie and Dominique approached me about designing a crochet shawl for them as they had been thinking about expanding their range of patterns to inclu ..read more

Hey lovelies, It’s been a minute since I posted on the blog but there’s been so much going on behind the scenes – most notably the launch (finally!) of my online shop.
