Happy Halloween! Trick or Treat?

Stash busting Pop Art campervan cushion cover
I’m pretty sure most of us can’t resist squirrelling away lots of yarn, even those little bits and bobs that have been rescued from partially created items.

I’m having lots of fun […]

Doodling with yarn
Sat at HandPicked Hall yesterday I started doodling with yarn, like you do, and found myself crocheting a flower garland (or is it bunting?). Either way, it helped to keep me occupied and also seemed a good way to use up this odd bits of yarn. I thought you might like to have a go […]
