  • Knitted Rainbow Colour Wheel Clock

    Knitted Rainbow Colour Wheel Clock

    Whilst perusing Poundstretcher the other day I spotted a cheap and cheerful clock.  Thinking perhaps that I could “bling” it up a bit I made my rash purchase (£1.99!) and headed home to rummage for inspiration amongst “The Stash”.  This is the end result, a Rainbow Colour Wheel Clock.  I’m sure you guys will come […]

    Campervan Travels Cushion goes supersize!

    I’ve been itching to have a go at knitting the Campervan Travels Countryside Cushion in super chunky yarn on big needles, no change to the pattern size just BIG! This is the outcome, knitted in a super chunky yarn on a pair of 10mm needles.  I’ve added a simple border and I’m now the happy […]

  • Happy Halloween!  Trick or Treat?

    Happy Halloween! Trick or Treat?

    I wanted to crochet something for Halloween but like the idea of making it useful as well as decorative.

Just lift up the top and you have a crocheted bowl, the perfect place to hide your Trick or […]

    Who’s hoping for Minions of Easter Eggs?! (Day 1)

    Me?  Personally I don’t find chocolate remotely despicable but neither do my teenagers so I have to resort to hiding what I consider to be “mine”.  This Minion is helping me out.  I’ve told the teens that he’s a crochet hook holder but actually he’s hiding my chocolate egg in there – shush, don’t tell them!
