  • Stash busting Pop Art campervan cushion cover

    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.  It seems such a waste to get rid of them yet they aren’t quite long enough to make into “proper” items.  That’s when stash busting patterns are perfect! […]

  • Sheep Dip Island Resort – crocheted happy place!

    Sheep Dip Island Resort – crocheted happy place!

    I’ve had so much fun creating this! The Sheep first made an appearance at Yarndale last year and they seem to have been well loved.  They’ve had a busy year and I thought that they might appreciate a break.  So, here it is – Sheep Dip Island!  The perfect place for my sheep to get […]

  • Here come the Girls – Doll knitting pattern

    Here come the Girls – Doll knitting pattern

    I have two teenage boys and a husband so, other than the cat, I’m the only female in the house.  Though I don’t think of myself as a girly girl, I do have the occasional rebellious inclination to make something which could be construed as “girly”.  The “Girls” are my current project!  I’m having lots of fun […]

    Yan, Tan and Tethera, the dangly crocheted sheep from Yarndale

    Yarndale 2015 was a very busy occasion!  These little sheep made their first public appearance there and seemed to enjoy themselves immensely (though they get a little boisterous when excited!).  I’d made some extras which sold out almost straight away so I thought I’d share the pattern with you.  You can currently get it as […]

    Hug-a-Bug, the crocheted Beetle

    Who can resist the classic VW Beetle? My Husband had an orange Beetle as his first car.  My eldest son, now 17, wants a Beetle as his first car too! With it’s friendly shape, the VW Beetle was the inspiration for my latest crochet pattern, the Hug-a-Bug.  As with most classic cars, he has been […]

  • Knit your own Campervan

    Knit your own Campervan

    Have you ever wanted to knit your own campervan?  I couldn’t resist having a go at knitting a 3D campervan. The campervan is made using double knitting yarn and surrounds a framework of plastic canvas. At 30cm long there is plenty of room in there for a mini teddy or two.  Just think of all […]

  • Crochet your own Campervan

    Crochet your own Campervan

    Up until now most of my Campervan projects have been knitted so I thought it was time to give crochet a go. I’ve had the idea of making a 3D model of a Campervan in the back of my mind for a while and crochet seemed like a great way to make something pretty structured. […]
