Halloween is almost here and Holly and Snowflake are getting ready to go out trick or treating. They’ve decided that their Holly and Snowflake dresses aren’t quite right for the occasion and have asked me to make them some new costumes. They both wanted to be witches and as they are the best of friends they […]

Happy Halloween! Trick or Treat?
I wanted to crochet something for Halloween but like the idea of making it useful as well as decorative. Here is the result…..looks pretty straightforward doesn’t it?

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
