Updated edition of the Loopy Flower motif

The easy to crochet and versatile Loopy Flower pattern which I created back in September 2011 has had an update.    It's an easy pattern for beginners to use too so if you've just started out please don't be afraid to give it a try.

Whether you make one flower to turn into a brooch or produce a whole bouquet of them to join together into a scarf or cushion, I wish you lots of fun.

Crocheted Granny Stripe Blanket

By Karen Wiederhold

Nothing like a stripey granny crochet blanket to snuggle up with on a chilly evening. 

I made this a few years ago to fit our king-size bed so as you can image it's large and heavy. It was especially so while it was piled up on my lap during sessions of hooking.

The yarn used is Stylecraft Special Double Knit yarn, crocheted with a 3.5mm hook. 

I didn't write out a pattern as its a simple foundation row, followed by rows of granny stitches.

Butternut Soup - Colourful energy in a bowl.

This weekend I made Butternut Soup; deciding to rely on a bit of kitchen witchery to come up with the recipe as I went along.   Just look at that colour!  A great colour to put into the body when you need an energetic boost.  A great colour to inspire a crafty project maybe?

The finished product, which we ate for lunch, was yummy if I say so myself.  I have written the recipe down now so I can make it again!  I may even share it here.

So if you think I should share it, drop a comment below.

Flashback Thursday - Thinking of You Greeting Card

Karen Wiederhold Designs

Flashback photo to when my 'Thinking of You' greeting card was on the front cover of Crafts Beautiful Magazine. I was so excited when I heard it was going to be the main image on the cover.

Flashback Thursday - Jubillee Cushion

Flashback photo memory to when my knitted cushion design to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee was on the front cover of Let's Get Crafting Knit and Crochet Issue 40.

I was so excited when the issue dropped through my letterbox as I didn't know it was the cover design until then! Happy memories.

Hello

Thank you so much for popping by.

First post in a while and feeling so happy and inspired. 

I've been on a design break for a while but excited to be back in 2020 and have some new ideas up my sleeve.
 

I'm busy making some adjustments and updates to the blog, so things look a little sparse at the moment but wont be for long.  

Two new things i've done already is to set up an Instagram and Facebook page.  Up until now i've only had this blog for my designs.  I'm looking forward to connecting more with you here and also out on social media.

I have archived a large number of posts from the blog because I want to change the type of posts moving forward.  I am leaving a small selection of projects and patterns up for you to enjoy in the meantime.
