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.

Let's Get Crafting Issue 38

The new issue of Let's Get Crafting is on sale now with patterns for things to make for Baby.   I have three projects inside and here is a glimpse of one of them with permission of the magazine.  Let's Get Crafting comes with a complete kit of yarn, crochet hook and knitting needles to get started so it's great for a beginner or someone wanting to rediscover a hobby they've gotten out of touch with.

Edited to add:  I had a request from a reader for help with assembling the booties on page 56, so i've drawn a quick sketch.  Not the most fabulous of sketches but it shows the important stuff :-)  If you also need some help please email me and i'll get it to you.  My email address can be found in the "about me" section at the top of the blog.

Let's Get Crafting Christmas Monsters

Hello there.  At last this new issue of the magazine is out and I can finally share these quirky little guys with you.  You will find the pattern to make my little monsters in Let's Get Crafting Issue 35 on Sale from today.

New yarn!

I'm a contented lady this evening having just cast on the first row of a new jumper in this gorgeous colour called Violet.  I'm a fan of Stylecraft DK because it's a lovely yarn to work with, and at 100% acrylic it is by far one of the softest i've ever worked with and wears really well.

Usually I make crochet blankets and toys with it because it is so easy to wash and dry; keeping it's softness, colour and shape, so i've decided to give it a whirl in a jumper because i'm looking for it to be easy to wash and dry for regular wear.

While in the wool shop today I also bought some balls of yarn for another jumper in a really scrummy colour combination which i'll need to share tomorrow.  My phone battery ran out just as I was about to take the photo.

Wishing you all a relaxing evening.  I'll be knitting while watching Who Do You Think You Are?
