Links of London Sweetie Bracelets
I am getting a number of messages asking me whether I still repair Links of London Sweetie bracelets since they went into administration towards the end of 2019. The short answer is YES! I wrote a post about repairing elastic bracelets, specifically the sweetie bracelet about 5 years ago so it is about time that…

Mystical Lanterns Blanket
My Grandma had been wanting a throw for her newly decorated bedroom but was struggling to find a green one that she liked that was modern enough to fit in with her theme. A little scroll through ravelry and I found the Mystical Lanterns Blanket by Jane Crowfoot. It was a pattern that I had…

Quick Super Chunky Baby Bunny Hat
I made this for my little one as a bit of a joke (he is going to hate me when he is 18 and all these pictures surface!). Anyway. I made it up as I went. It was very quick, it took maybe an hour or so to make and is made from Robin Super…

Crochet Rabbit Egg Rattle
This was a silly little project that I played around with in front of the telly last night. I jotted down the pattern as I went along but I am no pattern writer so please bear with me. I will improve the instructions at a later date hopefully but maybe this will help you get…

Crochet Lamb by Vanessa Mooncie
I have to say that I’m not a regular crochet magazine reader, I would rather browse online and muse away a few hours on Pinterest or Ravelry. Typically 90% of the patterns published in magazines I probably would never make although I enjoy flicking through them every so often. The exception recently has been the…

One day…
I thought that I would share some of my favourite crochet patterns that are still in my revelry queue. If you don’t already have a ravelry account then you are seriously missing out! Ravelry is my go-to place for patterns and it handily allows you not only to buy and save patterns for items that…

Giant Knit Bunny!
With Easter around the corner, I thought I would share my latest make…a giant knitted bunny for my little boys nursery! This is a pattern that I had bought and saved when I first fell pregnant but I only just got around to giving it a go – just in time for the designer, the…

It’s not all “wool” and other things I have learnt on my crochet journey so far…
When I first ventured into the world of crochet I had no idea that it would take over my life! My Facebook timeline, my Instagram feed and various Pinterest boards are all fueling my creative streak and I totally blame everybody else for the 6 WIPs that I have at the moment! Since joining this…

Crochet breast feeding hat!
I suppose I should start by issuing a warning that this post contains images of naked breasts – crochet breasts that is, but if you are sensitive then you may wish to skip past this one! I have seen these hats on social media and ravelry before and had a little giggle to myself wishing…

Sophie’s Universe!
I am super excited to share the progress of my Sophie’s Universe Afghan. For those who have never heard of it, Sophie’s Universe is a beautiful crochet pattern designed by Dedri Uys. The design was originally published as a “crochet along”, which is when the designer releases a new part of the pattern online week…
