Blog postProgress is being made!
Last week I told you about the baby project that I’m working on and I’m making great progress!
My little Koala Lovey is really starting to take shape!
There are almost as many stitch markers as pieces!
Right now it’s a bit like a jigsaw puzzle, everything is there, it all just needs to find the perfect placement so it all fits together, just so.
If you don’t know what a lovey is, I think it’s a very technical term for a stuffed a3 weeks ago Read more -
Blog postThe sun is shining today after what feels like an eternity of grey and wind. Spring is around the corner, I’ve started seeing the daffs poking through and that gives me hope for longer, warmer days!
Plus, there’s a new baby in our family! No, not mine. That shop is long shut. But there’s a baby and I get to see her soon!
The thought of finally having a new baby around has made me want to make all the baby things again, so I’m making a gift for her which is a load of fun.

Blog postIt’s WIP Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but every day is WIP Wednesday around here. I literally don’t remember the last time I didn’t have a crochet project on the go, even if it was shoved in the naughty corner.
A project that’s nowhere NEAR the naughty corner however, is my new Autumn hat project!
Just look at that colour! The orange is just glorious. It glows like it’s on fire, I cannot get enough of it.
What you see growing here is the brim of the hat. I’m work5 months ago Read more -
Blog postAutumn is all in the colour, right?
I never really appreciated the colours of Autumn growing up. In Australia we have mostly evergreen trees – Eucalyptus, Acacia, Melaleuca and the like. They tend to look (and smell) beautiful all year round.
It wasn’t until I moved to the northern hemisphere that I really learned to appreciate it. Driving through the Devon lanes and wandering the old forests and moors of de Veluwe in October, or dreaming of visiting Canada in the Autumn. It’s5 months ago Read more -
Blog postIt’s pattern time!
Here you’ll find the free pattern for my Centerpoint blanket, made with Scheepjes Organicon in mind. You can substitute for Scheepjes Cotton 8 or Catona Denim which have similar weights and yardage, or any Scheepjes yarns in fact. You’ll just need to consider the quantities needed when substituting.
I just so happen to have a bonus pattern with this motif coming your way using Scheepjes Chunky Monkey, so that will be a great option for you too – a way to mak7 months ago Read more -
Blog postI’m so excited to be able to share this new design with you!
It’s been a massive undertaking; probably the largest crochet project I’ve ever made, and all with a teeny tiny 3mm hook!
I love the pastel rainbow, all brought together with the soft white stripes radiating out from the centre.
The Centerpoint blanket is made with Scheepjes Organicon, their first certified organic (and vegan) cotton yarn, and using a 3mm hook. I’ve shared more information about this lovely y7 months ago Read more
