Crocheting In Chilly Weather Is The Awesomest

May 26, 2011

In my part of Australia it’s getting chilly – boo. However, I have found crocheting during this weather is great! Yay!

May 11, 2011

After mentioning those crocheted flower coasters I found over at The Yvestown Blog, I decided I just had to make some for Mum.

They look so pretty, don’t they? Yvonne is so clever! They made up really quickly. So quickly in fact, I made a little table topper for myself – I’ll show you that [...]

‘THE’ Magazine Has Arrived!

I recently asked if anyone in the UK would like to do a little swap with me. I really wanted to get my hands on the latest issue of Homestyle Sewing, because my blog has a little mention in there! The lovely Lorraine was quick to jump on the offer, and last week her [...]

It’s 5:00 PM, and I am..

Practice Makes.. Um.. Better?

October 12, 2010

I am on a crocheting binge. It doesn’t help that my local Lincraft has had 50% off yarn for the last few weeks. Enablers!
Here are a couple of little finishes:

The top piece is a potholder and the bottom a dishcloth. I gave them both to my mum as a little thank you for all she [...]

Hello Ravelry, Goodbye Hours

October 8, 2010

Tara told me about Ravelry. {Thank you Tara!} Oh, what a site! I have only just begun exploring, but already I have lost a few hours. Such inspiration! So many patterns! So many resources! I can see many more hours being sucked down the Ravelry plughole.
I have no friends to ‘yarn’ with there [...]

Crochet Help.. Please?

October 2, 2010

Isn’t this just breathtakingly beautiful? It was made by Yvonne of The Yvestown Blog. I have been looking for the ‘perfect’ [...]

How NOT To Crochet

September 28, 2010

Just like this…

Less than 2 weeks ago I decided I would learn how to crochet. Above is my first ever attempt at a…square? …trapezium? Yup, it’s really very bad. I have been practicing a lot and now I think I am officially hooked on crochet. You knew I was going to say that. I knew [...]
