Work on the 8ft by 8ft hexagon blanket continues. I’ve finished joining the ends together and just need to make some half hexagons for two of the edges. It’s starting to look awesome! BUT, oh boy, are there ends to sew in. A snaggled mass of ends waiting patiently for me to deal with. For […]
I found a bag stuffed deep in the darkest corner of the Wool Room. “What’s this in here, then?” I wondered as my hands delved in to find out. Out came an almost complete granny blanket! “Brilliant!” I thought smugly. Now I can finish something! For weeks I’ve been drowning in unfinished projects, tripping over […]
One week before Christmas I began to work on Dads Christmas present. A ripple blanket in bright colours and a folky feel. Folk = scraps in my mind so I rummaged a sizeable collection of Cascade 220 Superwash from the Wool Stash and got hooking. There are splooshes of pink and peach, green and brown… […]

Oh dear. Its been ages since I blogged. March was the last time! So, glossing over my disappearance from blogland, here are some things I’ve been working on lately… A little flower square which I’m planning to use for a scarf pattern. I’ve been doing some Tunisian crochet. Yep, looks like knitting but ain’t. […]
Its Saint David’s Day today!!! I thought I would revisit my Daffodil pattern from ages ago and post a Daffodil Hexagon photo tutorial for you. Here’s how the finished Daffodil hexagon will look. Take a sneak peak at the material list and grab your hook at the ready!
Meet my Rosanna crochet pattern. I don’t think I ever got around to posting about this pattern. The pattern is for the 8 inch crochet block and includes yardage per block so you can work out how much yarn you’ll need to make yourself a blanket of any size. The central motif of the square […]
Yes, its Christmas Eve afternoon and I’m still working on my Rose Square crochet pattern. Its all a vain attempt to fool Santa Claus into thinking I’ve been a good girl.
