My Flamingo Square crochet design is a quick and easy pattern for a really cute and fun crochet block. It was first published in Crafty magazine years ago but is now rejigged, rewritten and twice as nice! Sadly, the magazine is no longer running but a lady contacted me recently asking how to get her […]
The latest in my pattern updates is this 12 inch American Star Afghan Block. I’ve downgraded the pattern difficulty to Easy by changing a couple of the rounds to make it less challenging. Why do something difficult when there’s an easy option?!! The original design was a bit bland and needed a new lease of […]

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. I haven’t though, I stole biscuits from the cupboard when no one was looking and I’ve ignored the mound of ironing that is threatening […]
