With all the time and effort that's required to make a blanket, it makes a refreshing change to make something quick and simple. Almost instant gratification. I bought some Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable months ago. At the time there was nowhere in the UK that sold it (although Deramores recently started stocking a few of … Continue reading Artfully Simple Infinity Scarf

So Near, And Yet…
I have 2 WIPs that are about 10 minutes from being finished but I can't get on with either of them. The first is my poncho. I love the ribbed cowl; it's so thick and squishy. I found all those post stitches hard work. I could really feel it in my elbow and shoulder and … Continue reading So Near, And Yet…
My Crochet To-Do List
I reckon I have easily enough yarn to keep my busy in 2015. Some I only have tentative plans for, but most of it has already been assigned to a project, in my head at least.

As soon as the packs were available on Wool … Continue reading Cosy Blanket

I wanted some blue in there and picked what I thought was quite a subdued shade of blue. It turned out to be more … Continue reading Autumnal Ripple
