With All Best Wishes for a Happy Christmas to my readers. I thought this year that I would give you a free pattern for a Snowflake Coaster. I say Coaster but you could regard it simply as a pattern for a new snowflake. I made two sparkly ones. These are my favourites. The white and… Read More A Christmas present for my Readers
I created this pattern to offer my grandaughter as something that was interesting, not very large and only needed knowing how to make chains and double crochets (US- single crochets). In the event she preferred the idea of using her multi-coloured yarn to make a scarf but I have now created a tutorial showing how… Read More A New pattern – A Free One this time!
Recently I didn’t have anything at a suitable point to take to the ‘Crafty Coffee’ morning so I decided I would take a copy of my Christmas bauble pattern and some #10 crochet cotton and start making some more crochet baubles for that special time of year. However as I followed the pattern – shock… Read More Confession time! and a ‘Thank You’

Last Christmas I showed you these crochet baubles I bought in Paperchase. And told you that I would like to make some myself for the next year. Well! that time has come but with wanting to finish two blankets and some Christmas gifts to make as well I have not progressed as much as I… Read More Crochet Baubles
As requested by http://themeepingkoala.wordpress.com/ I am sharing my granny bunting pattern. I decided to do it as a tutorial. As a general guide: I used Rico Essentials Cotton nominal DK [US 8ply] (but to my mind a little thinner) and a 4mm [US no. 6] hook to make bunting triangles about 4 inches (10cm) each… Read More Granny Bunting tutorial
I made some crochet cards at Christmas with removable stars but it seemed to me after I had got into making bookmarks that cards incorporating removable bookmarks would be even more worthwhile. Now I am not really an Easter card sending person but where people have sent me cards in the past, I have felt… Read More Easter cards
Since Maryanne suggested that it would be a good idea to have some Easter related entries for the ‘Made It’ monthly challenge, I decided to try my hand at crochet eggs. I have realised that it is being impatient and lazy that leads me to write my own patterns. I start out due to this… Read More A Dozen Eggs!
Before I continue with my subject I just wanted to share something that made me happy and surprised. A lady called JudyR who can be found on Ravelry told me about another lady ‘fanalaine’ who had made a blanket using my ‘granny ripple’ crochet pattern. She’s finished a blanket and I’m not even half way… Read More Crochet Bookmarks
This is something I have been thinking that I would fit in when I didn’t have much else to write a post about. Of course anyone who looked very closely at my original post about the rainbow scarf could have worked out the pattern from the photographs of the charts I used when I made… Read More Rainbow Scarf pattern
