I’ve given in to the weather and taken the best photos I can of my new hat and scarf. I had to adjust the colours but it is almost impossible to reproduce the particular shade of blue green. I suppose it is somewhere between turquoise and peacock blue. I have made both of the patterns… Read More At last I have something to show you!
Not having started any more knitting and crochet as I am not sure what to choose, I thought that I would share what I made in 2017. This was very much the year of Celtic crochet. I started by devising some plaitwork bookmarks and published the best pattern. I also then made some Celtic cross… Read More Looking back on 2017
I have been feeling a little out of sorts lately, not sure which project to start next, so when I heard that the Apostleship of the Sea wanted hats (among other things) as Christmas presents for seamen, I decided to make one. I found a pattern suggested by the Apostleship of the Sea in a different… Read More Two hats and a dishcloth
I met up with my eldest and family and had a couple of meals and had fun in an Escape Room.

The mittens may not look very long but this is partly because I only had a limited amount of yarn and anyway they still fit within the sleeves of my outdoor jacket. So back of the right… Read More Bonbon hat and mittens

Now life lately has been extremely traumatic (not sure if I want to share the details sometime but it does mean I… Read More Let’s have a Giveaway

Well here is my finished Buff®. It is maybe just a little short of the standard 18″ but not by much and the knitting is fairly stretchy of course anyway. The whole point of the thing is that you can wear it in a whole variety of ways. Now the ones you can buy are… Read More Just a bit of fun!
I have now finished my hat and scarf for the “Made It” Challenge and here I am wearing them. If you’ve been here before this is the corrected picture my son did for me. The colour is really more blue but it ‘s the best we can do. Here is another picture of the Hat… Read More Hat and Scarf revealed
