First of all, happy new year! I hope 2021 is kinder to you all. Secondly, as you can probably tell, my first finished project of this year is me-size crocheted socks! I wasn’t a huge fan of my previous knitted ones, but these feel a lot thicker and sturdier. The pattern is from an old…… Continue reading New Year, New Socks

Couch Cushions
Tiffany’s been sewing…. ….and crocheting all week…. ….to finish these two couch cushions! The crochet cushion has two different sides, because I couldn’t decide between two different colour combinations. I’ve had the idea for a bow tie cushion for a while now, and I’m really happy with it! The cushions could have been a little…… Continue reading Couch Cushions
Spring Jumper
I know I said summer clothes and all, but the urge to try a crochet jumper before the season passed was too strong! I’m not thrilled with the shoulders, but I do like the lower neckline. I also love the texture in the moss stitch and rib stitch. And Petra loves the colour! Would I…… Continue reading Spring Jumper
Guinevere
I needed a fun project recently, and I received a book that had this little dragon pattern in, so meet Guinevere! I put wire in her wings in an attempt to make them less floppy, but I’m not sure it did much! I might need to block them…. I’d probably do her eyes again, or…… Continue reading Guinevere
Project Roundup
The cabinetry in Needle & Thread is done! This one on the right will be filled with fat quarters…. ….and this one will be filled with yarn. I have a plan for filling this with yarn, but I’m still working out how to do the fat quarters. I’ve also been crocheting a new amigurumi pattern,…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Tiny Cap
I received this crochet kit for my birthday, and have only just got stuck into it. You can probably guess from this progress montage…. ….but the first character I made was Captain America! He’s very small; he’s about 9 cm (3.5 in) from head to toe. I love his little shield – there’s a little…… Continue reading Tiny Cap
Project Roundup
I love stocking up on yarn for a project, especially when it’s a project this colourful! This pile of rainbow yarn turned into these gloves for a family friend. I crocheted around the thumbhole to neaten the edge, and (hopefully!) to hold it together for longer. I’ve also started the front façade of the new…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Tee’s Long Sleeves
Between a week of crocheting squares, sewing panels together yesterday…. ….and sewing on pockets this morning, Tiffany’s cardigan is done! “It’s so warm!” The sleeves are a little bit tight, but she can still get in and out of them. Either way, Tee loves it! I was inspired by a similarly-constructed cardigan in a crochet…… Continue reading Tee’s Long Sleeves
Winter Garland
All the pieces done…. ….and crocheted together! I made these scarves years ago and they’ve languished in a prop box pretty much ever since, so it’s good to have found a use for them. I love how they look like they’re draped over the white chain. I made three different snowflakes with three different coloured centres. There’s…… Continue reading Winter Garland
Flower Pots
Without flowers…. ….and with flowers! These big pots are the last element I need for Tea at Yaz’s courtyard (for now). There’s bougainvillea in the bottom pot, the blue flowers are oleias flowers, and I haven’t thought of a name for the yellow-orange flowers yet. The oleias flowers are used to treat minor skin-level injuries,…… Continue reading Flower Pots
