This week was spent making another birds’ nest. I’m using a different pattern to the first batch, as I’m testing this pattern for a how-to-crochet class I’m helping to teach. This yarn is absolutely gorgeous, I love the mottled pink and purple. Though it does make it hard to see your stitches in the first…… Continue reading Birds Nests – pt 3

Occamy Pattern
Do you remember the crocheted Occamy I made back in 2017? I shared a pattern I’d written up for it, and I’ve spent today working on transferring it to a separate page that is now on the sidebar, for ease of access. Go and check it out (if you wish)! It’s just underneath the ‘About’…… Continue reading Occamy Pattern
Nesting Nests
Since the last time I posted about these, I’ve made three more nests to make a, er, nesting set of nests for the Australian bushfire recovery effort. This blue one is the most recent one. This orange one is the largest, and if there weren’t animals that needed it, it could be used as a…… Continue reading Nesting Nests

I’ve been meaning to replace the hood on Sarah’s 13th Doctor coat for a while, as it was originally made with too-small scraps, and I finally got round to it. This new one sits much better over the shoulders, and it fits over her head! I’m also making another birds’ nest in this orange yarn,…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Birds’ Nests
In Australia at the moment, there are a lot of very bad bushfires, and to assist with the rehabilitation, wildlife centres are asking for donations of crocheted birds’ nests, like the ones below. They’ll hold baby animals (not just birds!) that have been rescued from the fires and make them feel comfortable while they’re being…… Continue reading Birds’ Nests

The TARDIS walls are coming along nicely! I should be on schedule to have them finished by the start of season 12 on New Year’s Day. I thought this looked really cool, with the light blue against black. Big stack of hexagons ready to go on the walls, like the picture below: Above is where…… Continue reading Project Roundup

I've mainly been working on the TARDIS recently, specifically these pillars for the corners. There's six of them that need painting, which takes ages to do. In-between painting pillars, I've been teaching myself corner-to-corner crochet. I've only done this little square at the moment, but I definitely want to do more. It's lots of fun,… Continue reading Project Roundup
Marvel-ous Bag Tag
I'm pretty sure you've seen this before, I originally made it as a badge before I finessed my technique. However, you definitely haven't seen the other side! The old Captain America shield badge has been turned into a bag tag, with this Winter Soldier circle on the other side. And the loop on the top.… Continue reading Marvel-ous Bag Tag
Project Roundup
First, I re-made Sarah's Thirteenth Doctor pants because I wanted to adjust the fit a little and I wanted to put pockets in. The pockets are lined with the same fabric that's inside the coat sleeves - which I thought was a nice little connection between them! I've also been crocheting some leaves from this… Continue reading Project Roundup
Goose
I wonder what this orange sphere could be... It looks like it has a head... could it be... ? It's a cat! (Or is it a flerken?) More specifically, it's a crocheted Goose the cat from Captain Marvel. Crochet Goose has a plaited tail... ...and a ribbon collar with a 'tag' made from a sequin. Honestly,… Continue reading Goose
