I made this little cat for a friend's birthday not long ago, from a Ravelry pattern that can be found here. He's holding a little red ball, as I felt he was a little bland and boring without it. Plus, he needs something to play with. The recipient was very happy with him, and named… Continue reading Little Cat

Granny Square Day
Today is Granny Square Day, and the idea behind it is that you create and/or post a picture of a granny square online, so that there is a virtual granny square blanket across the internet. This wonderful lady created the day, and I thought it'd be fun to bring out the rainbow granny square blanket… Continue reading Granny Square Day
A Burst of Yellow
This little yellow pouch came free with a crochet magazine, and it looked too cheerful not to make. The pattern uses feature rows of crossed trebles (doubles for Americans), which is a stitch I love. The magazine also came with 12 stitch markers, which all fit nicely into the pouch. The turquoise shell button was… Continue reading A Burst of Yellow

Crochet Occamy Pattern – Part 1
As requested, this is the first part of the crochet pattern for the Occamy from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. I'm splitting the pattern in half as there are a few fiddly bits that deserve their own posts. NB. This is a small and fiddly pattern, so if you are eyeing this up as a… Continue reading Crochet Occamy Pattern – Part 1
Crochet Occamy
Ever since seeing Fantastic Beasts, I've seen an array of crocheted Bowtruckles and Nifflers out on the Internet, but never an Occamy. Until now, however! Isn't it adorable? I crocheted it around a pipe cleaner, which simultaneously provided a wire to make it pose-able, and the stuffing in the form of the fluff. I teased out… Continue reading Crochet Occamy
