This is pretty much the Doctor Who edition of Project Roundup, as both of the things I'm working on at the moment are Doctor Who related! First, I decided to crochet the scarf the Doctor wears in the New Years special, so I went out and colour-matched as best as I could... ...and I'm now nearly… Continue reading Project Roundup

Scarves in Summer
In the promotional pictures for the Doctor Who New Year's special, the Doctor is seen wearing a colourful scarf. Much like this miniature one I made, funnily enough! The rainbow design is as close as I could get it to the original scarf. I like the tassels on the end - I've never put tassels… Continue reading Scarves in Summer
Four Years
Four years on, and this little blog is still going strong! I'm very proud, and very thankful to all my readers, whether you started reading yesterday or at the first post. I can't wait to see where the next four years takes us! FillieFanatic
Brighten the Black
In a mad rush of inspiration, I've been doing a little crochet lately. "I wonder what these weird bowl things will be?" I hear you ask. Well, they turned into headphone covers for my very black, very boring headphones. I wanted to use some yarn left over from a Mollie Makes kit, but I barely… Continue reading Brighten the Black
New Methods
In a recent Mollie Makes edition, there was an article on making miniatures for a doll's house, one of which was balls of yarn. They were made by wrapping the yarn around a small segment of straw, which is a better method than the one I used to use, and you can see the difference in… Continue reading New Methods
Mandala Success!
Previously, when I've tried to crochet mandalas, they haven't really turned out very well. Perhaps it's because I don't read the pattern properly all the time, but when I make a successful mandala, it's a small cause for celebration. I like the colours in this mandala, it looks very spring-y, unlike the cold, rainy weather… Continue reading Mandala Success!
Hogwarts Bunting
All 100 little triangles of bunting were finished... ...then the first four were crocheted together... ...we're halfway there... ...and it's done! This is definitely the longest piece of bunting I've ever made, there's so much of it! You can see how it looks in Diagon Alley below, almost like a small canopy over the street.… Continue reading Hogwarts Bunting
Project Roundup
The Hogwarts bunting is going well, I'm 6 flags per house away from finishing all the flags. Then I just have to crochet them all together in one very, very long string of bunting. Sarah's been knitting a new scarf out of some yarn ends she's had hanging around for a while, and the eventual… Continue reading Project Roundup
Bubbles
Back before I went to the beach, I started making this little narwhal, to finish while I was up there. I hadn't thought of a good name until just as I'm writing this, when Bubbles popped into my head and kinda stuck. The timing for making Bubbles was very deliberate, as you can see! Bubbles… Continue reading Bubbles
Project Roundup
I have quite a few projects in progress at the moment, actually. First is a new badge design, which went very quickly from an idea to being made! I'm trying a new stitch with it, too, so we'll see how that goes. I'm confident it'll turn out well. I'm also making a few small furniture… Continue reading Project Roundup
