Ah yes, the perfect summer project for a day that’s 35C is…. a pair of winter socks. In all seriousness, I do really like them! And I’m very happy I got around to them this year. They look a little bit different to the pink ones because I worked into the correct stitch, which I…… Continue reading Not Summer Socks

New Year, New Socks
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
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
Project Roundup
I’ve made three large pots for Tea at Yaz’s, seen here with the smaller pot for scale, so now they’re all ready for Petra to plant some plants in. I also finished adjusting her grey pants! I made the legs slimmer, put on a new waistband and made the elastic inside tighter to stop them…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Hanging Baskets
The Tea at Yaz’s courtyard is just beginning to bloom. with these hanging baskets! There are two types of plant here, the two (fictional!) dragontail plants and a crepe myrtle. They have lots of buds on them, and a few early flowers. I attached them to the walls by pushing two thin pieces of wire…… Continue reading Hanging Baskets
Re-Made Jumper
In order to re-knit a jumper, sometimes you’ve got to completely unravel two of the sides (the front and back are the bundles of yarn just under this text). Then you’ve got to sew it together…. ….and you’re good to go! I’m very happy with the neckline, because I usually cast off really tightly. This…… Continue reading Re-Made Jumper
Project Roundup
These little boxes have been in the works for so long now, I’m so close to finishing them! I was randomly struck with the motivation to crochet something, so I made an autumn garland, which has been on my list for a few years now! I used Attic24’s beech leaf pattern for the leaves, and I…… Continue reading Project Roundup
