It feels like there’s loads happening behind the camera at the moment! Some of those things are gifts, so they need to stay secret, but in the meantime, I’ve been dyeing more socks for myself. These were completed last weekend, and I’m happy with the different colour combinations I did this time. The brown is…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Mint Choc Chip Mockup
I have mocked up a new pattern for a button-up shirt – it’s the V&A Customisable Shirt, and it is completely free! I’ve had this pattern on my to-make list for two years now, so this mockup is very exciting. The pattern has a plethora of options for customising the shirt (especially for a free…… Continue reading Mint Choc Chip Mockup
Leaf Sprout Cable Ties
In-between the bigger projects, I’ve been crocheting these leaf sprout cable ties. I’m using this pattern from a blog called Once Upon a Cheerio, and they are very quick to make. I have two on my headphones, to keep all the wires involved neat, tidy, and contained. (They also add to the “botanical crochet” theme…… Continue reading Leaf Sprout Cable Ties
Tea and Coffee Mark the Spot
Sometimes, if you settle down to read with a hot, caffeinated drink, you want a thematically appropriate bookmark. Enter these felt bookmarks I made recently! Insipration came from an Instagram reel my friend sent to me, and I used an old project from my archive of craft magazines for the mug templates. The blue cup…… Continue reading Tea and Coffee Mark the Spot
Seasonally Late
I’ve made myself a new winter dress, just in time for spring! (Or autumn, for you northern hemisphere friends.) It is a pattern hack of Rosery Apparel’s Daisy dress – I raised the neckline and added long sleeves. I think this is my third Daisy dress – it’s a really nice pattern! Rosery Apparel makes…… Continue reading Seasonally Late
Project Roundup
I like to do any mending for summer clothes in winter, when I have a spare moment, so they are prepared for the next hot season. Thus, this leafy shirt I made at the start of this year has some little holes developing under the underarms. Can you see it? There is a patch on…… Continue reading Project Roundup
Last Minute Winter Warmers
I thought I should sneak these gloves into the posting schedule before winter (according to the calendar) ends! I made them over the course of the last few weeks because my hands get very cold in the mornings. The pattern came from Pip magazine, which is an Australian permaculture magazine. This is issue 32, and…… Continue reading Last Minute Winter Warmers
Frivolity with Jellyfish
You ever just want to make something quick and easy and entirely frivolous? Stitch markers from Handmade by Catkin on Etsy Well, that was the aim with this little jellyfish. I used the Galaxy Jellyfish pattern by SweetSofties on Etsy, which was a pretty easy pattern. I think mine is a lot longer than the…… Continue reading Frivolity with Jellyfish
Birthday Threads
Hazel’s birthday was on Friday, so I thought such an occasion deserved some new clothes. I thought this was quite a wintery fabric, so I decided to make the shirt long-sleeved. It does also have buttons embroidered down the front, only they are black, so they are quire hard to see. As you can see,…… Continue reading Birthday Threads
Project Roundup
August already, huh? I’m running out of cold weather for all the winter projects I want to do! I’ve been doing quite a bit of knitting recently, making a bunch of these rectangles. All is planned to be revealed soon…. (but feel free to guess what they might be!) (Side note: I purchased these stitch…… Continue reading Project Roundup
