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
Couch Cushions
Tiffany’s been sewing…. ….and crocheting all week…. ….to finish these two couch cushions! The crochet cushion has two different sides, because I couldn’t decide between two different colour combinations. I’ve had the idea for a bow tie cushion for a while now, and I’m really happy with it! The cushions could have been a little…… Continue reading Couch Cushions
Spring Jumper
I know I said summer clothes and all, but the urge to try a crochet jumper before the season passed was too strong! I’m not thrilled with the shoulders, but I do like the lower neckline. I also love the texture in the moss stitch and rib stitch. And Petra loves the colour! Would I…… Continue reading Spring Jumper
Guinevere
I needed a fun project recently, and I received a book that had this little dragon pattern in, so meet Guinevere! I put wire in her wings in an attempt to make them less floppy, but I’m not sure it did much! I might need to block them…. I’d probably do her eyes again, or…… Continue reading Guinevere
Project Roundup
The cabinetry in Needle & Thread is done! This one on the right will be filled with fat quarters…. ….and this one will be filled with yarn. I have a plan for filling this with yarn, but I’m still working out how to do the fat quarters. I’ve also been crocheting a new amigurumi pattern,…… Continue reading Project Roundup
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
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
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
The First of Many
Petra has a new jumper! The first of many, I’m sure. I adjusted the pattern a little to make it fit better, and Petra and I are both very happy with the results! As a result of the adjustments, the sleeves are longer and the body piece is slimmer, which makes the neck less gapey.…… Continue reading The First of Many
