This week was spent making another birds’ nest. I’m using a different pattern to the first batch, as I’m testing this pattern for a how-to-crochet class I’m helping to teach. This yarn is absolutely gorgeous, I love the mottled pink and purple. Though it does make it hard to see your stitches in the first…… Continue reading Birds Nests – pt 3

Occamy Pattern
Do you remember the crocheted Occamy I made back in 2017? I shared a pattern I’d written up for it, and I’ve spent today working on transferring it to a separate page that is now on the sidebar, for ease of access. Go and check it out (if you wish)! It’s just underneath the ‘About’…… Continue reading Occamy Pattern
Nesting Nests
Since the last time I posted about these, I’ve made three more nests to make a, er, nesting set of nests for the Australian bushfire recovery effort. This blue one is the most recent one. This orange one is the largest, and if there weren’t animals that needed it, it could be used as a…… Continue reading Nesting Nests
Birds’ Nests
In Australia at the moment, there are a lot of very bad bushfires, and to assist with the rehabilitation, wildlife centres are asking for donations of crocheted birds’ nests, like the ones below. They’ll hold baby animals (not just birds!) that have been rescued from the fires and make them feel comfortable while they’re being…… Continue reading Birds’ Nests
Marvel-ous Bag Tag
I'm pretty sure you've seen this before, I originally made it as a badge before I finessed my technique. However, you definitely haven't seen the other side! The old Captain America shield badge has been turned into a bag tag, with this Winter Soldier circle on the other side. And the loop on the top.… Continue reading Marvel-ous Bag Tag
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!
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
The Return of the Blogger
Hello again! I'm back from hiatus, with a completed crochet wreath to show you all. I actually started this prior to the hiatus, and only had one or two more flowers to make before it was finished. I was finally able to make the last flowers this weekend. I scavenged the flower patterns from a… Continue reading The Return of the Blogger
Watch the Spikes
These little succulents may just be the smallest things I've ever crocheted. The two on the outside are your classic, spiky, flowering cacti, and the centre one is a succulent. Isn't the little flower bud just adorable? All the pots were made and painted for these plants. The succulent was meant to look like the… Continue reading Watch the Spikes
