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
Headband Pattern
This pattern is one I’ve had for a while. I made it up a few years ago, then didn’t use it until this summer, when I made these two headbands and decided to write it down! I’ve published the pattern in the sidebar, or you can go straight to it here. Maybe you need a…… Continue reading Headband Pattern
Birds Nests – pt 3
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
