As I mentioned in my last Project Roundup, I’ve started crocheting a cushion cover. These are the yarns I’m using…. ….and these are the first 8 squares! What a colourful stack! I’ve started making the next 8 squares, as you can see. As of typing this, I’ve finished two more squares, so I’ve made 11…… Continue reading Beginnings

I have a few different things on the go at the moment; first is the cash register for The Palace Library, which is long overdue! Remember this jumper I made for Petra? Well, it’s now in six skeins and bundles of yarn, because I want to knit it instead – and adjust the jumper pattern…… Continue reading Project Roundup

I have a few old/didn’t-work-out-right doll clothes that I was trying to recycle this week, but they’re not agreeing with me, so I may have to do some more thinking. As always, there are books-in-progress on my desk…. ….and I impulsively started crocheting myself a rainbow beanie for winter. I have no idea how I…… 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

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
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

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

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
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

I’ve been meaning to replace the hood on Sarah’s 13th Doctor coat for a while, as it was originally made with too-small scraps, and I finally got round to it. This new one sits much better over the shoulders, and it fits over her head! The obligatory recreating-the-promo-pics….. picture. I’m also making another birds’ nest…… Continue reading Project Roundup
