This is my first proper make using Tunisian crochet. It’s really a stitch sampler cowl because I wanted to try out lots of stitches, but was a bit fed up with swatches so I just experimented on a slightly larger scale hoping to make something wearable! I was intrigued to try Tunisian in the round…
If you’ve been following me on Instagram or Facebook you’ll have spotted me working with this amazing hand dyed yarn. Of course it is one of those skeins that I fell in love with and had to buy even though I didn’t *technically* need more yarn. I do love colour and so variegated yarns are…
I’m so pleased to have this pattern ready to share with you at last! I’m continuing the theme of ocean inspired shawls (click through for Atlantic Lace and Pacific Rim shawls) and, as I began this one while on a plane to Morocco I have called it Mediterranean Lace. I know that I have been…

I’m really excited about this design and so I hope you like it as much as I do! I had a bit of a delay in getting it to you, having run out of yarn for the fringing with only 2” to go… It’s worth the wait though, as this shawl is so lovely and…
This cowl was one of my husband’s Christmas gifts so I have been waiting to share it for a while. When I was making the plaid cowl for my brother I fell a bit in love with this yarn. Not a surprise because I am a fan of chainette construction yarns. (Read more about…
Is it too late to wish you all a Happy New Year? I hope not! Somehow time seems to have gotten away from me more than usual recently. This post was actually intended as a pre-Christmas bonus post, but I guess it’s better late than never! On that subject – I do hope you all…
I have been wearing this Linen Stitch Cowl and Linen Stitch Gloves set a lot so far this winter. It seems to go with a lot of things in my wardrobe and is snuggly and comfy to wear. I’ve been getting annoyed when the weather is too warm to wear them! I really loved the…
I’m glad to be back in blog land after a few weeks away on holiday – more on this later! I’ve seen a few plaid or tartan effect blankets done using this technique and I really like the effect. This is a great way to try it out and make a great guy gift at…
I had quite a bit of left over yarn from making my Linen Stitch Cowl so it clearly was meant to be a matching set! These fingerless gloves are made in the round starting with the arm and increasing over the hand before splitting for the thumb and finger holes. You can adjust the pattern…
I have had these two yarns in my stash for a while. I wanted to use them together but have spent a while thinking it through because the red and white/cream colour combination can look very Christmassy. Although I love Christmas, I wanted whatever I made to be wearable the rest of the year! I…
Ah baby toes. They are just the cutest, so why cover them up? A good friend of mine recently had a gorgeous baby girl and has been dropping hints for some crochet baby sandals for a while. So I thought I’d experiment with these to make something a little less traditional and in super…
I’m interrupting my series on How to Design Crochet Patterns to bring you my latest project. Don’t worry though, I’ll be continuing this next time, I just thought it was time for a new crochet pattern! Following working on my Atlantic Lace Shawl I thought it would be fun to work on some more ocean…
I’m continuing to update my archive of patterns with pdf downloadables. This time around I’ve focussed on my heart containing patterns – just in time for Valentine’s day! One of the best things about all of these projects is that they are great for stash-busting those scraps you just don’t want to waste – and…
