I was so excited to be asked to publish a pattern as part of the National Crochet Month blog tour (facebook link) – if you’d like to see more then please check it out, it’s running for the whole month of March, organised by the lovely folks over at Crochetville. As part of the blog…
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 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…
I’m a lucky girl – this week I got to kick my heels up at two different birthday celebrations. Two cards and two presents were needed, so I had fun rustling up these gifts. (You can find the pattern for my water lily here and for my shells and lace crochet jar cover here) I…
It’s been really exciting to see a lot of new followers to this blog recently. If you’ve only just signed up then you might have missed these fun bracelet projects. I’ve decided to go through my old posts and make pdf printables for the crochet patterns (something I only started doing quite recently). Since it’s…
Update 14th November 2013: Thank you to everyone who supported this project. I have donated the full amount you paid for this pattern to the Royal British Legion. The pattern is still available, if anyone wishes to purchase it, but I will not be making donations from any purchases between now and next October (when I…
I recently came across lobster stitch cord in the free ebook Priscilla’s Crochet. I hadn’t heard of it before, so I thought I’d give it a try since it is always good to learn a new stitch, and cords can come in pretty useful for bag handles etc. I must admit that the directions were…
I’m lucky enough to be going away for a week, which means I will not be posting next week. You may be hearing about my holiday next time I post! In the meantime here is a quick post about some bracelets I have been busy with this week. As you may be aware I am…
Win your choice of one of these five bracelets! I have been having lots of fun this last week or so making some more items for my shop. As you may know it was one of my New Year’s resolutions to sell a few more items through my online shop, and I guess this starts…
I had a really good response to this post on some shamballa bracelets I made. So I thought I would do a how to post to show how they are made. If you like this bracelet, you can win it now in my current giveaway! Also keep an eye out for similar items in my shop…
I don’t know about you, but I really love Indian henna art. I’ve never had it done because of how long it lasts. The other day it just occurred to me that I could crochet a bracelet with a similar effect – and this way it is non-permanent and I can put it back on…
I love projects which use things I already have. This is a cool way of using up those left over bits of wool when you have finished a larger project. I saw a necklace that used this construction method (which is knitted rather than crocheted) and wondered if I could make something similar using crochet.…
Update: Find how to make these bracelets here! I realise I haven’t posted anything new for a few days. It’s not because I’ve been slacking, it’s just because I have started on two projects, both of which are going to take a bit longer to complete due to the size or lack of all the…
I’ve been asked how to plait this bracelet (pattern here) once it has been finished with the strands all straight. This is a lot easier to explain using pictures, so here’s how I did it: You can repeat this process to make more plaits but you will need to alternate this method with the mirror…
I saw a bracelet similar to this and wondered if I could make my own pattern for one. Well it took a couple of attempts but overall it came out ok, and you can find the pattern here if you want to make your own. I think this will be going in my gift box…
