My grandparents are coming up on their 60th wedding Anniversary in a few months’ time and I have been thinking about making them some “his and hers” diamond themed scarves as a gift (since we can’t afford to give them actual diamonds)! I came across this diamond infinity scarf, and I think it could work…
I mentioned in one of my recent posts that there is a reason for my lack of posts in October. I have been working on making items for my new shop on etsy. It is called Bunty’s Cottage and you can check it out here. I have also set up another blog to go with…
I like a quick project to make me feel productive. I often find that in between big projects I want to keep busy but I don’t always want a challenging pattern. Making hats (particularly child-sized ones) is pretty quick and also useful for when I need a baby gift. The girl hats are based on…
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 like the round petal flower I usually make a lot but I wanted to make a flower which had pointy petals to reflect the picot edging of the scarf I recently made so that they went together. Here’s what to do if you want to make one the same. I used a 3mm crochet…
Sometimes when I flick through a pattern book a certain one just seems to say “make me”. Well this shawl pattern from Cute and Easy Crochet jumped out at both me and my mum so I knew I would have to make one for her at some point! I picked up this linen-mix yarn in the…
I used a 4mm hook, leftover Sirdar calico Dk cotton yarn, and eight 10mm beads. See my inspiration for this piece here! The pattern is worked as fsc to make the sides and then turned 90° to sc the V-shaped placket which holds the beads. The length of the placket is about 9cm (3.5 inches).…
Sometimes I don’t have quite the right “focal point” for a card I want to make. Recently I have been using my crocheting skills to make cards like these which are 3D, but also post friendly as they can get squashed through the Royal Mail’s 5mm slot without being damaged. I did the tree for…
Triple Layer Petals Flower Pattern I use these flowers all the time to decorate bags, cards, hats, and make brooches. It’s actually an extension of this double layer petal flower pattern, which can be made into a square for blankets etc. Personally I think an odd number of petals looks nicer, so I have modified…
When I was rooting around looking for jars to refill the other day (see my Teacup Candles post) I discovered I had saved a few more than I had wax to fill. I had recently been given a whole bag of old lace curtains so wondered if there was a crafty way to make these…
I inherited these teacups from a great aunt a few years ago. I love teacups but of course using mugs is much more convenient (plus, it gives you a chance to warm your hands up by wrapping them around the mug- which just isn’t done when drinking out of a teacup)! So, what to do…
I saw this blue metallic wool in Hobbycraft and couldn’t resist buying a ball. One ball of wool isn’t really enough to make much but I saw an idea for an easy purse and scaled it up to make a clutch bag. This was quite a good project for me as making the lining gave me a…
