How have I nearly forgotten about the pair of jeans I made? And even the cords before that for Milly. This pattern was picked because Milly likes ‘Mom jeans’. Although what the shops sell as mom jeans are not what I would wear! I find the shape most unflattering!! These weren’t quite right either – …

Spirit of the orchid wrap
Design by Tatsiana Kupryianchyk @ LillaBjornCrochet.com I had seen these kits at Black Sheep Wools previously, and even when in the sale hadn’t bought it, thinking “I’m not really a wrap type person”. However my addiction to crochet beat that.. I can’t remember why I was at Black Sheep AGAIN (I probably had an idea …

Tractor shirts 2019
Doesn’t everyone buy fabric on holiday? We had got the bus from Looe to Polperro this time (we normally go the other way), and were walking back along the coast path. I hadn’t expected a fabric shop in Polperro!!! But obviously had to go in. Hubby saw some tractor fabric he liked, so 4m were …

Carousel blanket
Started mid November, finished end of Jan 2019. My husband picked this one, out of a selection of blanket patterns I liked. He liked the vibrant colours. I liked the look of this, but it wasn’t the most fun to do, as it was a bit TOO repetitive. However, it looked great when finished. First …

Cosmic blanket
With Demelza finished on 28th July 2018, this was me on the 29th!!! This one is also Stylecraft DK, some standard, and some batik elements (which cost a little bit more per ball, but still great value). I had come across the Cosmic blanket on one of the Facebook crochet groups I follow, and I …
