This pattern can be found on Ravelry: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mimosa-shawl—mimosa-huivi I had been given a lovely Sheepjes Whirl for Christmas from my mother-in-law, and spent a while searching for something that I thought would have some resemblance to a sunflower when finished, given the colours in the Whirl. Also, we had sunflowers on Dad’s coffin, so we …

This was a long project!! Started June 2021, but only finished January 2022!! I really like it, but it hasn’t been a favourite make. It wasn’t something that was easy to remember, so constantly needed the pattern, but weirdly I got a bit bored with it. I honestly did NOT like the half square triangles …

I have been thinking about doing a post box topper for quite a while, before someone started doing them in Lymm, and very disappointingly had 2 stolen!

16/03/21-05/05/21 This is a pattern I purchased from Ravelry, called Autumn Harvest: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/autumn-harvest-8 I specifically wanted to make a blanket for my Dad that was less flowery than all the others I have made. I picked lots of shades of blue, his favourite colour, with cream for the contrast. This was specifically to keep him …

I am really not sure how this came about. A silly conversation about what I may have done / made if I had crocheted when the kids were little perhaps? Anyway, however we came about to be talking about In The Night Garden, when my 15 year old son said he would like a Makka …

Following on from the first post about this dress: https://kariscraft.space/index.php/2021/02/24/crochet-dress/ I didn’t take many more progress pictures. I kept trying the dress on to increase to the right size and length having measured how much the last few rows of the colourwork would be. I distinctly remembered thinking that my stitch count needed to be …

This brioche crochet jumper by Tatsiana Kupryianchyk of Lilla Bjorn Crochet kept appearing in my Facebook feed on various crochet pages, but it was only when I saw this dress variation by Lisa Khoo I decided I had to make it! Original pattern can be purchased via Ravelry – https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/alma-sweater I decided to use the …

I am not sure what possessed me to make this… I think it was the fact that kids couldn’t do trick or treating this year, and this would last longer outside the house than a pumpkin!! It got soaking wet and very heavy hung outside! And we never get many trick or treaters anyway! I …

Another CAL from The Guy with the hook, who also published Spice Market: This CAL began in October with parts released each Sunday, to finish for Halloween / All Souls / Day of the Dead. I picked bright colours in Stylecraft Special DK – lots to choose from – I love these – different to …

Like many people I started doing more gardening during lockdown. At the start no-one knew what was going to happen, so I wanted to grow some veg. And as we were going to be spending much more time at home, tidy the garden and make it prettier. We did get lots of mange tout, a …
