This one jumped out at me when watching one of Black Sheep Wools’ update videos by Sara. It was a great one to take away on holiday. A repeating Sea Shell pattern with a single cake of Sheepjes Whirl, again in rainbow colours for my niece’s rainbow baby. I thought I had taken more photos …

Charlotte’s Dream Baby Blanket
This is another one from the ‘Look what I made’ site (where I found the Block a Week CAL 2014), designed by Dedri Uys. I thought it would be nice to make a smaller version – just 4 squares to make a baby blanket. I used some Stylecraft batik DK that I had bought in …

Lockdown crochet project
I ordered a selection of Stylecraft Special DK from Black Sheep Wools when we first went into lockdown. I think I had intended doing the Persian Tiles blanket, but a stumbled across ‘A Block a Week CAL’ from 2014 which had, as it says, a block a week – so much less repetition than some …

Grinda Shawl
The need for this came about because of the Air Cadets Annual Dining In. Some fabric to make an evening dress was on my shopping list when I had my ‘fabric day’! I had found a pattern, but didn’t quite find the perfect fabric, although I found some that I could try it out with! …

Crochet flower cardigan and another rainbow!
I stumbled across this pattern somehow and thought it would look good in a rainbow! I actually used the Sheepjes wool for this. I did the pattern for a 3 year old. It came out really quite big, but that’s not a bad thing. After this one I made another cardigan for my granddaughter, and …
