Sheepjes Whirl Baby Blanket

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 …

Elephant Snuggly

I have made a few of these now. The granny square bit is quick and easy. This one was for my niece’s baby, Tod, who was born at the end of August.

Finishing Spice Market

I actually finished this before lockdown. The pattern was great to follow and I love the colours.

Spice Market by The Guy with the Hook

I bought the wool for this before finishing the last Carousel! It is intended for Scheepjes yarn, but I have been disappointed with their yarn in the past, with the number of joins, so I went with similar colours in Stylecraft Special DK which I do like a lot! Wool from Black Sheep Wools as …

Carousel mark II

Finally finished the second one of these. I love the colours, but get a bit bored with the repetitive nature of the crochet itself. Just trebles and counting!! At least it is crocheted together as you go along, so there isn’t lots of sewing / crocheting together at the end. This time, however, I did …

Another Carousel

My husband had really liked this blanket, in fact he had chosen it as the next one to do, and then I gave it away, so I had to make another. I have gone more random with the colours this time (from part three), and not followed the order in the pattern, although I have …

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 …
