You guys! It’s almost finished! I began this hexagon rug almost as soon as we moved back to our farmhouse last July, and throughout the winter and spring, I knocked out a couple of hexagons whenever I had the chance. Last year I entered a striped afghan blanket in the local show and the year…

Another Crochet Blanket
So it turns out that trying to finish a crochet woollen blanket in the middle of a January heat wave and while moving house is not ideal. Who knew?? Ideal or not, the blanket I have been working on for the last 6 months is finally finished, and I must say I’m pretty happy with it….
A Crochet Star Garland
I’ve been busy crocheting again. After my globetrotter blanket, I wanted something a little smaller to work on in my spare moments. I had pinned some crochet stars on Pinterest, so thought I would have a go at making some into a star garland. For me, half the fun of crochet is fiddling around to work out…
A Crochet Globetrotter Blanket
I’ve finally finished the crochet blanket that I have been working on for the last few months. I’ve been sharing updates on Instagram from time to time, and a few weeks back I decided that I would enter it into the local show (which is on this weekend).

My First Crochet Slippers
Well I did it! I crocheted something besides a ripple blanket. I had been wanting to have a go at making some slipper for a while, and I finally got around to doing it a few weekends back. Don’t look too closely because they are far from perfect, but they are not bad at a…
My First Crochet Ripple Blanket
Well I am pretty chuffed with myself this week. I finished my first ever crochet project, and it wasn’t nearly as hard as I thought it would be. A project like this ripple blanket is the perfect way to start, because the pattern just keeps repeating the whole way up the blanket. Once I got started,…
How To Start Learning To Crochet
I’ve taken up crochet recently… like just a few weeks ago. It’s something I’ve wanted to try for ages, but once the weather turned cold this year, I finally got myself organised to start. So when I was in town I picked up a crochet hook and a couple of balls of wool. It turns…
