And Then There Were Two…
You know I enjoyed the sewing workshop last week, when I made the zipped pouch with Jo Paloma Makes at Amanda’s Fabrics? Well, I enjoyed it so much I made another! There will be more… Are these boxy little bags something you’d like to see on my stand at yarn shows? I’ve also finished, blockedContinue reading “And Then There Were Two…”
Productive
There are lots of things coming up that I can’t tell you about just yet (but I will soon, I promise!), so I thought I would share this week’s progress with my various projects. Yesterday I managed to pick the blackcurrants – I got 7.5 lbs of fruit off our one bush, which shows thatContinue reading “Productive”
Sunshine After the Rain

OneContinue reading “Reader, I frogged it.”
Time Flies

That means that I will be adding the patterns to my usual platforms (my website, Payhip, Ravelry and Lovecrafts) on Friday 31st March. RiverKnits are still selling kits (yarn and printed pattern)Continue reading “Time Flies”
New Tricks
Last night’s workshop of Beginner’s Crochet was great fun. There were a couple of people there who had done some crochet years ago and some who had never even held a hook before. By the end of our two hours they had all crocheted at least two rounds and were feeling more confident with treblesContinue reading “New Tricks”
