Pattern: Tough Stuff Socks – From Bad to Worsted
https://frombadtoworsted.wordpress.com/2016/08/09/pattern-tough-stuff-socks
From Bad to Worsted. Knitting, crochet, and some other stuff. Pattern: Tough Stuff Socks. August 9, 2016. August 9, 2016. I recently bought The Sock Knitter’s Handbook. By Charlene Schurch and Beth Parrott. It’s probably one of the most useful knitting books I’ve ever bought, honestly. It’s full of all kinds of advice and techniques for knitting socks from the cuff. 1 skein of worsted weight yarn (I used Lion Brand Heartland in Glacier Bay). CO – cast on. St – stitch. K – knit. P – purl. Sl – slip. Row 1...

Crochet in my childhood…the Dutch influence! – Coastal Crochet
https://coastalcrochet.com/2015/07/21/crochet-in-my-childhood-the-dutch-influence
For all things crochet inspired by coastal living…. Crochet in my childhood…the Dutch influence! July 21, 2015. August 30, 2015. Eleonora from Coastal Crochet. Since starting this blog and commencing the International Diploma in Crochet. I have been thinking about and doing crochet more than ever before (it’s great! 😊) Conversations about crochet have also increased amongst family and friends. I grew up with ‘gehaakte gordijntjes’. They still have them today but when I moved out I took some of the curta...

Lily’s Lilypad Fireplace Blanket. – Zeens and Roger
https://zeensandroger.wordpress.com/2015/10/14/lilys-lilypad-fireplace-blanket
Lily’s Lilypad Fireplace Blanket. October 14, 2015. January 27, 2017. At last I have finished! It has been an age. I got the wool in July, which to me seems like a loooong time ago. The first post I mentioned it in. Reminds me not to just click on auto edit when sorting out the photos because, crikey, those pictures need toning down. Hope I’ve improved since then. The next picture doesn’t count, it was taken indoors on a rainy day. I used the Lily pad square from Pasta and Patchwork. I’m properly p...

Take Care Mohair. A Review!! – Zeens and Roger
https://zeensandroger.wordpress.com/2016/10/14/take-care-mohair-a-review
Take Care Mohair. A Review! October 14, 2016. January 27, 2017. Last week I got a message from Wool and The Gang. Asking if I’d like to have a go at playing with their new yarn, Take Care Mohair. In return for free wool they asked if I’d be interested in writing a review. Would I also like to host an Instagram Giveaway! More on that in a minute). It’d be rude to refuse, wouldn’t it? Today I’m here to report my findings! I decided that I really wanted to come up with something of my own. Seeing as we&...

The Autumn Vintage Collection: Out Now! December 14, 2016. December 14, 2016. I’ve done it! All finished. Woot! I’m so pleased with it. Truly, I love this cosy set. It’s taken a while because I’ve been busy with other things too. The more I do this sort of thing, the quicker I’m surely going to get. And it’s technically still autumn too, so it didn’t take six months afterall! Please pop over to Ravelry. You’ll need this code: xmastreat. No silly faces like my last blog post. I took loads of pictures of i...

Speedy Crochet Bracelet. A Free Pattern. – Zeens and Roger
https://zeensandroger.wordpress.com/2016/12/21/speedy-crochet-bracelet-a-free-pattern
Speedy Crochet Bracelet. A Free Pattern. December 21, 2016. December 21, 2016. I was working out the design for my recent crochet wrist warmers pattern. Playing with different methods and whatnot, when this one popped up. It’s basically front post and back post stitches, which ended up being too bulky for the mitts but still had something I liked. It is such an easy crochet pattern, it only takes fifteen/twenty minutes from start to finish. With a 4.5mm hook. In Row 2 I work under the bumps of the founda...

Scraping the Barrel (not really, it’s a fabulous crafty update). December 8, 2016. Christmas is getting super close now and I’m not ready. So many ideas have not yet come to fruition. I’m probably being too ambitious in my crafty endeavours but there’s so much I want to make! If anyone else is in a panic about handmade gifts then this crochet hat is really speedy to whip up and looks great too. It’s the Ski Lodge Hat by Mama in a Stitch. Showed a picture on Instagram. Finally, today I posted off my two r...

Behind the scenes at Shirley Rainbow and other creative adventures. Shirley Rainbow Shop and Stockists. Mostly orange and mustard. I’ve been busy making stuff though, trying to play around creatively, and also trying to learn a few new dressmaking skills. I have started trying to make clothes with jersey and knits, so I can make full use of my overlocker. I made this sweatshirt out of the gorgeous orange space dyed jersey I bought at the Handmade Fair from the Eternal Maker. I’ve nearly made a dres...

Hooking Shawls and Knitting Kitties | Moji-Moji Design
https://mojimojidesign.com/2015/08/09/hooking-shawls-and-knitting-kitties
Original Amigurumi Crochet Patterns. Hooking Shawls and Knitting Kitties. August 9, 2015. My lovely shawl, started in a sunny field at a festival last weekend. The label indicates a 4 mm hook but I’m using a 5 mm instead to give the shawl lots of drape. We are having another run of beautiful weather here so I made the most of things this weekend and spent a big chunk of Saturday afternoon in the garden, gainfully employed cracking on with shawl number 2. By Sue Stratford. So off I went to pull the bo...

Colourful Crochet Cushions | bernadettesvintagerose
https://bernadettesvintagerose.wordpress.com/2015/07/15/colourful-crochet-cushions
Sewing, crochet, hand painting and lots more……. Creative Crochet →. July 15, 2015. I just love the way these cushions turned out, they are so bright and colourful. As I was saying recently I was doing a bit of clearing out. Whilst cleaning out my dresser I came across my bowl of yarn scraps. It got me thinking, what could I use them for? To begin with, I just crocheted little circles. Do you like my little basket? Here they are all lined up ready for joining. This entry was posted in crochet. Hi, hope yo...
