30 Days of Lists. Far Flung Bee 2012. January 17, 2013. Since then I’ve made tons of granny squares, a couple of scarves, and even a doily rug! But one of my favourite projects so far was this little teddy that I made for Mr Cheese before we’d moved in together. It was my very first amigurumi – you can tell because it’s actually inside out! Did you know amigurumi had a right side and a wrong side? I clearly didn’t! I followed this great tutorial. Over at All About Ami. It’s true, you can! That should be ...

30 Days of Lists. Far Flung Bee 2012. July 7, 2012. Those of you who know me well or who’ve read this blog for a while will know that I am not very co-ordinated when it comes to the fiber arts. It took me a long time and many tries to get the hang of crochet – and that only uses one stick! I’ve knit in the past before and it was pretty much a frustrating disaster, so until now my dealings with knitting have pretty much been the type where I re-pin lovely patterns on Pinterest and sigh wistfully. Really, ...

Craft and sewing supplies are pretty expensive down here in Australia compared to our lucky American cousins, so consequently I’m pretty thrifty (read: stingy!

30 Days of Lists. Far Flung Bee 2012. Page 1 of 2. September 20, 2013. Is it possible to love something even before it’s completely finished? Because I am totally smitten with my quilt-as-you-go cross stitch pouch and so far it’s not even sewn together! This one is M4 – Stepping Stones and as much as I’d love to do a whole quilt of these blocks, there’s 45 pieces in each individual block! But still. Even though it was fiddly and complicated and took forever and came out wonky, I love it. So I just realis...

30 Days of Lists. Far Flung Bee 2012. September 18, 2013. So I just realised that I never showed my half of the Down Under Doll Quilt Swap (#3) that I sent out to my partner, and this swap was nearly a whole ago! Sheesh guys, talk about slacking! This quilt was made very much at the last minute my own fault really, I thought the mail-out date was a month later than what it actually was! So there was a few long nights work in this one, especially because I decided that of course it needed. It’s a li...

Crochet | Two Cheese Please
http://twocheeseplease.com/category/crochet-2
30 Days of Lists. Far Flung Bee 2012. May 26, 2012. My crochet journey had a rough start, but I’ve come a long way since that first mutant granny square, and I’ve had my heart set on hooking a Claudia Scarf. For a long time now. My red-loving, scarf-wearing friend’s 30th birthday was the perfect excuse to get out the hooks – and it helped that the temperature has dropped to arctic levels down here so crochet is the perfect winter couch craft! I had a couple of sample sachets of soak wash. I hope your vis...

30 Days of Lists. Far Flung Bee 2012. December 28, 2012. After the success and enjoyment of Bunny. I knew I wanted to revisit and dabble some more in recycled softies. Little Miss Monkey was made for Christmas, for the granddaughter of one of a family friend. The brief read: squishy, cuddly, friendly, with limbs just right for grabbing on. Hopefully I nailed that! She has a little headband with a hand-crocheted flower – and a matching one for little Z to wear too! My name is Holly and I live in Australia...

30 Days of Lists. Far Flung Bee 2012. January 23, 2013. I have a feeling that 2013 might be the year of the soft toy! I finished Monkey just in time for Christmas (I know that’s technically last year, but really. it still feels like Christmas was just sometime earlier this month! And then just last weekend was the first birthday of a very special little boy, so of course any excuse will do to make another softie! It was about a size -6! Please feel free to add me!
