It’s official.
There are just far too many fun groups on Ravelry to join…
The latest one which has come to my attention is the Fabric Knitting and Crochet group. A whole group made up of people who love crafting from rags? I’m in! And if it appeals to you… you should join up too…
For february, they [...]
Been incredibly busy lately, with all sorts of NON-CRAFT activities… so I don’t have much to share with you today.
So instead, I will share a few links…
Quite a number of you have been asking for details of the blogs which I follow. The truth is, I don’t spend much time on other blogs… otherwise I’d [...]
I’m excited to tell you all about the neapolitan ice cream project… but that will have to wait until tomorrow. Because right now I want to tell you all about the wonderful day I had yesterday.
It was always going to be a fabulous day. Once a fortnight I meet up with some fellow crochet addicts. [...]
There’s something very neapolitan ice cream about these colours… don’t you think?
strawberry… vanilla… chocolate…
yum!
I’m often on the look out for interesting and practical ways to store my craft supplies… and knitting needles are always a bit of a challenge. So I was delighted to discover this piece at the local ‘op shop’… tagged at $1.50

Naturally, mine has more than two tones in it…
As always, it is made entirely from [...]
Well, I still don’t have any progress to show on the haekelbeutel bag…
I’m just not ‘in the zone’ with it at the moment. I’ve tried about 75 million different alternatives for the handles, but nothing pleases me. My experimenting has included twisted cords, wooden beads, macrame belts, crochet I cords, scarves, denim straps… I’ve even [...]
Have to say that I am DELIGHTED with the way that the haekelbeutel bag has felted. The food dyed yarn did not run during the felting process, and the cream joining yarn felted equally as well as the squares. Actually, I love the way the joins are looking.
And, of course it shrank… it’s now only [...]
Thank you so much to everyone who has sent messages of concern, thoughts, prayers and hugs…
We are safe… about 50km from the fires… and under NO immediate threat…
If you have five minutes to spare… you might like to take a look at the video below (just click on the image) to see what is happening [...]
Lisa Gentry has a pattern for a crochet necklace… called Cleopatra’s Necklace. If you’re a member over at Ravelry, you might be interested in the Lisa’s Designs group. They run a competition each month, offering a free pattern for you to make up… and the person whose piece is voted the best, receives a prize [...]
