I warned you that they were bright, didn’t I?
I’ve decided that my bedroom needs uplifting… and this ought to do the trick, don’t you think???

Master Eight loves his skull beanie, too…
but he’s equally as uncooperative as his brother when it comes to having a photo taken!
Here’s an idea of how it looks:
It’s actually black, with a light green contrast for the skulls… but you can’t really tell that from the photos. They look almost white!
Still love the pattern. It’s [...]
Free Range Knitter by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee.
I’ve been wanting to take a look at one of Stephanie’s books for a while now… and I’ve finally managed to sit down and have a bit of a read.
It took me a while to get into it, but I think that might be more of a reflection on my [...]
Little Miss Five has just turned Six.
And to celebrate, I made her this adorable butterfly – in her favourite colour – PURPLE.
The pattern was written by Jacqui Delaney, who is one of the girls from my craft group. I’ve been keen to try it out for a while now. It’s called Flutterbye and is available [...]
Master Ten loves his skull beanie…

The idea was to take three or more items from your junk drawer, and create something new with them…
I didn’t think that I was going to have time to play along, but then I managed to put this little bug together while chatting on the phone the other day.
Multi-tasking… it’s the [...]
Already finished a beanie from Lisa’s new crochet booklet…
Supposed to be worked on a 5.0mm hook – but I couldn’t find one, so I just got stuck into it with a 4.0mm… my tension tends to be loose anyway, so it’s turned out just fine.
This one is for my brother… so the colours are fairly [...]
Look what arrived in the mail for me this week…
Two new booklets from my friend, designer Lisa Gentry!
Both are titled Celebrity Slouchy Beanies, and feature a variety of popular beanie patterns for the whole family.
One booklet contains knit beanies, and the other one is crochet.
I’ve been flipping through both of them, and trying to decide [...]

square requires a 4.5mm hook and approx 50g of 8 ply yarn (DK)

I’ve had some enquiries about the ‘With A Little Help From My Friends’ scarf pattern…
It’s hardly a pattern really… but here’s how I made it:
Start by collecting a bunch of scraps. Word your crafty friends up so that they can collect scraps for you too. That’s how my scarf came together – my friends saved [...]
