Slow crochet! There isn't enough time for more
It's a strange thing, but each time, recently, that I've decided to offer some old stock at a reduced price health problems have reared their ugly heads and there has had to be a delay. I won't go into details, but here is a little video, not to explain the situation, but to show you… Continue reading Limping back …. with a podcast
Remember my last post? I mentioned that I don't often 'do' pastels! This was greeted with much hilarity by one close friend who pointed to a pile of throws and blankets in similar colours to the above! I was forced into defence - and here it is for you too. The above squares are for… Continue reading Pastels? Hmm…

It took a while, but was great fun to make. It's still in use, but if temperatures rise to 20+ as predicted it hopefully won't be needed… Continue reading Untitled, and why not?

A very satisfying stashbusting exercise. I've started to put together some large thread collections of my hand dyed threads. They will be particularly useful if… Continue reading Corner turned
My first stash blanket of the year is coming along nicely. I'm also managing to incorporate some longer scraps as you can see from these joins.
