I’ve decided to start early with my Christmas crafts this year. My local craft store was having 40% off storewide so I took advantage of this and grabbed a few supplies. Making the wreath is fairly easy but took a lot longer than I thought. All up this took about 8 hours. I had some variegated Christmas yarn from last year’s sales that I’ve been hanging onto. I simply made a rectangle of single crochets. I made it slightly smaller than the wreath so it would pull tight. I just slip stitched the ends together to make a loop and slip stitched around the wreath shape. It was nice a tight by the time I made my way around the entire shape.

With summer on its way it is getting too hot to work on large blankets, then I remembered Dream Catchers! I had made a few a while back and remembered how fun and fairly simple they were. I found some rattan hoops at the local craft store and Continue reading Dreamcatcher – Blue/Green→
It’s done! It’s an amazing feeling to see something completed after dying the wool and crocheting it into something. This blanket was an experiment to see how the spiral pattern would look using multicoloured yarn. Some people on Instagram Continue reading Finished: Spiral Blanket 1→
Finally finished this awesome blanket. I started way too many other projects and this one got missed for a while. The yarn used is Stylecraft and the colour recipe is here. The pattern is super easy and can be worked on while watching tv as it repeats Continue reading Finished: Retro Rainbow v stitch→

The pattern is worked up with 4 separate balls of yarn and basically crocheting over the top of the previous round. Continue reading In Progress: Spiral Blankets x 2→
A couple of weeks ago i travelled to Sydney for the NRL grand final. Naturally I brought my yarn and hook with me! We visited a lot of the touristy spots as well as some of our old favourites. The weather was super hot considering we usually wear jean and jumpers in October, but it was 36 degrees!! Over the weekend we drove up to The Entrance on the Central Coast. I managed to find a shop that has a heap of crochet magazines! We don’t have anything like this where I live to I stocked up! We drove Continue reading Travel: Sydney Weekend→
Living in a tropical location is awesome, but one of the downsides is the lack of yarn shops. We have two craft stores but not much in terms of specialty shops. I was in Sydney over the weekend for the NRL grand final and came across Morris and Sons. It’s right in the Continue reading Yarn Shop Love: Morris and Sons→
