Yarn Glorious Yarn is a small independent yarn store located at Taringa in Brisbane. This store is just over an hours drive away but totally worth it. It’s just down the road from the gorgeous Mt Cootha Lookout which captures a great view of the entire Brisbane area. The store is small but very bright and full of gorgeous yarns, books, and accessories. While I was there a group of crafters were all sitting around knitting, crocheting, and talking, I wish this place was closer!
Another blanket done! This time that yarn is not something I would usually choose, but after finishing this I really love the effect. I used my trusty 5mm hook and my forever-favourite Ice Yarn to make this. I’ve had some extra time over the christmas break so have been taking advantage of this and making a heap of blankets for my market stall. Continue reading Finished: Bright Baby Blanket→
I found this amazing yarn at my local craft store. It’s white with metallic silver thread running throughout it, so unique and perfect for a baby blanket. I find the corner to corner pattern easy, quick, and very suitable for a blanket intended for a baby. This yarn was
I’ve just finished this lovely pink and purple baby blanket! The yarn is from Ice Yarns and in a style called Dancing Baby and is 100% acrylic and soft. I love how bright the colours are and how they crochet up. This pattern is corner to corner which gives the great diagonal line effect across the blanket. To finish I did a different border than Continue reading Finished: Pink Baby Blanket→

I’d decided to make some blankets to sell at the local craft markets. There isn’t many people selling crochet items here, probably because it’s somewhat tropical. However, the baby blankets i’ve made as gifts have been well received, so I thought I’d give it a go! Continue reading Finished: Baby Blanket→
It’s super hot in Australia right now so some days it’s really hard to work on blankets with heavy wool. I came up with an idea to make a whole bunch of doilies out of cotton and eventually sell them at the markets. These work up quickly and easily and the colours are bright and fun. I’m going to continue working on these and will hopefully have a whole bunch in a couple of months.
I picked up this yarn at the local craft store and instantly loved how soft it was. It’s an acrylic/nylon blend and feel like a cloud. I could only get 4 balls of this yarn so decided to make a baby blanket. The pattern I used was corner to corner. This allows me to control how much yarn i use as you work it up in diagonal lines.

I was commissioned to make this beautiful dreamcatcher to hang over a cute baby girl’s bed. The theme was pink and gold to match her room. Finding the metallic gold thread turned out to be the hardest part and spent a few days trying to locate some without Continue reading Dreamcatcher – Pink/Gold→
