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
This weekend we had some Christmas markets by the Broadwater. It wasn’t that hot outside so you could walk around without getting overheated! I had some Christmas coloured yarn left over from another project so I whipped up some hearts. I had some different Continue reading Heart Bombing The Christmas Markets

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.

It’s super hot in Australia right now so some days it’s really hard to work on blankets with heavy wool.

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
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
