So! After some hard work yesterday, I’ve finally completed the second week of the Scheepjes Hygge CAL 2017. Last week, “everybody’s bobbling….”. This week involved some surface crochet slip-stitches and a lot of cross-stitch. I found the cross-stitch a little challenging at first, its pretty hard to follow a pattern when the “holes” aren’t that […]
Hello, its been a while since I’ve blogged. I’ve been very busy with other things and I’ve also been suffering a bit with pain in my wrist (eek, too much crochet?!) so I’ve been taking it a bit easy the last week or so, giving my wrist time to heal a bit. I’ve not been […]
I’m using the magic loop for a few of the designs that I’m thinking of at the moment so I thought I’d put up a tutorial for how I do it. This is a crochet tutorial, for a technique used to start crocheting “in the round”, for example when making a mandala or some amigurumi. […]
Earlier, I posted about accidentally buying yarn too gorgeous to use. I’ve done it again…these Scheepjes Maxi BonBon yarns are gorgeous too don’t you think? This time, I actually have a project in mind though…
…these turn up and you are so excited by how cute they look and how beautiful the colours are that you don’t really want to use them….
This is macaroni cheese, made slightly spicy with the addition of cayenne pepper and paprika and slightly skinny with the additional of tinned tomatoes (that’s where the tomatoey bit comes in too!)
Now…this should really be under the site “Jo and Jen Create” as it was created many many years ago (we think about 10) by me and Jen when we were living together in Coventry. It is called “Mess in a Pan” because that’s what it looks like…a mess…in a pan.
My Cosy Stripe blanket journey continues….See Part 1 here Attic24’s Cosy Stripe Blanket – My way! (Part 1)
I live with a whole host of knitamals….more keep coming to live with us each time I see a new friend that would like to be made! More are coming…beware!
Another project that I have on the go at the moment is the Joy’s Journey blanket designed by Dedri over at “Look what I Made”.
I’ve really been loving this cosy stripe blanket pattern published by Lucy at Attic24 (you can find it here! Cosy Stripe Blanket). She has a fab tutorial on her website and in-keeping with her encouragement, I decided to create in “colours that make my heart sing”….this is what I did to create my own […]
