This pattern was recently featured in an article in Let's Knit magazine.  You can read all about it here... For those of you that have been waiting for this pattern (I had a number of requests for a knitted version of my Splashtime Washcloths) here it is.  This pattern is aimed at beginner knitters and would make a great first project.  If you need to learn the basic knit stitch I recommend watching some videos on Youtube, there are many to choose from.

Craft Fair Idea #2 Pocket Tissues So here we are with my second instalment of my craft fair ideas.  These pocket tissue cosy's are super cute and so easy to make.  The pattern for these cosy's is one of the first patterns I ever wrote on my blog and you can find it here... Pocket Tissue Cosy For these cosy's I used Drops Paris with a 5mm (H) hook, which is an aran weight yarn and comes in lots of lovely bright colours.  I followed the  pattern  but left out the edging and button loops.   I finished them off by adding cute buttons and some labels.  I made the labels in Canva which is a free design software but you can do something similar in Word.  I cut them out and glued them onto  designer paper to make the belly bands. Hopefully these will be a popular item.  Everyone needs tissues right? and the buttons make them just too cute... I hope you enjoyed this pattern, please be sure to let me know if you try these. See you again s

Hello everyone.  How are you all getting on with your temperature blankets?  Mine is coming along nicely and as Winter is now over (hopefully) I thought I would post an update and a few pictures.  If this is your first time to my blog you can find the free pattern linked below and don't think it's too late to join in, you can start a temperature blanket at any time if year. 2019 Temperature Blanket Free Pattern My temperature blanket started off as just a concept and some yarn pegs to help me choose my pallet... The beginning of the year was cold but never reached the kind of temperatures we had last year so some of my colours have not been used. There is nothing better thank a cup of tea and a little crochet in the mornings, I try to do my row each morning when I wake up. Spring seems to have come early this year as temperatures have been unusually high.  Who would've thought we could have t-shirt weather in February. Looking
