Hello! I’m guessing you probably thought that I have fallen off the face of the earth, but I have not! I’m alive and well, but just lost my knitting mojo for a while. In fact, the pattern I am about to introduce was first cast on almost two years ago, finished many months ago and has just been waiting for …

Well here we are at the end of the Twisted Roots MAL, and I can hardly believe it. It’s been so much fun chatting with everyone and seeing you making my scarf! I’ll be honest, in the last year or so my knitting mojo has taken quite a hit and I’ve really not done a lot of knitting at all …

Hi everyone! Well, here we are already in Week Three of the Twisted Roots MAL and I have been enjoying watching everyone’s progress so much. We have reached that stage where most have been helped through any difficult bits getting started and are now off knitting away while I wait eagerly for updates!  🤣 Before I dig in to share …

  Hoorah, we have a winner for the Twisted Roots MAL Giveaway!!  🥳 Today I gathered up all the comments on my Facebook and Instagram and used a random name picker to choose 10 from each post. I then put those 20 names back in the generator and Kimberly Hernandez was our lucky winner! She will be receiving three balls …

Happy New Year and welcome to the start of the Twisted Roots MAL! I still can’t believe that it’s 2021 already, I feel like I am in a bizarre time warp where time moves too slowly and too quickly all at the same time! It’s not just me, right? Anyway, I’m so happy to be sharing this project with you …

I’m doing a little happy dance now that I finally share the Twisted Roots MAL with you! I’ve been looking forward to this for quite a while now and I think it’s a great way for us all to kick off the new year! When Scheepjes asked if I’d be interested in having a MAL for this project, I was …

My dear crochet friends, I love you all, but seriously… we need to talk. There’s something I’ve been wanting to write about for a while, but I haven’t been sure how to approach it. I don’t want to offend or upset anyone, and I don’t want anyone to think this is specifically pointed at them. This is a collective issue …

I’m so happy to finally show you my Sliding Tiles Blanket. Yes, it has a name! I put a call out to my Scheepjes Bloggers to help me think of a name, and after some discussion, Simy Somer mentioned that it reminded her of one of those sliding tile puzzles we used to do back in the day, remember those?! Maybe some …

Today Scheepjes released issue #9 of their YARN Bookazine: NOW Age, which is, as always, full of some really great knit and crochet patterns! Here is what Scheepjes has to say about this issue… “Take your time to savour this issue, undisturbed. Create a mindful moment for yourself. Those of us who craft know the value of knitting and crochet, …

A little while ago I discussed WIP-itis and a blanket I’ve been working on since pretty much before the wheel was invented. Since then I’ve been busy trying to get it finished and thought I’d give a bit more info, since I was super vague in my last post. This design has been going on for such a long time, I actually …
