Ramblings, bits and bobs

February 25, 2016February 25, 2016 itsmekatielou1 Comment

Like most crocheters, I have amassed quite a significant amount of yarn in varying colours and weights.  Whilst this is a good thing in one respect, it is no good for my bank balance, or the already limited storage space I have in my house.  I am far too easily swayed by pretty yarn colours… Continue reading Ramblings, bits and bobs

I’m a bit of a giver upper…

I’m a Gemini, so by my very nature (if you believe in that sort of thing) I am a fickle person.  In most other areas of my life this is quite true.  I start doing something, get completely engrossed in it, then just as quickly find a passion for something else.  The only thing that… Continue reading I’m a bit of a giver upper…

What an achievement!

I started working on the mermaid tail on Saturday 30th January and have worked on it almost every day since. I stupidly forgot to photograph my progress during the first few days, but started documenting it on Thursday 4th February after I had completed 50 rows: It builds up really quickly and is really soft,… Continue reading The ongoing tale of the tail

A Couple of Cup Cosies

Technically, its not a couple, it’s 3 which I believe would be classed as ‘a few’, but that didn’t sound as good.  Anyway, let’s not get into semantics…….. I really wanted to take a little break from the mermaid tail.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m enjoying it, but the repetitiveness was getting to me slightly… Continue reading A Couple of Cup Cosies

First things first: Michelle, if you are reading this before I have given you the finished article, I suggest you navigate away from the page immediately! Right, now that is out of the way I can let you in to what I’m doing. Before I developed an interest in crochet, I saw a picture doing… Continue reading A different kind of blanket….
