I love making stuff, mostly knitting and crochet. How rock n’ roll is THAT?
Here’s the newest addition to the crochet family. I decided to crochet James a cup of tea so he’d never be without a cuppa again. I improved the design, although the tea bag was inspired by a cup and saucer I saw crochet on Ravelry. You can quite see in this pic, but there’s a [...]
Sunday is a day for church, naps and crochet – so far I haven’t taken a nap, but the rest of my Sunday plan is going well! Eliza (goddess of all things wool and knitting related) usually lets me raid her yarn stash when I head back to Chicago. There’s always some bits and bobs [...]

In my usually over-excitement, I started this blanket when [...]
Mo from Grinny Grandad asked me to crochet some spare teeth for him (teeth are his logo) and this is what I came up with… It’s my first improvising design that I just made up as I went along. I tried to make a note of the pattern on the CrochetMe website if anyone fancies [...]
I am so incredibly pleased to report that one of the owls that I happily housed has joined a band!!

(Imagine my surprise when the little fellows captured the attention of everyone that saw them! [...]
