Hello, friends! With the weather still rather cold in my part of the world, all I can think about is all types of cosiness. I shared the pattern for this two-tone crochet cowl in an Instagram reel in 2022 and I’ve been meaning to share it on the blog, so I’m pleased that I can…
Hey there hey, my friends!
I come bearing a pattern that should have been released nearly three years ago!! I know, I know, that’s a long time. This one’s been a rather strange one for some reason because I have designed and released other patterns since this one was designed….
Hey hey hey you guys! Boy have I got an uber easy beanie pattern for you! One word: totally fun! Okay, that’s two words but I am really stoked about how much fun this pattern is!
The Hopeful Slouchy Beanie was created with the beginner knitter in mind. In fact…
I have yet to meet a crafter who has never been in a crafting funk. It’s definitely frightening when the urge to do your favourite craft(s), which you likely do everyday, just disappears. Sometimes, it’s gradual. Other times, it’s pretty sudden. Whichever way it happens, there’s always an awful…
I love it when a knitted garment has waist shaping. Not every garment requires waist shaping, of course, but they’re definitely a necessity if you want that trimmer look.
The traditional method of waist shaping involves working decreases and increases at the side of the garment. Although it’s quite possibly…
Happy Easter, friends! Hope you’re keeping safe wherever you are. It feels weird to celebrate Easter on lockdown but this is what is absolutely necessary at this time to combat this terrible pandemic that has swept over much of the nations of the world.
The virus cannot, however, take away…
Happy New Year my lovelies! Hope you had some lovely time off over Christmas and hope 2020 has started off well for you. How is it already 2020?
To kick off the new year, Iβm participating in Desamour Designsβ Selfish Crochet Blog Hop running from January 1st to 31st! A…
Hey lovelies! How have you been? I haven’t blogged in a little while and what perfect timing to do so ‘cos I have some exciting news to share! Yaay!
In June this year, I had the opportunity to exhibit at The Wool Monty Show as a featured designer. It was…
Hey lovelies,
It’s been a minute since I posted on the blog but there’s been so much going on behind the scenes – most notably the launch (finally!) of my online shop. Baby blankets are my absolute faves to crochet. I designed the baby belle blanket while I was pregnant…
Hereβs your sign to let loose and combine the best of both worldsβcrafting something beautiful, dancing like no oneβs watching, and making it all a masterpiece. Donβt mind if I do! ππππ½ππ½.

Can you help me with this poll? Thanking you in advance ππ½.
So, I designed this beaut of a yoke sweater in 2020 but never released the pattern. One main reason is because itβs a bottom up yoke sweater and Iβm very much aware that most knitters prefer top down yoke sweaters. My plan has been to rework the pattern, so itβs a top down but I would love to get your thoughts.
Would you knit this as a top down or bottom up yoke sweater?
I always think cosy when I think about this shawl! The Oyinkan Asymmetric Shawl is a full bodied shawl created with consistent stripes of garter stitches complimented with stunning lace panels. Stylish and perfect for keeping the brrr in check ππ. Swipe for cosy pics ππ½ππ½.
Sample was knitted with Malabrigo Rios by @malabrigoyarn.
Comment βOYINKANβ and Iβll DM you the link to the pattern.

Sometimes, creativity looks a lot like starting over. So yes, frogging is optional, but so is keeping your sanity! Choose wisely, my friends ππππ½ππ½.

A new crochet project on my hook. Not 100% sure where weβll end up, all I know is that itβll be a 3/4 sleeve top.
For now, Iβm just basking in being able to enjoy crafting again π§Ά. Anhedonia may have had me in chokehold but Iβm taking things one day at a time, one step at a time ππ½ππ½. #perimenopause #perimenopausesymptoms.
