The Lydia Lace Crochet Cowl

For as long as I can remember, I have loved lace. When I was much younger, I was always fascinated by lace materials and I did my fair share of hand sewing with them. It’s no wonder then that I love lace stitches and I’m always tempted to incorporate…

The Hopeful Slouchy Beanie was created with the beginner knitter in mind. In fact…

Crochet Pattern: Baby Belle Blanket

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…

The Cross Beanie Pattern

Happy Easter friends! We’re enjoying a lovely long weekend here in the UK with Good Friday and Easter Monday being public holidays. Definitely a very much welcomed break.

Thought I’ll share a free pattern that I  created and wrote almost two years ago during Easter – The Cross Beanie. For me…

One Ball Wonder: Cosy Reversible Knit Cowl

Hey lovelies!

Autumn (Fall) is slowly creeping up on us (seriously guys, where has all the time gone!) and I can only think about cosy knits…lots and lots of cosy knits. I’ve been working on some designs lately and I can’t wait to share them with you guys.

I did it!!! I finished knitting a pair of socks, my friends! Every time I attempted it in the past, I only ever knitted one sock and never finished the second for the pair to be complete. But here I am, Lord knows how many years later…one pair of socks ✅✅✅.

What did I do differently? I used the minimum yarn weight I enjoy working with - DK weight! In the past, I used fingering weight yarn, which I never really enjoy working with. 

I’m mega chuffed 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽. Are you proud of me?? Hehee!! 

Now on to the next one with yarn purchased from @tyddynbryn. I bought enough to make a pair for myself and the hubstar 🧦 🧦.

Embracing my inner thrower-knitter as I tackle circular needles shorter than 40cm (16”). For some reason, continental knitting just doesn’t feel as cozy with these short cables, but hey, no complaints from this yarnie 🧶🧶! It’s got me wondering though, why the switch-up? 

Fellow continental knitters, how do you navigate the challenge of shorter cable needles? 

Share your tips and tricks in👇🏽!
