Yay! Finally finished my first ever crochet jumper 😊 The pattern is the Cozy Cropped Sweater by @hooked.on.homemade in @scheepjes Luca. It's so chunky and warm and really didn't take too long to make. I also got to learn the suzette stitch which makes it look fancy but is actually pretty simple to do! I did modify the pattern slightly by adding some ribbing around the neckline, but I love crocheting ribbing so I'll add it wherever I can! 😁
Also I don't know why my fingers look so long in this photo?! #handmodel #et 🖖

I wonder what all these colourful balls of wool will end up becoming? 🤔 So many possibilities for crafting in 2020! 🌈🧶

Hoping you've all had a restful boxing day! Now I'm back home from work, I'm going to take my own advice - time for pyjamas and left over tiny foods!

My favourite handmade Christmas decoration is this wreath that I made a few years ago! It's a polystyrene ring, covered with variegated green yarn, that I knitted into a loopy strip. Then there's the fairy lights and sparkly baubles! I look forward to putting it up each year 😊 Do you have a favourite handmade decoration?

I'm starting to feel a bit Christmassy! 🎄
One of the things I like doing at Christmas is going to the garden centres and looking at all their decoration displays! Trouble is, I just end up thinking 'I could make that!' and the crafting list gets even longer 😁 I couldn't make this super sparkly tinsel though!

Finally got a pumpkin! Now I just have to decide what to carve into it? I'm thinking scary cat 🙀 For some reason carved pumpkins remind me of watching the Most Haunted - Halloween Live specials when I was a teenager! 👻

Spent today at work, outside, making nature crafts! Wild weaving on a loom made from twigs and nature necklaces made from oak leaves 🍂🍁
And then it started raining! 🙄🌧️

This is my most ambitious crochet project so far - the Aran Hearts Throw by @bonniebarker7290 using @redheartyarns Soft in Rose Blush! I made it for my mum's birthday and just managed to get it finished in time. I loved this pattern as I learned so many new techniques and just when you get bored of one stitch, you get to start on a new one. It's a free pattern but Bonnie has also made a series of YouTube videos walking through every step of making this throw. I couldn't have done it without these videos, so thank you so much Bonnie!

Spotted these tiles in a fireplace at @muncastercastle on my summer holiday. I love the wonky owls! And decorated tiles are great to copy and practise illustration. I think they're William de Morgan designs but don't quote me on that!

❤️ the pattern on this rug. I'm trying to work out if it could be made into a crochet pattern. I've read a few patterns using mosaic crochet? Maybe that would work 🤔

I spent my Saturday making a birthday card with the help of my @officialcricut_uk Cricut Maker machine. It can cut out these tiny shapes in the time it would take me to find my scissors!

On Friday I went to see the @british_ceramics_biennial exhibition at the former Spode factory site in Stoke. There were so many interesting exhibits and artists. One of my favourites was Victoria Lindo who has made these highly illustrated and narrative pieces talking about the death of her father.

A little peek of some blue baby alpaca yarn that I recently bought after walking an alpaca! Did you know that unlike sheep wool, you can't be allergic to alpaca wool? That's my #alpaca fact of the day for you! 🦙🧶 #craftblogclub #cbcsummerofcraft #blue #yarn #yarnlove #alpacawool #babyalpaca #crochetinspiration #crochetaddicted #crochet #wallpapers #colourlove #color #colour
