It's a nippy evening up in the Yorkshire Dales! This is one of my treats from @Yarndale - I visited the lovely people on the @scheepjes stand and kitted out this mandala in Stone Washed 🖤🤍

This is such a cool design; it's brioche crochet which uses overlay, but only one colour per round. The pattern changes the look with every round too, so it's one of those that keeps you up late to add 'just one more round' 😁

The pattern is the Graphite Mandala by the amazing @lillabjorncrochet 🤍🖤

My Dustland sweater is closing in on a finish, but there is a but. I'm 2.5 stone lighter than when I cast it on, so it's a tad big 🙄 I'm far too close to a finish though, so let's keep going and see how it looks. I will definitely have to make a small one!

Pattern: Dustland sweater by @westknits
Yarn: Special Aran in Storm Blue by @stylecraftyarns

It's here! My @westknits MKAL kit all the way from Amsterdam 😍 I've gone for the Weathered Autumn kit from Life in the Long Grass and look at these beautiful shades! I cannot wait to cast on! Roll on October 🤎🧡

We are all out of Oil Of Boil so next in the mix is Cast A Spell On You 💜 These yarns are from @gamercrafting and they bring everything! I've ordered another skein from the Halloween collection to finish this off, but I'll share that when it arrives.
The pattern is the Pogona shawl by @westknits and is such a perfect pattern for showing off hand dyed yarn 😍 It's also not just big, but MASSIVE! Cannot wait to wrap myself up in this!
Let's see if @instagram will actually show this off or do it's usual boring thing of burying it under videos 🙄

The Halloween shawl is growing! I love the shape that it's taking and it will soon be time to add in that amazing purple! These yarns are from the fabulous @gamercrafting and in the Halloween range (hence my name for this - so original, no?)
The shawl pattern is @westknits Pogona and comes in two sizes; a single skein and a huge shlanket with three skeins. Obviously I'm going all in, because who doesn't want to wrap themselves up in neon bright colours? I'm attempting to have this finished for Yarndale in a few weeks, so wish me luck!

I shared this the other day over on Twitter but forgot to share here too! I'm still working all too slowly on my Spice Market by @theguywiththehook and I'm currently about halfway done. This is the Rosewater and Cinnamon colourway in my favourite @scheepjes Sugar Rush thread 🧡 London feels like it should be somewhere very tropical with this heat, but at least cotton thread is cool enough to work with! I do hope you are all staying safe in this heat and carrying plenty of water with you!

I was asked by the very talented Sarah over at @asyetyarns (go check out her beautiful yarns!) #widn so here we are! I'm adding a few more rounds to my Henry's Voyage blanket 💙🌊
I'm using @scheepjes Catona and a 3mm hook and I just love how it's working up!
Would @erika.and.crow and @hannahscrochetmakes like to play? No pressure of course!

Here's some progress on my other holiday project 😄 This is my sock kit from @germandercc using Hanna's fab sock pattern. I'm so excited to get to the heel as she has a very different construction lined up to the one I am used to! This one is also perfect for beginners, so have a look!

Holiday flat lay 😜💚 Here's the first set of tiles for the beautiful Azul pattern by @tinnahekl 💚 I'm making the medium size but in my favourite @scheepjes Sugar Rush thread 🌊 Love how dinky they are coming out!

I'm almost done with the Thursday Murder Club too and it's such an easy read - no spoilers! Crochet, books and crisps, what more do you need to relax? 😌
