Hi everyone! I've been a bit quiet on here this we

Hi everyone! I've been a bit quiet on here this week, as work has been taking up far too much of my time 😜 However, I did buy yarn and beads, a new pattern and start another project. I know, I know, not like me at all! This is the beginning of Boho Beaded Pocket Scarf by tlcrochet and I'm using Stylecraft Aran in Mocha and I have these dark wooden beads for the pockets. The finished scarf is like half a blanket and has loads of chunky texture so perfect for this return of winter we seem to be having ❄️

My achy arm doesn't want to move much, so I'm sock

My achy arm doesn't want to move much, so I'm sock knitting 😁 I've had the Pfizer jabs and other than the usual achy arm, I'm just a bit tired, so no major side effects 💙 I've finished the final chart for the leg and started on the heel flap of my first Draig-dân sock and I was thankful I had enough little markers to show each repeat. These ones are fab as they are perfect for 2.5mm needles and are really thin so keep out the way - I've ordered more in different colours now too. (Thanks Emma for that amazingly quick dispatch! 😘)
The pattern is by @stitchydragon
Yarn is Little Bird Sock by @lottieknits in Spruce and Spring
Stitch markers are by @atomicknitting
Just in case anyone is wanting to treat themselves to anything 💚💜 Right, I need a nap! 😴

I've been adding a few more lengths to my Pandemic

I've been adding a few more lengths to my Pandemic today and there's a little addition in the bottom left corner - I had my second vaccine today and have a badge to prove it 😄 💙 I'm so happy to have been lucky enough to get both out of the way. It feels like a mini step towards some form of normality again. My arm is a bit achy so I think these smaller projects will be better for the next few days! I hope everyone is keeping well and you get to have your jabs soon too if you haven't already 💜

Hi everyone! I hope you have all had a good week and are looking forward to the weekend! It's been quite busy here, but I have added a few more rounds to my Continuum blanket 😍 There was a lot of bead stitches again, but then we had some relaxing simple stitches. The next couple of rounds look like they will add some lovely texture, but might require a bit of concentration 😜

I've just finished the first assignment for my geo

I've just finished the first assignment for my geometric art class 🤓 We are starting out slowly, learning how to equally divide up a circle and balance a design and this was so much fun! Drawing with ink was less fun and there are a few blotches where the compass got away from me 😂 Now I can divide into 3 and 6, it's time to investigate 4 and 8 segments. You'd have thought that would be easier, no? I think I'm about to have a slap of maths, aren't I? 😜

Ok so this is a bit of a tangent, but I fell down

Ok so this is a bit of a tangent, but I fell down a rather deep rabbit hole the other day after seeing Sue over at @byhookandstix posting her beautiful paintings (go see!) Sue has been following along with some tutorials and I was so tempted to join in, but then so many other art tutorials popped up. As a kid, I loved maths, and so when I saw geometric art tutorials, I just had to try 💙 I'm not sure how this will turn out, but it will be a fun little side hustle 😂 I've actually signed up for an online course, so I'll share my progress, good or bad 😉

Shall we have a sock update? I've finished the sec

Shall we have a sock update? I've finished the second chart of my Draig-dân sock using Lottie's beautiful Little Bird Sock yarn in Spruce and Spring 💙 The pattern is wonderfully charted and is really teaching me to knit from a chart, rather than a written pattern. I feel like I'm cracking a code 😂 The yarn is absolutely beautiful too - it's soft and smooth and I want this sock on my foot 😍 This project was definitely a good decision!
The pattern is by @stitchydragon and yarn by @lottieknits so if you want to cast on a pair, have a click through 💜

I was too excited not to cast on another pair of socks 😁 This is the beginning of @stitchydragon pattern, Draig-dân and I'm using these beautiful skeins from @lottieknits called Spring and Spruce 😍 This is my first attempt at stranded knitting and also my first attempt at knitting from a chart. It feels so nice to be learning something new and I love both the pattern and the yarn 💙

Brace yourselves, we have a finish! A real life, bona fide finish! 🎉 I just love the colours of these socks; purples and teals, what could be better 😍 The yarn is a beautifully soft Cascade Heritage Print, it really is a gorgeous yarn and if you haven't tried it, it's well worth a look and under a tenner too. The pattern is by @winwickmum and it's so easy to follow. I think this is my third pair now! I'll have to cast on another pair of socks so my project bag doesn't stay empty 😂 Happy Friday everyone! 💜💙
