International Crochet Day // 12 September 2013

Posted on by

Hook Hook Hooray … today is International Crochet Day !  An event I only heard about by accident yesterday over on Instagram.  

There’s not a lot of information about this auspicious day on the interwebs, mainly for events held last year.  But I think it’s a worthy cause for celebration.  Lots of thoughts of how this day could (and should) be celebrated next year.  Stay tuned for more.  

In the meantime – a pic of just some of the blankets I’ve made.  They make me happy 🙂  

Have a wonderful hooky day my friends xx

My first pattern

Posted on by

After years of faffing about, overflowing sketchbooks full of design ideas, a cupboard full of prototypes, and many mutterings of  ‘one day’ I’ve finally done it.  I’ve published my first pattern and here it is …. ta daaa!

I’ve named it Kallora – which is a bit of a mash up of  the words kaleidoscope/colour/aura.  I actually have migraine aura’s that look very similar to this.  Whilst very vibrant and pretty they are a pain and I would prefer not to have my very own disco in my head.  But if they are good for one thing then they’ve inspired this pattern.

You can find it on Ravelry and Etsy
