Hello! It’s finally stopped snowing here so normality has resumed. We always seem totally unprepared for snow down in the south and even though the snow thawed two days ago I have yet to find a loaf of bread on the shelves of the supermarket (although strangely we have hot crossed buns!). 

Anyway, now that the children are back at school I can tell you all about my new crochet socks. Yes socks! Buoyed on from the success of the Simmerdei socks I am now the proud owner of TWO pairs of handmade socks…

Hello. February is finally here and I am over the moon about it. I’ve tried to make friends with January, I really have, but I feel it’s an on-going process so I’ll keep trying and for now just be thankful to be that bit closer to Spring.

Anyway, I have been busy crocheting and designing so I thought I’d share a few things I have made over the past month with you today…

Hello! I uploaded episode 7 of my crochet podcast last week but I thought I would stop in and blog about the projects I’ve been making over the past couple of weeks…

Hello! I hope you have all been enjoying the holidays. I thought I’d pop in today to share some photos I took on one of our winter walks…

Hello! I am back today with another pattern release…Ohhh I’m so excited to finally release the pattern for my Diamonds and Bobbles crochet Jumper…

Hello! I uploaded episode 6 of my crochet podcast earlier in the week in which I showed some lovely sparkle thread I bought from LoveKnitting. It has inspired lots of festive Christmas crochet. I came up with these little crochet snowflake coasters and thought I would share the pattern here.

Hello! Just popping in today to share this very simple V-stitch crochet cowl and wrist warmers pattern.  I designed this pattern around three years ago now when it was featured in my Inside Crochet Column – doesn’t time fly! 

Hello! I am back today with a pattern release…I had totally forgot how much work goes into these pattern pdfs and have spent the last two days sat at my computer trying to make every thing look pretty. The pattern I’m releasing today is my Light Between Oceans inspired Courtship Shawl…

Hello! Episode 5 of the Lululoves vlog/podcast is now live on my YouTube channel. I’m still really enjoying filming fortnightly vlogs of what I’ve been making but I thought I’d share the projects here too…

Hello! We’re getting to that time of year again…you know the one where you feel like you’re forever chasing your tail and all you really want to do is eat mince pies and watch Christmas movies in front of the fire! I totally forgot to put up show notes from my last podcast but since I only really spoke about my own work I don’t feel too bad. I did promise to take some photos of my newly finished Diamonds and Bobbles jumper and I finally managed yesterday evening just as the light was disappearing...
