Lots to show you - Weeks 42 to 44


I have been teaching lots of classes / workshops over the last few weeks, plus I have lots of commissions to work on for books & magazines too!

 Here are  some of the photo's that I took along the way, either of my pupils work or even some of my own crochet!

I have been a busy bee with a hook!

Here's DM crocheting my blanket from the fantastic DK Crochet book


And this is a cute lion that BP made, in fact that's a very cute lion!


From my Shaftesbury Class, L made this lovely tissue box cover


And this is a neckerchief that I made from my cotton tape bought at the London Knit & Stitch Show.  I liked it so much that I made....


...a second one with the other skein that I bought!


Back to class now & KPK wanted to learn a new stitch called star stitch


So we both added star stitch to our multi stripe blankets!


SC has made a cat basket using Boobles T-Shirt Yarn - again this is a pattern from the DK crochet book.


And at the end of my 4 week beginners class ET made her first Granny Square


I got this lovely DMC Natura & Petra in the post this week.


It's for a commission so I can't tell you what I am making with it - sorry

Now take a look at this amazing blanket - do you remember the Coach Trip to the London Knit & Stitch?  Well, these are just SOME of the squares joined together by the marvelous AR who volunteered.  This blanket will be going to Julia's House a local charity, so that they can raffle it or auction it off to raise funds.


This is just one of two blankets.  I simply love the colourway chosen.  Well done AR.

And here she is again - now a blanket junkie!


Considering she nearly threw her hook out of the window when she first started to try this pattern - didn't she do well????? YAY amazing.

Here is the lovely B with her scarf made in shell stitch with wool bought from the London Knit & Stitch.


Oh! Another postal treat - my new book.


Yesterday (Saturday 1st November) I took a Christmas Crochet Decorations Workshop


We had fairy lights, tinsel yarn, the music of the season & mince pies!

Here is one of my students showing off her Halloween costume - a Ninja Turtle, which she made in one night! 


And here are some of the baubles


We all made


I love them all


Beautifully worked!


We also made Stars, Christmas Trees, Christmas Wreaths & more!
