Don't you just LOVE this cute owl bag?

I designed it for Make It Today magazine which is in the shops now!

In my Improvers class, SC made this lovely fox wrap which is a design from a recent Inside Crochet magazine

www.insidecrochet.co.uk www.insidecrochet.co.uk




We also started to learn  how to make a 4 colour Granny Square


Once again (as I have used her site for this pattern before) I have started another blanket & also taught this technique in class & this was thanks to Smooth Fox Lover



One of my former pupils asked me to ccrochet a few forget me nots for Demetia Awareness week.  I decided to get all of my class ladies making them, so I supplied the blue & yellow yarn & look what happened!

These flowers will be sold to raise funds for this great cause.



One of my pupils is following a pattern by Rowan Yarn & making this amazing felted place mat with a crochet edge.  The amazing thing is that she is using wool that she has spun into skeins that comes from her own Alpaca herd!!


And now for another new technique that I am currently teaching - Reversable Crochet


If you turn it over it's perfectly the same on both sides!!

On May 2nd I went to the Slipped Stitch in Sherborne to help out with Yarn Shop Day


I took mini Crochet Workshops


And I even had a 9 year old boy come in with his stash of Crochet projects to show me which were all fantastic.


And now for some Tunisian Crochet which my left handed pupil is making in  class at Sparrow UK Shaftesbury.


Another lady in the class is making a Chevron Scarf


And another made a blue & yellow spiral effect mat which matched the Forget Me Nots perfectly!


That's all for now followers. I thank  you for following my blog & I hope you have enjoyed the read and have taken some inspiration from it.

Happy Hooking
