Super Textured Pot Scrubber

what's happening over here?

Well, I finished another romper, a larger size, and in an oatmeal colour with a pink flower. Now I am just looking for a baby model! Or really I am looking for 2 baby models- one in 0-3 months, and one in 6-12 months I think, if I have got

the pom poms! they arrived!

And the good news is: they have little elastic loops so you can easily sew them onto things! Like beanies, for instance. I know these two colours should never be seen together, but here they are anyway. This was the first (pink) cabled beanie I did, and there is a

romper

a decision to make

I am trying to decide which daisy to decorate the ruffle romper with- perhaps you can help me? I decided that since it is a girl’s outfit, but because it is basically blue that it needed a little floral touch to make it more feminine, but I can’t

I know it’s not a great photo, but I’m going nicely with the ruffle romper that I’m crocheting. It doesn’t look like the picture yet, because the main feature- the ruffle- isn’t done yet, but I’m loving all the textures in the stitch patterns

cabled beanies

Did I mention I’ve been making cabled beanies? Well, I’m really enjoying the challenge, which is not really a challenge anymore, just pure enjoyment. I can’t show you a photo yet because I’ve ordered faux racoon fur pompoms to go on the top to give them

jumper

it's about time!

yes, apologies. You sort of get snowed under when you get back from holiday, busy, busy. Oh, and then go away again after 3 days to enjoy the long weekend on our annual Barossa stay with friends. Anyway. I finished the pink jumper I was making for Zoe on the

holidays

surprise surprise!

Did I tell you that we’re on holiday? Ben and I are all the way in New Zealand for a few weeks! It’s so lovely and picturesque and you don’t even mind the rain because of how green it makes everything. Plus, we’re staying with friends

2 jumpers complete

So yesterday I was able to finish off Zoe and my sister-in-law’s jumpers from the Acute jumper pattern. Nothing like a little bit of incentive to get one moving, like the new yarn that arrived on Friday! I’ll have to ask them to model them for me, because

How cute is this toy I just finished for my nephew! The pattern is pond friends stacking toy and I had Heaps of fun making the animals. I also put inside the post a rattle from an old toy, and scrunchy plastic inside the dragonfly wings and from Tomni designs

chunky lace infinity cowl

when I said that I’d finished my first lace cowl, I probably should mention the chunky ones I’ve been making for myself and friends recently this is my favourite one that I like to wear, it’s such a lovely shade of green. The pattern is from here

lace infinity scarf

I finished my first one of these yesterday I’m happy with it, although it looks nothing like the one in the picture! I think the pictured one must be the bigger size (which was an option). I’ve started another one in a pale ballet pink too. I’m

a scarf for Ben

I found some lovely manly coloured yarn at Spotlight today, and it is nice and thick too. It didn’t take long to crochet this which was inspired by this I’m still looking for a pattern for Basti’s cardigan…

working on hats lately

here’s the hats I’ve been working on… so the annoying thing about this hat is there wasn’t a pattern, but luckily there were 4 good close up pictures here, so I was able to work something similar. But this pattern was lovely and I learnt a new

house slippers

I had to try the crochet butterfly after watching the video tutorial and added a flower for the other foot to enjoy

poncho

poncho number two

So I made one for Zoe in ocean colours. The yarn looked sooo nice all swirled together in the ball, we couldn’t resist it. It’s the same pattern as the one I made for my friend, but I think it turned out bigger because the yarn was thicker.

crocheted poncho

a friend requested this lovely poncho- the wool is apple green and like a mohair or something from Spotlight. Love the wooden buttons on the shawl collar! Here is the pattern on etsy – so much fun to make, and very quick too.

Elliot's jumper

so Elliot requested a crocheted jumper, and he even googled til he found the pattern he liked. I’m sure glad it fits!

how about a basket?

So I was browsing in Lincraft and came across this Gorgeous spaghetti yarn. I didn’t know what to make with it but another lady who was there looking at it too said to google Hooked on spaghetti yarn, which I did, and i found this really cute basket pattern.
