I don’t blog much anymore but I still do a lot of making.
This last week I finished my Milobo Cardigan. The ribbon is black velvet. I like the look of it through the eyelets but don’t really know how to tie it to look nice.
I made a needle roll for my circular needles. The green [...]

I needed a quick crochet fix after doing lots of big projects.
The fat bottom bag is from the Happy Hooker book. I used my some leftover red Bendigo Woolen Mills 8ply cotton and 5ply wool. I held the two strands together and used a 5.5mm hook. Both yarns were different reds but [...]

I really wanted to make something special for Sheridan for when Emmeline arrived. I had already made the exquisite afghan by Terry Kimborough, but I had already given that to her – months ago.
I didn’t want to sew anything because she can make make lots of beautiful things and I wanted to give her [...]

I was just part of a rainbow swap on ravelry – in the australian swappers group. (I apologise to those not on ravelry).
It was a pretty simple swap. $25 budget with the requirements of including at least one ball of red yarn.
I got a package from K10. There were lots of red goodies. Some are [...]

I am normally pretty slack about contributing (financially) to my favourite sites, blogs and podcasts. I know that most people do it for nothing and survive on love and the generosity of a select few.
But with ravelry I was ridden with guilt. The have made a superb community and it is loved and used by [...]

Memories of holidays are fading fast. But while I was away I worked on and completed Sir Stephen the bunny from Interweave Crochet Magazine (summer 08) for my new baby nephew.
He was really fun to make and very cute. He is jointed so you can move his arms and legs around. The pattern [...]

I don’t think that I would call this afghan “exquisite”, it just happens to be the name of the pattern by Terry Kimbrough that I made for Sheridan aka Chalet Girl.
When I first learned that Sheridan was going through IVF again I decided to begin a crochet afghan for the new baby. I chose to [...]

Mum showed me this scarf/shawl pattern that she had clipped from a magazine ages ago. I really liked the idea of it and was keen to make it for her.
My first issue was that the yarn was difficult to source. It is cleckheaton studio mohair and the occasional ball can be [...]

We have been living in this area for over a year and it was only in the last couple of weeks that I ventured into our local library and got myself a library card.
It is not a particular big or inviting library but what I have discovered is their online library catalog.
All of Brisbane city [...]
