Bloom Blossom Hand Towel · Free Crochet Pattern
Let’s be honest, one of the best ways to use up leftover yarn is by making hand towels or washcloths, right? If you’re anything like me and have a mountain of cotton yarn that never seems to shrink, a quick towel or cloth project is the perfect fix. Not only is it a great stashbuster,…

Huggy Bag · Crochet Pattern
We need to talk about velour/chenille yarn. Like, we seriously need to discuss it right now. I don’t know about you, but this yarn has been wavering between being the love of my life (it looks gorgeous when it’s crocheted up tightly, for example, just look at those bags) and my mortal enemy (the fluff,…

The Softina Hood · Free Knitting Pattern
I’m sure you’ll agree when I say that I think that everyone should have at least one (but preferably 100) hand-knitted accessories in their winter wardrobe. There’s something so unique and special about wearing something that was made by hand but I genuinely believe that handmade things feel better, last longer and add a special…

Tiny Pouches · Free Knitting Pattern
As the festive season is approaching, I thought it was only right to offer you not one but TWO fabulous and free knitting patterns! I know, no crochet patterns this year, but to tell you the truth I can’t even remember the last time I picked up a crochet hook… Apart from when I pulled…

Toby Tinsel · Free Knitting Pattern
I don’t know about you but Christmas is by far my favourite holiday. I think it stems from the warm memories I have of spending it with my amazing and much-missed grandmother in her warm, cosy, council flat just outside London. Even though she didn’t have a lot of spare cash, she always made her…

Cozy Toadstools · Free Knitting Pattern
Aren’t the colder seasons wonderful? Sure, the nights getting in, the rain and the cold might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but even the biggest Summer lover can’t deny that being cozy at home during Autumn and Winter is such a lovely feeling. Plus there’s Halloween and Christmas to look forward to! Monopoly and…

Create Baby Ruben: Simple Knitting Project
If you enjoyed my most recent free pattern, the adorable and now VIRAL (thanks!) Feesh, you’ll know that I adore knitting toys but I’m not such a fan of crocheting them. I’m not going to go on and on about that again (thankfully) but since the success of my little Feesh I thought I’d carry…

Half Double Moss Stitch · Tutorial
Who loves Moss Stitch? We ALL love Moss Stitch! It’s one of the most beautiful crochet stitches and, best of all, it’s super-easy to work up and gives a gorgeous knitted look to your project. The other day I was making my umpteenth Moss Stitch blanket and decided to experiment a little using Half Double…

Crochet Tutorial · Tiny Houses
There’s been a lot of use of The “C” Word in our house and on my feed over the last few days. No, I’m not talking the word of the Middle English sweary ladies part variety, but the word that cannot be uttered in company until at least the beginning of November. The word that…

Softly Simple Stars · Crochet Tutorial
I must admit that I don’t crochet very often, and I’m always very critical of my ability to write crochet patterns. I’m not as confident a crocheter as I am a knitter which is probably why I’m a bit adverse to publishing anything cro-related! However, I’m going to fight against that fear right now and…

Little Dot Lampshade · Craft Tutorial
Anyone who has moved house knows that choosing the right decor, furniture and accessores to make your new home complete takes a while. We moved house two years ago to our wonderful pad here in Asturias, and even though we have the bulk of everything we need, it’s still a labour of love to get…

Squidlet Newborn Sweater · Free Knitting Pattern
Knitting garments is one of my favourite things to do, but I sometimes get a bit put off by the hard work invoved! Aside from the actual time-consuming knitting part, working out the sizing and paying special attention to stitch count, gauge and all that jazz can really make me stress out. I told you…

Tutorial · Origami Pouch
Last week, as part of a huge rebrand of my Etsy store and some big changes for 2019, I made the rather huge decision to go plastic-free with my packaging choices. It’s the right (albeit expensive) thing to do, and I am looking forward to the challenge. Should it be a challenge though? The fact…

How to: Up your Photo Game on Instagram – for Crafters!
Photo editing has come a long way, hasn’t it? I’ve got vivid memories of my Dad knobbing about with some program called Paint Shop Pro as a kid and enjoying all the CDs bundled with crap software when we bought a new printer (which was like, every month). My other half is a huge MS…
