The second blanket I was weaving last month, and the first one to be staying in my family! ☺️ (at Harlow, Essex) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjvdnPnIBe8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I know I haven't posted anything in such a long time, but I have been doing things! I've been teaching myself more crochet than just what's I use for the cat toys. I've done a couple other things, but I thought I'd start by showing this bag first! Made with organic cotton, and a pattern of granny squares in blues, yellow and purple; and the first bag I've ever made! (at Essex) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd8gsqQoYU0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

More scarves on my etsy shop, including the two rainbow scarves. All of these scarves are either merino wool or lambs wool.

These are some examples of the handmade crochet pet toys I sell on my etsy shop. I save all of my waste yarn from my weaving and really wanted to use it instead of contributing to textile waste, so I use it as the stuffing for the toys. I taught myself to crochet during the first lockdown (2020) and have produced a few different collections of ball toys since then; some of the collections are made from hand spun yarn, something I taught myself to do a few years ago during my degree.
