I do love it when I get asked to make some baby clothes 😌 it gives me a sense of warmth. My friend wanted to see me in person last month, so I arranged to meet her. When we met up I noticed she had changed her hair colour (again) and was smiling a lot! We walked to a quiet area of the busy room, there was just one chair. I knew she had just finished work and invited her to sit down when I…

Well here we are in 2022! What a year 2021 was for us all! I’m hoping for a better year for my crafty work to take off even more! So the things I managed to do last year was make some socks for my friends, make mittens for my son, design perfect hat patterns, make some Xmas jumpers and learn to sew. I did succeed with a few of these, the hat pattern designing didn’t take off but I can add it to…

Nearly every day (in the winter mainly) we wear socks! I became to hate shop bought socks after I had made my very own pair of socks! they were fantastic and I didn’t want to take them off! Recently I have been making my very own patterns for socks and people are loving them! These have only been gifts and I haven’t put any up for sale. (yet!) I have loved making them and would quite happily…

Well here we are in November already, 2 more weeks and it’s December! Christmas is round the corner. But even though as a knitter, you plan your time wisely so you can get those gift ideas knitted up for your shop or the craft & gift fairs. I’ve not been bothered 😕 I’ve literally been sat here wondering why I should knit anything and then all of a sudden with that mindset I start a KAL with Drops…

There’s only one great thing about being restricted to holidays in your own country… learning about it through “stay-cations”! I’ve not travelled the UK in a long time, in fact, I was still living with my parents and siblings when we travelled about almost every weekend with our trailer tent. As English Heritage and National Trust members, we would travel about and learn about our country’s…

Visit the smallest pub in the world!

What glorious weather we have been having over here by the sea! It’s such a lovely sight to see. I took a trip out to cleethopes on Saturday with my family by train, it only took 20 minutes to get there as we only live in Grimsby, Ha! That’s 10 minutes to walk to the train station and 10 minutes on the train. It was nice to get out but it was very busy, Next new years sale day busy, if not…

It’s nearly June and the weather is starting improve a little. Soon we will be putting those woollies away for a few months and getting out those cotton tops we all made throughout lockdown!

I don’t just knit outside for that one date per year, no! I…
