In just a few hours of typing this blog it will be the first year anniversary of the death of the man who birthed heavy metal. The Prince of Darkness, John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne, was born close to where I live, in the city of Birmingham. It was in Birmingham that he cofounded the band Black Sabbath in 1968. This was before I was even born. What followed was 56 years of pure creative genius, heavy metal rock music, to inspire generations to come. I was lucky enough to have s

I provide very unique, personalised, 1-2-1 crochet sessions catered especially just for you, because lets face it, we all crochet in our own unique way! But finding out how you crochet takes time, patience and a special eye. I watch how your hands move and how your body reacts to crocheting. It may not seem like a physical hobby, but crocheting CAN be very physical. You don't just use your hands, wrists and arms, but you also use your shoulders, neck and back muscles. Crochet

This has been my latest obsession. Bavarian Blanket in the round. This is a really easy stitch to repeat, but the larger it gets the longer it takes. To complete each round of diamonds you have to go around the blanket twice and currently it's taking me 2 hours to do one completed round. This now requires me to find the extra time in my day, just to do one row. But I will complete it when winter comes and I spend more time inside when I begin to hybernate. Here is the link to

Listen....I am just not good with technology. Lots of other people seem to have teams that help them create a magnitude of great crochet videos, and to be honest, a lot of them are all the same. All the crochet videos teaching the basics already exist, some more popular than others, so to me, what would be the point in me agonising over making my own videos? It would just be 2 weeks of torture just to make one 10 minute video that I would hate, and I would get no crochet done

Free style crochet is exactly that, FREE STYLE. Knowing the basic crochet stitches, how to increase and decrease, is all you really need to know to create free style crochet. It does not involve following a pattern at all. I will be honest, I found it incredibly hard to master FREE FORM crochet, but others take to it straight away. I tried doing a bit of FREE FORM crochet 2 years ago and I just couldn't do it. So I gave up. Then last year I grabbed a bag of blue yarn oddments

I started the Crochet and Cuppa Club back in March 2024. But before that I used to run a sewing circle back in 2019, which moved online for the Covid lockdowns, but sadly the longer the lockdowns lasted the less and less people attended the live meet ups. Which is understandable, being that it was a very stressful time. Then when the lockdowns were lifted two of the women from my sewing circle decided to stab me in the back and steal my group and all its members. This caused

The holiday season is the perfect time to slow down, cosy up, and enjoy simple pleasures. For many, that means curling up with a warm blanket, a cup of hot cocoa, and a classic Christmas movie. For those of you, who are like me, combining movie time with crochet creates a relaxing and joyful experience. This year I have created a special Christmas Movie Marathon to share with you. Get ready to make your holiday crafting even more fun. A downloadable PDF lets you follow along

The holiday season calls for special touches that make gifts and decorations stand out. Imagine adding a handcrafted bow that looks just like a ribboned gift bow but made with yarn. My latest crochet pattern, The Christmas Gift Bow , offers a quick and easy way to create a beautiful, festive embellishment. Whether you want to dress up your presents, decorate your Christmas tree, or add a charming detail to accessories, this pattern delivers a versatile and delightful solutio

For Pride month I was inspired by the LGBTQ+ Ally flag to create a jumper in the same colours. Made from 3x "Lady Yarn Cupcake" (150g,...

One of the problems many beginners have, when doing rows of any stitch, is keeping your sides straight. I have recorded a short video of...
