rainbow reverie

Welcome to the world a new baby! When i make blanket for babies, i like to use rainbow colours. Baby crochet blankets are smaller and take less time than my giant crochet thinking projects. Baby blankets are finished quicker, and usually way way before the babies are due, just in case.... Spy my BLANKET page HERE to admire them on the bottom of the page in their own dedicated picture gallery, and if you have been gifted one of my baby blankets, see if you can spot yours amongst the others.*

September usually means new beginnings, which come with some stress until things settle down again. Not sure why, but coincidentally, i usually start new jobs around this time of year, or various courses, and with this excitement of the new thing, also comes the slight stress of not knowing what i am doing yet. Today, i have no huge announcement about…

cotton conquest

Retrospectively REWRITTEN DUE TO TECHNICAL Difficulties in 2026... The simple cotton square. It doesn’t shout. It doesn’t demand to be admired. It just works; in the sink, in the shower, in the rhythm of your hands as you make it. I remember the time when my crochet practice was consumed with these cotton commanders. I didn’t know it then, but those experiments with 3D stitches, the bobbles, the ridges, the raised lines that made the cloths look almost architectural, meant developing and feeding my fascination with the craft. Cotton is heavier than wool. It highlights every wobble, every moment of hesitation, every place where my tension betrayed my mood. And still, it held…
