Mini jubilee yarn bomb

Had to make an effort for Queen’s 70th Jubilee- so mini yarn bomb in the front garden.

Felted blue tit

Finally got chance to make the needle felting kit my friend got me for Christmas. stabbing things a million times is surprisingly relaxing.

Textured lovey

Another baby on the way at work. This version of my textured twins blanket is in double knit yarn- so more different patterns included. Also made a cute corner to corner bunny lovey to match

Crochet school Scottish campus

Stayed with a friend in Largs near Glasgow last week. She needed to learn to crochet bunting for a family wedding. The pattern chosen by the bride was not very beginner friendly, but we persevered.

Fish knife dragonfly

Hubby surprised me on my birthday with this upcycled dragonfly, which started out life as some fish knives. Looks fab by the pond

Crochet School

My old uni friends wanted to learn to crochet, so I got us some Spirit yarn and a you tube video. Have to say success was somewhat limited… but we did have lots of cake

MBA celebration

Sooo proud of my friend who completed her MBA while also working full time. Needed a special cross stitch.

Pattern from Etsy- adapted the colours to Coventry Uni blue

Leicester Royal Infirmary 150 years

Our local hospital trust is celebrating 150 years of service and are making a huge patchwork display. My contribution in honour of my amazing friend who leads the breast care unit.

Memory quilt

My favourite young man was 14 this year so about time for a denim memory quilt. His mum had saved various outfits and I added in some patches. Hopefully he’ll have lots more patches to add from his travels and adventures

Chevron rib scarf and beanie

So few days before his birthday husband drops heavy hints he has lost his favourite scarf and needs something warm and snuggly. Managed to get some Sirdar Shawlie and used the rib pattern from Chevron rib hat on ravelry to give it a vaguely citroen flavour.

Fast forward past a few days of frantic knitting and he loves the scarf…. But where is the matching hat? So a frantic evening of stitching while binge watching Jack Reacher and here we are- just in time for a very wet and windy weekend.
