I have had a cardigan on the hook for some time, it was basically finished, all it needed was the front bands and some buttons and a bit of fancy footwork to finalize edges and such like. Simple really, and I had it all done but wasn’t really happy as I made the classical mistake [...]
I had the most wonderful dream some nights ago. It totally blew my mind as I simply dreamt that I was crochet. I was the yarn, the hand and the hook. I felt every move of a double crochet stitch, the yarn was pure wool and made a scratchy sound as I went through the [...]
I am born an optimist and I think making a sun hat these days proves that point to the full. It ain’t exactly sun we are gifted with in Ireland these days, nor is it heat. Nevertheless, I crochet this ladies sun hat, just because I could. I wanted to test the texture that a [...]
I wanted to have a couple of new hats up my sleeve for Friday when I’m giving the Design A Summer Hat class at The Yarn Room. However, the summer does not really lend itself to the big brimmed floppy affair I had planned. Instead I set to work on a bit of cotton for [...]

The wrap is done and the colour is completely delicious, it’s 450 grams of lovely Ístex Loðband Einband transformed into [...]
Strawberries and cream are simply just utter summer to me, so I stopped at one of the many roadside outlets selling Wexford strawberries and bought myself a punnet or two. I had a hard time not just devouring them there and then, but I contained myself and waited until I got home to the cool [...]
Tapestry crochet is fun and the colour possibilities are simply endless!

I had fun making this Little Girl’s Pouch Bag but unfortunately, I didn’t have any sky-blue cotton in a DK weight, so a wee waistline appeared around the poppies as I worked the sky in Aran [...]
I am Scandinavian, I adore Fair Isle knitting, I love colour and crochet and all these elements come together for me in Tapestry Crochet. I am currently preparing a workshop in Tapestry Crochet and had this notion that the yarn from Cushendale Woollen Mills would be ideal for this purpose. The yarn is hard wearing [...]
