When The Cat Is Out

The Cat was out today so the mice came out to play…

It turned into an action packed morning what with the Wicklow & Co Travelling Yarn Sisterhood doing their thing at The Yarn Room today and it was just lovely. I am a firm believer in the value of The Sisterhood and I am privileged [...]

Rolling On With Crochet

Today we did a little exclusive Crochet Class at The Yarn Room and it was a complete pleasure. We claimed The Yarn CouchTM and got down on it… All sorts of stitches were fathomed and executed to full marks and we even managed scalloped edges and picots too!
Not only did we get the crochet sorted [...]

Crochet Music

On the whole I carry around a handy little crochet or knitting project in my basket. I find it great stress relief while waiting in the queue at the shops or anywhere I am made wait. I also enjoy being industrious while having a chat with a friend and a few times I have taken [...]

Remnant Busters

The other day I found a luxurious little remnant of Manos del Uruguay and had to make something nice. Crochet flowers are great remnant busters and a couple like this on a lapel will jazz any jacket or sweater up for a bit of fun. I get a thrill out of the ease with which [...]

Secret & Soft Wrap

I searched in my bag of tricks, my basket of odments, my box of other tricks and I simply could not find it! The Secret & Soft Wrap that I completed at least 3 months ago had vanished. I put it to one side then as something urgent came along even though all that was [...]

Tunisian Heads Down

Another successful gathering at the work table in The Yarn Room today. They had their heads down in the bright and airy room while cracking the Tunisian code.

They worked hard, coffee, tea and cakes were had and they cracked the code completely! YAY!
On Friday it’s all about Classical Crochet. I better get the hook out…

Another Class of Crochet

The more I work Tunisian Crochet, the more fun it becomes. The colour options are in a class of their own. I love colour!
Tomorrow is the day when I will get the oportunity to share this joy. The class is at The Yarn Room, Ashford, Co Wicklow
and it starts at 3 pm.
I’ll be there, will [...]

Crochet On Tour

I took myself and my crochet on tour today to Bonclody in Co Wexford to be precise.
I went to see the ‘Side by Side’ exhibition at Newtownbarry House. The exhibition is part of the Arts Ability Visual Arts Programme in Killagoley Training and Activation Centre and the Recreational Therapy Unit, St Senan’s Hostpital in Enniscorthy, [...]

Tunisian Stripes

Man, did I have fun with colour last night?!

Note: Tunisian Crochet swatch worked in Kilcarra Aran Tweed.
