Crochet News…

My hooks have been keeping me very busy so it’s about time I shared a little of that here on my blog… 🙂 Yes, my Instagram and Facebook pages get more regular updates but I do know many of you only follow along here on my blog… so what have I been up to?

Firstly, I must share this blanket project by Hobbycraft which starts tomorrow! It’s ‘Granny Square Month’ and the ‘Knitcraft‘ team at Hobbycraft are hosting this blanket as a crochet along. 25 Designers have each designed a square to reflect their style and a square will be shared over on the Hobbycraft blog each day throughout July to create this beautiful blanket…

So which square do you think is mine?!

I won’t have time to make the blanket myself but my daughter who is a very capable but reluctant crocheter is going to try and make it! And here’s all the yarn from Hobbycraft…

Maybe you would like to join in too… all the details are here.

Secondly to share is that I’ve enjoyed hosting some lovely workshops at Made and Making in Hassocks, West Sussex. It’s a really wonderful craft space. I did a ‘Tunisian Entrelac’ workshop…

And then today a ‘Crocheting around Pebbles’ workshop…

Meeting some of you lovely people at these workshops and sharing the crochet joy for a few hours with people who share a passion for crochet is really such a wonderful thing that I absolutely love! And look at the fabulous pebbles crocheted…

And lovely Helen was admiring my blankets that come along to my workshops with me…

Which leads me onto more crocheted pebbles patterns which I designed for ‘Crochetzine’…

Crochetzine is an Instagram ‘magazine’ which shares 12 squares of crochet inspiration every month… and it was fun to design these pebbles for them… the free patterns are available over on the Crochetzine Instagram.

And Amanda from ‘Mrs G Makes‘ shared this photo on her Instagram…Amanda sells these coastal themed stitch markers in her Etsy shop and I’m very honoured that she made these after being inspired whilst making my Changing Tides Blanket! I was lucky to meet Amanda last year at the The Crochet Sanctuary when she attended my ‘crocheting around pebbles’ workshop there! So nice to see a stone in use… I ordered myself the yacht and shell stitch markers… so many lovely ones to choose from…

So as you can see, my passion for crochet certainly keeps me busy! Plenty more projects to share with you over the coming weeks too. 🙂

Happy Crocheting Everyone… 🙂
