Welcome

Welcome to my Blog.
I have a passion for textiles and jewellery and this comes together in the form of crochet - usually freeform, exciting and experimental. I hope to be able to show that crochet today is not just doily's and dishcloths and that even the Granny Square can be modern and exciting . I hope I can inspire you that crochet can be versatile and doesn't just have to involve yarn and that it can be used as a creative form of art to create just about anything . I hope you get a taste of what crochet can offer and this blog inspires you to enrole in a workshop, ask someone to teach you or even teach yourself ! I've found Crochet to be a great form of therapy and with a bit of patience , a hook and some yarn you can go on to create some most amazing pieces.

Vintage Crochet

So sorry I have been away for a while.
Things have been a little crazy here at Hook & Scumble with finishing designs for exhibitions as well as pattern writing and a commission .

I have however managed to find  5 minutes here and there to to indulge myself  with some recently sourced vintage 1940's and 50's crochet patterns ....more of that to come .

In the meantime I'll leave you with a reworked bag design from the era, ,
