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.

"Crochet for Children"

This arrived in the post today,  I pre-ordered it a little while ago from here



It's written by Claire Montgomerie who blogs here.
I was looking forward to seeing the book and the designs as I've always been a fan of Claire's designs and her creatures - her book did not disappoint . 
I however, had little time to absorb all the book offered before it was whisked away by the eldest Hook & Scumbler who had already arrived with yarn and hook ready to make a start


"...after all it is called Crochet for Children " I was reminded.



True enough, I could not argue and by the end of the day she had completed her first project and was deciding what colour to start the next..



 
.....a girl after my own heart !
