A place of craft related ranting. Sunday, 3 March 2013. I can't believe I haven't posted in so long. The weeks have gotten away from me with working overtime (boo! But now I am on holiday for a week and looking forward to getting lots of crafty stuff done. So I've been up to few crafty things. I was commissioned to crochet a circle cardigan. I really enjoy this pattern. It's going to be a gift and I can't wait to hear what they think of it. I whipped up a slouchy hat to sell on Maggie Makes Stuff. Recycl...

A place of craft related ranting. Sunday, 13 January 2013. Getting Back Into The Swing Of Things. Well January has been quite manic and we're not even half way through yet. The madness shows no sign of slowing down as I'll be off to Cardiff for a week at the end of January for training with work. So I have managed to get some crafting done during the madness. I have been working on this Easy Peazy Shawl. I picked up this notebook from Paperchase recently and I have been using it to scribble down crafty i...

Maggie Makes Stuff: Conjoined Aliens Pattern
http://maggie-makes-stuff.blogspot.com/2010/10/conjoined-aliens-pattern.html
A place of craft related ranting. Tuesday, 12 October 2010. So this pattern has been a long time coming but I realised that in order to have crochet dominion over the world I need to put a little more effort in so I sat down with my lappy and cracked out this pattern. Its been strange writing in the normal American format again as writing for the magazine I have to write in British terms, but I find the American terms make more sense. 100g of worsted weight yarn in a colour of your choice. A needle to sew.

Maggie Makes Stuff: Felted Fun
http://maggie-makes-stuff.blogspot.com/2010/02/felted-fun.html
A place of craft related ranting. Monday, 15 February 2010. Take a small amount of raw/roving wool and fluff it up by pulling apart the fibers. Roll in into a loose ball and dunk it into some hot water with a small amount of liquid soap in it. Keep rolling it about in your hands untill it becomes small and tightly packed. Let the bead dry on a towel. I strung them together on a ribbon to wear as a bracelet, you may need some pliers to pull the needle through the bead. 17 February 2010 at 06:56.
