Wowsers! Such a surprise to open my new issue of @insidecrochet today and see this - designed by @alic_cancerwarrior for my book Crochet. Learn It, Love It. Ali designed this way back in 2014 for the original edition (then published as The Woman's Weekly Guide to Crochet). I loved it then, and I love it now. So many if my pupils have made versions of this. If you have a copy of this issue, look out for the book giveaway. You could win your very own copy of the shiny new edition! Thankyou Inside Crochet xxx #crochetersofinstagram #crochetmakesmehappy #grannycoolcrochet #haaktechniekenbijbel #alwayscrocheting #colourfulcrochet #crochetdesigner #makersgonnamake #crocheting #lovecrochet #makeitwearit #crochetgirlgang #crochetcrew #igcrochet #crochetersofinstagram #crochetaddict #crochetgeek #hookedoncrochet #crochetuk
One of the many reasons I ♥️ working with @insidecrochet - beautiful styling! This clutch bag was in issue 107. The yarn is Milburn dk from @edencottageyarns , it's a beautiful blend of blue faced leicester and silk. #knittersofinstagram #crochetersofinstagram #britishwool #lovecrochet #instacrochet #crochetaddict #alwayscrocheting #crochetbag #makersgonnamake #crochetdesigner #crochetstitch #edencottageyarns #milburndk #makeallthethings #grannycoolcrochet #colourfulcrochet #crochetmakesmehappy
When I look down at my feet and see these socks, I always smile. I have tiny feet, so I always have leftover sock yarn. I knit striped pairs or contrast toes - even the tiniest scraps get used - especially when the yarn is lovely Socks Yeah from @coopknits !! #knittersofinstagram #sockknittersofinstagram #toeupsocks #wasteless #handknitsocks #knitting #socksyeah
Both my new books on display at NEC yesterday! Thankyou @searchpress x #crochetlearnitloveit #haaktechniekenbijbel #200morecrochetstitches #uncinetto #grannycoolcrochet #crochetbooks
Sonetimes you just need to wrap yourself up in a granny square scarf! I love the gorgeous colours of this - crocheted a few years back in Wendy Ramsdale. Each square is just 2 rounds, "joined as you go" so no sewing together and tiny circle embellishment because I'm hopeless at fringing! The jumper underneath is an Owls, designed by Kate Davies, knitted in Fyberspates Scrumptious. #britishwool #grannycoolcrochet #grannysquares #grannysquaresrock #crochetgirlgang #crochetersofinstagram #knittersofinstagram #katedaviesdesigns
Love your clothes. Wear them, patch them, mend them. Let every hole, scuff and tear be an opportunity to embellish, personalise and show the world your wardrobe is too precious to send to landfill just because it has a flaw! Back in 2016 @clairemontyknits commissioned me to write a piece on visible mending for @insidecrochet . I have just uploaded an updated version of the piece to my website, where you can also find the flower motifs patterns I used for free! #visiblemending #woollytattoo #slowstitch #handmadewardrobe #makeitwearit #reloved #upcycled #upcycle #makedoandmend #knittersofinstagram #crochet # grannycoolcrochet
So happy to see my book on the racks at @abakhan_chester today! I only popped in to buy crochet hooks - seeing one of your own books out in the wild is always a thrill!!! #crochet #paperbackwriter
The pattern for these crochet heart pops is now on @lovecrochetcom plenty of time to hook a few up before Valentine's day ♥️♥️♥️ The pattern originally appeared in @insidecrochet way back in 2015 (issue 64) as part of a feature on crochet celebrations. I still have soft spot for @clairemontyknits cute styling in these tiny milk bottles! #grannycoolcrochet #crochetheart #handmadevalentine #crochetlove #crochetcrew #alwayscrocheting #crochetersofinstagram #myinsidecrochet #amigurumi
Crocheting hearts on wet Saturday afternoons!
