Crochet and Carvings

 Hello All.

I don't often share my crochet projects here, even though I constantly have a hook in my hand when I'm not getting painty. So here are a few of my recent makes.

I love making colourful crochet baskets to keep my yarn and projects in. It's a great way to use up odd scraps of yarn.

My daughter recently asked me to make something for her boyfriend's baby nephew Ernie. I crocheted a blanket and a little elephant comforter. I took the photo on my phone, and unfortunately it seems a little fuzzy.

Then she asked if I could crochet something for Ernie's older brother Arthur, who turns two this month. I found a pattern for a cute robot. When you open his chest flap, there is a heart shaped button hiding beneath.

Little Arthur is also a big Gruffalo fan, so I crocheted him a Gruffalo hat too. I'd never seen The Gruffalo, so I needed to do lots of research on this one.



 Our daughter came to visit at the weekend with her boyfriend. It was lovely to see her and hug her again, and to finally meet him. She met him online last Summer, when we were in lockdown for the first time. 

I've been carving some more stamps too. I needed some hedgehogs for a cute couple getting hitched this Summer.


And this plait was inspired by an image I saw on Instagram.


I'm hoping to do some art journaling this week, so I'll be back soon.

Thanks for dropping by,
