I find it hard to believe that it's been 9 years since I worked out my own pattern for this crochet clanger. At the time there wasn't one so I worked it out for myself ahead of creating one that was almost 4ft tall. I still have all my notes, and the original one sits on a shelf in the shop.

Yesterday I had the job of repairing a seam on a Joe Browns coat for one of my crochet students. I enjoy doing visible mending as it can tell a story, this time round it was a subtle visible mend. #visiblemending #repairwhatyouwear

In Nov, I took up the challenge of knitting everyday for a min of 30 mins to raise funds for Bone Cancer Research Trust. This was a challenge as I am a crocheter, not a knitter. I did approx 45 mins a day & learned a lot. Today my certificate & medal arrived. I'm going to frame them for the shop.

Sprig the dragon pattern by Kaden Brown (who works in the shop) uses Ricorumi DK. I used the exact same pattern to create Darnwin using King Cole Toastie yarn. Both Sprig & Darnwin are now flying from the ceiling in the shop. The pattern for Sprig can be found here ribblr.com/pattern/spri...

6 yrs ago I embarked on a crochet sock journey. I tried many designs. The dc (US sc) ones were too tight. The patterns using tr (US dc) were uncomfortable to walk on. So I designed my own, Herringbone htr (hdc) is a stretchy stitch that gives flexibility & dc on the sole gives comfort.

Our small Yarnbomb group met in the shop this afternoon. We're currently making Pokémon for a spring break trail around our high street. The Pokémon get displayed in shop windows for children to find. #crochet #knitting #yarnbomb #pokemon

So, we are a yarn shop that also does classes & community projects. A regular customer just walked in and asked "do you do laundry!?!" We do get some funny requests. *photo of shelves full of colourful yarns
