In my last blog 'Starting my calming yarn journey' I referenced my Nan's courageous attempt to teach me to crochet when I was younger. Mum also tried to teach me to knit and I'm pretty sure that this wasn't overly successful either, both of them must have had the patience of saints to even give this a go. Whilst the arts of crochet or knitting were pretty elusive to me before adolescence I do have strong, fond memories of both Nan and Mum attempting to teach me............. Nan said that when she was growing up, it was something you just did, and women often got together talked about their family and any issues they may be having over a pot of tea whilst they knitted and/or crocheted...........

Screens are becoming a part of regular family life. I've found a way to make my kids accountable for their screen time...and it truly works!

​" Early on I discovered a curious thing about carving. Fifty percent of the effort will achieve ninety percent of the effect. Another discovery followed on quickly. If you allow yourself to stop at that ninety percent, then the carving can never succeed, never really succeed. Never raise the h

Hello everyone. Once upon a time, I used to be a petrol head! Also known as a gear head!!

I’m sure you all had an inkling that after the knit stitch I would give you the biz of purl. Here it is! I found purl a completely baffling part of knitting when my Mum tried to teach me. I didn’t get it. I just didn’t understand how or why it was different to knitting. I […]

Therapeutic knitting expert, Betsan Corkhill, explains that there's a scientific reason why knitting makes you feel good!

Not entirely happy with this. Very happy that it's so conspicuous (I like a nice bit of visible mending!), but the downside is you can see my errors. I didn't catch some of my warps; it was hard to see that they were there, working from the other side - you are supposed to darn from the back of the item. And my rows were a little far apart, or my darning wool was on the thin side, depending on how you look at it. Either way, the result is the same: a little thin, though this has strengthened a very thin, worn sock considerably. I will probably layer up and darn over it once again (a meta-darn?) at some point.

This is a listing for my online video instructional class...."Recycled/reusable journal wrap", that I have created and designed. In this class, I will show you how to take vintage and everyday fabrics and created a piece of art out of them. Once, you learn the foundational steps in how I create my wraps, I will discuss how you can create numerous wraps and by changing a few things, each one would be different and unique in itself and no two are identical. You could create a wrap for a journal, sketch book, cookbook, ledger, novel, magazine, text book, etc. Have you ever wanted to make a piece of art, that could be reused over and over again or have you ever wanted to recycle clothing, that you or your family have outgrown or that is worn out.

Regardless of how you chose to use your wrap, it will have others wanting one for themselves. By learning how to make this wrap, it will allow you to create wraps that you could give away as gifts for the holidays, birthdays or how about a just because gift.
