Charlotte’s Universe CAL 2021
Hello and Welcome to the Charlotte’s Universe CAL 2021. I have been waiting for this day for a very long time! Sometimes a project falls out of your brain and into reality with lightning speed – like when I designed Sophie. Sometimes, like with Charlotte, it takes its time to be born, gathering so many memories […]
Save the Date: Charotte’s Universe CAL 2021
I am so so SO excited to announce that I will be releasing the pattern for Charlotte’s Universe (aka #simplycharlotte) as a 12-week crochet-along later this year. Here you can see me modelling her as a superhero cape of rugby-mum awesomeness! *Read More* Charlotte has been on my hook and in my heart for the […]
Sophie’s Autumn Dream
Ooooh, Sophie’s Autumn Dream makes my insides go all fuzzy. The original (Summer) version was bright and bold – fierce and ‘focus on me’. Sophie’s Winter Dream was elegant and calming – a ballerina with perfect posture. Sophie’s Spring Dream is full of joy – skipping and twirling and giggling. This Autumn version… it feels […]
Sophie’s Spring Dream
Jenny and I are delighted to share her Spring version of Sophie’s Dream. I love how the orange she used for the border and joining brings all the colours together. And I super love the yellow popcorns! Sophie’s Spring Dream is a beautiful marriage of pastels and brights, making it perfect for those of you […]
Fruity Segment Balls {Crochet Puzzle Balls}
These segment balls are perfect for little hands. They come apart into three segments that have to be ‘built’ to form the fruit. I’ve made a lime and a grapefruit (slightly larger), but you can easily use this pattern to make apples and pumpkins as well. Think embroidered seeds! If you feel like having a […]
New Beginnings Clutch Pattern

And it ties in beautifully with the fact that 2021 starts the LAWIM family on a brand new adventure. It also celebrates the VERY detailed tutorial I recently […]
How to Crochet: Tapestry Crochet in Rounds
In this tutorial, I will walk you through the basics of using tapestry crochet in ROUNDS. This technique is used when creating circles, squares, or tubes (like the sides of a bag, a cowl, or fingerless mittens/wrist-warmers) where the right side of the work is always facing you. For the purposes of this tutorial, we […]
A Mighty Fine Day Bag: Pattern {Part 1}
This bag is a nod to our camping trip in Cornwall a few months ago, and specifically the Mighty Fine Day we spent at Tintagel (King Arthur!!!) with our closest friends (more like family, really) and their boys. The colours are also reminiscent of my daily commute during Covid – the pigeons that took over the platform […]
