Charlotte’s Universe – Latte With Love Colourway
My dear Jenny is making this beautiful version of Charlotte in Scheepjes Softfun. I so wish I could still see her for lunch-time yarn goodness and uplifting chats. I would especially have loved to be able to squish this blanket as it grows. And those Roses!!!! I need to see them in person soon :) […]
Charlotte’s Universe – Space for Grace Colourway
This beautiful blanket has been made by my dear friend and tester, Sabi Bulla. I LOVE IT! Skies light is a gorgeous yarn to work with, and it has a beautiful, subtle stonewashed look. Sabi is one of the admins in the Facebook Group and you will soon learn that she has a great sense […]

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 […]
