Tada, my lovelies. TA! DA! This is my Unseen Mandala in all its 29-round glory. Made with Stonewashed Cutie Pies and one regular skein of Stonewashed Moonstone, it is 50cm/19″ big and full of happy colours. I spent a delightful afternoon taking photographs of it so you can see all the little details. Mr LAWIM […]
Unseen Mandala: Work in Progress
Hello! I’m very excited to show you some sneak peeks of my new design: Unseen Mandala. While I was working on this design, I spent a lot of time tending to my own ‘unseen things’ (that will make more sense if you have already read last week’s Yarn Arrival post). We went camping, we sat […]
Unseen Mandala: The Yarn
Is there such a thing as too many crochet mandalas? Probably, but I just can’t help myself! I’ve made another one, this time using some tiny Scheepjes Stone Washed/River Washed Cutie Pies. Before I dive into the reasoning behind the unusual name for this mandala, let me tell you about the yarn :) Scheepjes Stone […]

Sophie’s Universe MAL Week 3: Seasons
Welcome to Week 3 of the Sophie’s Universe 5 Year Anniversary MAL. Since this pattern was first released, I have paid virtual visits to so many places through the photos people have shared of their Sophies. My most memorable virtual trip was probably when I followed someone through Thailand as they started and finished a […]
Sophie Bunting
I LOVE a spot of Bunting. It puts me in a jolly frame of mind, even if I am just hanging up the washing or sitting at my computer editing patterns. To celebrate the 5-year anniversary for Sophie’s Universe, Jenny made this lovely Sophie Bunting in Scheepjes Sweet Treat. She used vibrant rainbow colours, echoing […]

Sophie’s Universe MAL Week 1: Then and Now
It’s MAL time!!! I hope you are all as excited as I am! I cannot believe that it has been five years since I first released the pattern for Sophie’s Universe. Back then, the boys were teeny tiny little underfoot things. I remember having to take photographs around them and their toys, and trying to […]

Sophie’s Universe 5 Year Anniversary MAL
Oooh!!! I am so excited! Sophie’s Universe is 5 years old and we are having a 5 Year Anniversary MAL (Make-along) to celebrate! I don’t quite know where to start. I want to say all the things at once! ‘All the things’ would take a very long time to say, though, so I will try […]
