Pink gooseberry harvest... Best yet! Now where is

Pink gooseberry harvest... Best yet! Now where is that topping and tailing gadget... Oh wait... Nobody invented it 😩 did they? 'said with hope' 🤞🏻

High Summer on the Catio! What's a catio? A place for cats to hang out in the fresh air, but with no access to the road or to birdies! New video out now xxx

This washcloth has turned out very useful this week soaked in fridge cold water and worn like a mini shawl round my neck 😁 And those large 14 litre buckets I use for transporting water for dyeing? Perfect for a cold foot soak ❄️ As you might gather, I'm not loving this heatwave 🥵

New Podcast!!!. More about why I've been absent from YouTube than about my crafting. But Life Happens xxx

Beauty of the Ocean stitch markers new in my Etsy shop today 🌊🌊🌊 #stitchmarkers and #progresskeepers for #knitting and #crochet #createprettythings

For various reasons this week hasn't quite gone to

For various reasons this week hasn't quite gone to plan and I forgot to tell you about my June reflections video which is on YouTube already... I'm away this weekend so won't be around until next week but will have a chat catch up video before the next pod at the end of July 🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼

Something new on my hook today in these lovely soo

Something new on my hook today in these lovely soothing colours. I had planned a filming day today but next door are having part of their drive dug up and redone so the sound of pneumatic drills and stone saws has put paid to that.

I was only joking and chatting with patrons this week that I become more sensitive to loud and intrusive noise as I get older... But I swear that I live in rural area where everyone is addicted to power tools 😩🙉😖 and to ripping things apart on a regular basis ⚙️🛠️🙄

Thank goodness for Bluetooth headphones and crochet 🎧🌼😏

Bye bye June and Hello July! A lovely month with

Bye bye June and Hello July! A lovely month with sunshine, lovely summer walks, lots of crochet, pretty yarns, flowers and just enough cloud and rain that I didn't feel I was sentenced to endless garden watering duties 💦☔🌼

Throwback to a project from a few years ago. Storage and crochet: a combo made in heaven. Or is that just me?

My second Suddenly Its Summer shawl, made in a rich tonal blue with a slightly contrasting border. I love them both and can't choose between them. In fact, quite tempted to start a third using mini skeins!

What a numpty I am! I had a big Senior moment on

What a numpty I am! I had a big Senior moment on Friday 🙄🙄🙄 As I was packing orders today I couldn't understand why nearly everything else had sold out but these two colourways were completely unordered 🤔

I now realise I forgot to list either colourway 🙄🙄🙄 They both come with a free Suddenly It's Summer shawl pattern 🌼 but got trapped in the wrong computer folder😢 so never made it to their listing... BUT they are in the shop now...

A new mini set is in the shop too this weekend...

A new mini set is in the shop too this weekend... Inspired by the colours of the beach, cliffs and sea at Robin Hood Bay. A place I've not been to for far too long. I'd love to make the Suddenly It's Summer shawl in a mini set... That would be stripey and interesting 🤔😊🌊 Or is that stripy? 🤔🌞👀

Suddenly Its Summer one skein shawl pattern is fin

Suddenly Its Summer one skein shawl pattern is finished and available and has been having a prance around my English country garden.

You can buy it on Ravelry (its 25% off for the next month) or you can buy a skein to make it from my Etsy shop and get the pattern FREE. Or you can join my lovely Patreon community who so inspire me at one of top four tiers and get the pattern free there.

The pattern, which has a UK crochet term version and a US crochet term version also has a link to a full 30 minute video tutorial, including blocking instructions.

I've been a busy bee this week. The new podcast is

I've been a busy bee this week. The new podcast is out now - Episode 119, this new shawl pattern is published, the podcast notes and Shawl release blog posts are up and I have an Etsy update with lots of lovely skeins that give you the Suddenly Its Summer shawl pattern FREE! Check out my LinkTree.

I've also made a second shawl sample in a solid dark blue colourway to feature in the video tutorial that is linked to in the pattern. Its blocking now and I'll show it to you over the weekend.

I'm off for a glass of vino, to cook a Shepherd's pie and to chill out now 🙂 But what a wonderful week - I have been busy but felt so upbeat and creative having dumped lots of 'should' and 'ought' to dos from my thinking. Being creative and making lovely things is what I'm about and it feels fantastic!!

Happy weekend 💜🧶💖

A preview of some of the sock yarn colourways that

A preview of some of the sock yarn colourways that will be released tomorrow when Episode 119 of the podcast is published, and when my new shawl pattern, Suddenly its Summer becomes available. All of the 400 metre skeins pictured come with the pattern FREE and there will be lots of other options including some lovely semi-tonal, solid colours too 💜

PS - further to my last post, I'll check Etsy again but I think the problem will be that the increased charge for VAT will make purchasing my yarn very expensive for EU customers... but I will see if I can work out a way to at least offer the option. All existing orders will be fulfilled - or are in transit - so lets hope they get there before July 1st 😱

Due to the change in rules for charging VAT on goo

Due to the change in rules for charging VAT on goods going into Europe from July 1st, I have no choice but to delete the option that enables you to buy any of my Etsy shop listings if you are in the EU. I don't earn enough to become VAT registered, and its a costly thing to do just for a handful of sales each year. And I don't want my customers to be stung by a huge charge when it gets to their country, or have their parcel lost or destroyed. So I can't see a way round it.

But I am heartbroken for the dozen or so loyal repeat customers who are in various countries within the EU. I didn't vote for Brexit, I never agreed with it, and I still think its a bad idea. UK Businesses of all sizes have been disadvantaged and people in the EU have less choice and cannot buy from the UK sellers they have built up relationships with over the years. #brexit #brexshit #notinmyname

That's my view anyway. I've given up even trying t

That's my view anyway. I've given up even trying to understand how posts on IG, FB and even videos get a lot of views while others seem to remain hidden from view. Mine certainly seem to disappear without trace compared to how things were a couple of years ago. BUT, instead I'm just carrying on, nurturing my creativity and the algorithms can amuse themselves. I'm done with trying to keep up.

Podcasting Day! #119 will be out on Friday at 6pm

Podcasting Day! #119 will be out on Friday at 6pm UK together with the Suddenly It's Summer one skein shawl pattern release AND an Etsy update with one skein shawl kits. Kit is maybe a bit of a strong word but the pattern will be free with any skein of sock yarn with 400m. Pattern itself will be on Raveley with a 25% discount until July 1st. 💐🌸🌹🥀🌺🌼🌷🌻

The busier I am, the more time I seem to find for endless faffing... On the pretext that flowers, candles and a tidied desk is totally necessary for productivity, I just spent half an hour playing and daydreaming 😁
