Hearts






Crocheted hearts in various colours. Must say red is my favourite colour - and they look really good on the Christmas tree!

Cheating bag

This is a present for one of my daughter's friends! However, I've cheated - as the bag was bought in the sale (got an application of Little Red Riding Hood on the other side). But I cut up the sides of the bag so I could sew on Amy-Ella's name - so make it a bit more personal! Hope she likes it.

Eskimo wristwarmers

Made these wristwarmers a while ago - but have started using them now!
They are knitted using Eskimo 100% wool, needle size 10mm. They are finished off with a needlebinded border, which makes them keep their shape.

Redesign: Jumper to dress!

I've got several old wolly jumpers I've saved - hoping one day I will be able to use them for something.. Yesterday I suddenly had some free time so turned two jumpers into a dress! The black jumper is from Marks & Spencer, the grey one is my husbands old jumper from Next. Both 100% wool.
I cut off the arms from the grey jumper, turned it upside down and sewed it onto the end of the black jumper which I had cut shorter. I also had a thin wool cardigan (not on the before photo) which I trimmed off about 10 cm and sewed this onto the bottom of the grey jumper. I sewed on a nice flower ribbon from Norway on the front. A really warm dress for the winter!

Kids wristwarmers


I made these wrist-warmers for my daughters' friend's birthday the other week. They are both crocheted using merino wool. The size is about 2-4 years. My eldest loved them so will have to make her a pair to!
