I have a confession to make: when I launched my Dinosaurs Set 1, I promised I’d design another set if/when I sold 100 copies of the first set. And, ahem, well let’s just say that happened quite some time ago… I did start working on Set 2 in rare quiet periods while I was working […]

Summer Crochetalong: Alpacas & African Violets
After the success of the Spring Crochetalong (CAL) in the PlanetJune Crochet Designs Ravelry group, people have been asking for another CAL. I put it to the vote, and this is what we came up with: For the Summer CAL, we’ll be crocheting two of my most popular designs: my Alpaca and/or African Violets patterns. […]
AmiDogs Akita crochet pattern
Every time I say I’ll take a little break from AmiDogs before adding another breed, something happens to change my mind! In this case, a pattern commission from an Akita owner.

When I was younger, I loved the Chronicles of Narnia series, especially The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. I spent my pocket money on a lovely boxset of the paperbacks that […]
Yeti & Bigfoot crochet patterns
I was commissioned by comic book writer Jeff McClelland to design a cute yeti – Jeff’s comic book series, Teddy and the Yeti, is about a robot and a yeti who defend the Earth from external threats. A yeti is a bit of a departure from my usual subject matter, but it was an interesting […]
box of bits
One of my crazy habits idiosyncracies is that I hate to throw anything away. As a result, I have a box full of rejected crochet pieces: the prototypes that didn’t work out; the spare pieces I made to take photographs for patterns. The box is now full to overflowing (and has been for a long […]
