As if my book release wasn’t enough news for today, I’ve got more to share! When I was at the zoo looking for inspiration a couple of weeks ago, there was a big cage full of hanging-by-their-feet-fast-asleep flying foxes. I thought I’d take a picture, and just as I got the camera out, this guy […]

craft crochet along panda
I decided to join the CRAFT Crochet-Along to make a Fuzzy Panda Amigurumi this month. I thought it would be interesting to put the results of my brushed crochet experiment into action, plus I could connect with more crocheters, and maybe it would be be relaxing to make someone else’s pattern for a change! Me […]
gecko crochet pattern
If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you’ll have already had a sneak peek at this guy: He’s a gecko, a type of smallish lizard found in warm to tropical climates. Leopard geckos, the type you’ll see most often kept as a pet, have tiny claws on their feet, but most other gecko species […]
photos from the zoo

You can listen to the podcast here – and as incentive to listen there’s a contest in there […]

lemming invasion!
My lemmings pattern continues to take over the world 🙂 Here’s another commission I just finished, (currently on their way to Italy): And this is just too cool not to share: JS left me a comment on my original lemmings post to tell me about a project planned and executed to perfection by the craft […]
new stitch markers for crochet
I have a new item available in my shop today: stitch markers for crocheters. The regular ring-shaped stitch markers used by knitters are no good for crochet, as there’s no way to remove the marker from the stitch without cutting it off! Stitch markers for crochet need an opening so they can be slipped off […]
