Wooooooof! I’m so happy to present my favourite dog breed: the Beagle! This little guy took a long time to design – I actually started him before the Jack Russell, but I wasn’t satisfied with the yarn I’d bought for the project, so I had to restart with different yarn. I wanted him to be […]

more guinea pigs

Look who I found in my garden today… These two are heading off to the US for a trade with Jen. And a quick reminder for anyone who wants to crochet their own guinea pigs, you can pick up the Fuzzy Guinea Pig pattern from my store.

theft update

I have a partial victory! Although I have no control over how many hundreds or thousands of people have already downloaded my patterns without paying, I have contacted the websites where my stolen work had been uploaded, and, in both cases, the pattern has now been removed.
