💖 Where do you find your inspiration?

For me, inspiration often comes from nature and special places I’ve visited. Sometimes it’s so special that it just has to become a crochet design. ✨

One of my favourite sources of inspiration was finally visiting Niagara Falls last October (swipe to see some photos!). 🌊 It was something I'd dreamed about visiting since I was a kid, and seeing it in person was even more magical than I'd ever imagined. 🥺🤩

Of course, I couldn't resist turning that experience into a crochet design, and that's when the 𝙒𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙏𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙬 was created. 💙

I'd love to know what inspires you. Is it nature, travel, colours, memories, other makers, or something completely unexpected? Share in the comments! 👇

⭐️ The 𝙒𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙏𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙬 pattern is live in Danish, Norwegian, German, English and French. Link below 👇🏼

The finishing line is finally in sight for my newest blanket design... and it now has a name - the 𝙍𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙚 𝘽𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙠𝙚𝙩.💖✨

I’m currently at the joining stage and using my favourite flat slip stitch method to bring all the squares together. I love this stage when the blanket really starts to come to life! ✨

Once the joining is finished, I just have the border to add, along with all the final tweaks of photo editing, video tutorial editing (sneak peek in my stories), and the yarn maths for the final yardages. 🧶📸

If everything stays on track, I’ll be looking for testers this Friday 👀, which is always an exciting stage in the design process!

Who else loves the moment when a pile of granny squares finally starts looking like an actual blanket? ✨

Hello June! ☀️💖

May was such a busy month here! My crochet hook barely got a break with granny squares on repeat for a brand new throw design, lots of Ailsa Scarves being whipped up, and a new Agnes Shawl joining my ever growing WIP pile. Throw in a few birthday celebrations and plenty of sunny days, and it’s been a lovely (and very busy) month! 😎

June is shaping up to be just as full. I’ve been getting everything ready for a tester call for my new granny square throw, which is coming very soon, and I’ve got a few new ideas keeping me busy behind the scenes too. ✨ Plus, I’m looking forward to a little trip to Brighton to catch up with friends, which will be a nice change of scenery.

How about you? Do you have anything exciting planned for June, or are you hoping for a quieter month? 💖🧶☀️

✨ Throwback to the 𝙃𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙨 𝙏𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙬! ✨

Did you know this design was inspired by the Isle of Lewis & Harris, off the north west coast of Scotland? 🏔️
 I came across some photos from my trip there three years ago and couldn’t resist sharing them with you today. Swipe through to see the rugged landscapes, ancient standing stones, and even a little behind-the-scenes glimpse of Harris Tweed being made. ✨

Not long after this trip, I released the Harris Throw pattern - a design inspired by beautiful texture. Featuring an easy one-row repeat, it’s the perfect project to slow down and unwind with.

Sometimes you just need a simple project with relaxing stitches, beautiful yarn, and a shawl growing row by row. ✨

Here’s a little sneak peek of the Agnes Shawl I’ve just started making with Twister yarn, and I’m already loving how this colourway is working up. 🧶💛 The slow colour changes are going to look beautiful.

What are you crocheting (or knitting) today?

Blanket update! 🧶✨
 The final three squares are on the hook and blocking is already underway… which means joining time is almost here! 😊 I can’t wait to see this one all come together. More sneak peeks soon! ✨

Could this possibly be another 𝘼𝙞𝙡𝙨𝙖 𝙎𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙛 on my hook? 👀✨

Yes it is 😂 and I’m completely obsessed! 🤩 There’s just something about this simple little design that goes with absolutely everything and adds the perfect pop to any outfit all year round. 🫶🏼 I’m only half way through this and I’m already thinking of pink for the next one! 💕
