Hi Everyone… it is June and time for another blanket…. this one is about my bucket-list. I have a few thing on that list, one of them is traveling and visiting/living in new places. the top of the list for the places is ICELAND, and that is what this blanket is dedicated to Iceland. I always...
Let me tell you about last Saturday. As part of YSD I was at THREADS WOOL SHOP in Dunbarton. (143 Glasgow road, Dunbarton, G82 1RQ ). Dumbarton is a town on the north bank of the River Clyde about half an hour from Glasgow. I got an amazing welcome from the owner Linda, her daughter Lorna,...
Let’s start with a question: Do I need more yarn? ABSOLUTELY NOT !!! Do I WANT more yarn? ALWAYS!!! Saying that let me start telling you about my weekend. Every year I go to two yarn exhibitions: Yarndale and the Edinburgh Yarn Festival. The reason why is because I like the spirit behind them. They both...
I meant to write more about this month’s blanket at the weekend but I got sidetracked by non-crochet related things… So back to Paris, macaroons and obviously crochet!

I thought I’d write an update on the blanket I’m currently making. I must say it has not been plain sailing, maybe it is because the task to transform an idea into reality, especially if it is something that you are passionate about, is never easy. If you have read my previous post, you might...

As you probably knew already, last weekend, I went to my first STYLECRAFT’S BLOGSTARS meeting. It will take all week for the experience to sink in and I am still in the process to write a blog entry about what I saw , who I met and millions of ideas and exciting new projects, but...
