New Christmas Advent Blanket CAL
Join in with my new free Christmas Advent CAL blanket!
Spring Has Sprung Blanket
This is my latest pattern design. I've never created a filet crochet pattern before so it was a bit of a learning curve. I really enjoyed making this pattern it was so easy to do. I've also made the falling blossom flowers part of the pattern - so no appliques ! Hope you like it!
Hobby Craft Granny Square CAL
My design was lucky enough to be chosen as part of this years @knitcrafthq granny square CAl.
New Unicorn Dreams Blanket
I made my daughter a slightly different version of the unicorn dreams blanket - less bobble hearts!
Cath Kidston Inspired Hot Water Bottle
As the weather is getting cold, my work place at the day job is freezing! I decided to take hot water bottles in for myself and my colleague. I made them to match the fingerless mitts pattern.
It fits a 1litre hot water bottle. I've added the pattern onto the mitts one.
If you purchased the original pattern on Ravelry, I've added an update - you will now have 2PDF's.
On Etsy I sent emails with the pattern to everyone who purchased it.
Cath Kidston Inspired Fingerless Mitts
These are my Cath Kidston inspired fingerless mitts pattern. I want to make granny square mitts that looked like roses. I used my usual Stylecraft Special DK yarn and a 3mm hook. I have been making lots of pairs of these for Christmas presents!

Unicorn Dreams Cushion Pattern
I have finally uploaded the Unicorn Cushion Pattern to Ravelry. It has taken quite a while to write up all the pattern and have them tested. I have listed the patterns individually and as a complete cushion eBook pattern. I did this as I was asked about individual squares as some of you wanted to make blankets out of them.
I'm currently making a baby blanket out of 4 of the squares. I cant wait to see what squares you choose and what you make.

Unicorn Dreams Blanket
Welcome to the Unicorn Dreams CAL. Over the next few weeks I will be sharing all the patterns I created and used to create this blanket.
For this blanket I used Stylecraft special DK yarn in the following colours:
Candyfloss, Apricot, Lemon, Spring green, Sherbet, Clematis, Wisteria, White with a small amount of black for the facial features.
See WEEK1 of the CAL for the amount of wool required.
I used a 3mm and 4mm hook.
​
Tension is 19 stitches x 11 rows = 10cm using 4mm hook (working in rows of DC (UK TR) )
I crochet quite tight so my squares measured approx 12cm x12cm.
​
The squares are all made separately and then joined together with a continuous flat braid join. I made 49 squares but you can choose to pick and mix whichever squares you like.
The overall weight of the blanket was approx. 970g and it measured 107cm x107cm.
