I’m a few days late posting this, but the end of the week was a little tricky and I’ve also been getting stuff sorted for my brother’s charity walk. Ready to share my last (current) baby cardigan though. I made…

Yesterday I finally got to go on the falconry experience that Dave bought me for my birthday last year (getting married and our honeymoon kind of meant it got delayed by a few months!). I had such a good time!…

Happy New Year, crochet gang!I finished this chonk of a blanket that I mentioned in my stories a few weeks ago. Didn't manage to get as much yarn as I needed, due to it being discontinued, but never mind!What do you think?#crochetshaz #crochet #crochetersofinstagram #crocheting #crocheter #crochetaddict #giantcrochet #crochetblanket #bernat #bernatyarn #bernatpopbulky #grannyblanket #folksy #folksyseller #purple ...

Hey strangers! Long time, no speak. Hopefully this is me back for good now.Where have I been? Well, I sadly decided to pull out of the Christmas Market in Cerne Abbas this Saturday. I was getting too stressed about stock levels, and was dreading it...which should never be the case. I will still be going along to support the other makers but won't be selling. Instead of making Christmas stock for other people, I decided to make Eleanor's advent calendar (which I've been putting off every year to stock my shop). It's felt really good to be selfish for a change!Pattern is from @simplycrochetmag many years ago!#crochetshaz #crochetersofinstagram #crochet #crocheting #crocheted #crochetaddict #crochetlover #crochetinspiration #christmascrochet #crochetadventcalendar #adventcalendar #simplycrochet #scheepjes #scheepjesstonewashed ...

Hey there, Christmas Puddings!Hope you're all doing well. I've finally got my mojo back and it feels great 👍🏻 I've been working on these lovely little Santa gnomes (pattern by @natura_crochet) lately 🎅🏻 Aren't they cute!They will eventually end up in my @folksyhq shop (nearer the time) but I also want to let you all know that I'll be back at the Cerne Abbas Christmas Market again this year, on 2nd December! You'll find me surrounded by some wonderful festivities and lots of yummy food!#crochetshaz #crochet #crochetinspiration #crocheting #crocheting #crochetersofinstagram #instacrochet #crochetlove #christmascrochet #amigurumi #amigurumilove #amigurumidoll #Christmas #santa #gnome #hohoho #cerneabbas #cerneabbaschristmasmarket #datesforyourdiary #christmasmarket ...
