Easter Creations 🐇🐣

Now that spring has sprung and easter is just around the corner, I've been working hard creating these adorable baskets and egg covers.

Disclaimer: Several creme eggs were harmed during the making of these!

As my first commercial make, these are currently only avaiable for sale in my local area (Glasgow) but if there's interest I can look into getting them posted further afield.

I'm still working on writing up the pattern but I just couldn't wait to share these with you all. I will get the patterns finished off and onto my etsy as soon as possible for anyone who wants to create their own ahead of Easter!

Meet REX the amigurumi T-Rex

When my fellow geologist announced she was pregnant with her first baby back in 2017, my woolen brain knew exactly what to make... an amigurumi Dinosaur! The hunt was on for the cutest pattern I could find. After hours of searching and seeing so many beautiful patterns I finally went with this adorable T-Rex by Kristel (available as a free download https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/t-rex-amigurumi)

Having started him back in 2017, he was not only my first amigurumi project but also one of the first proper crochet projects I had done since childhood. As a result, multiple errors were made but a lot of new teachniques were learnt.

Hello! I'm Anna Louise Turner and welcome to my page of woolen creations.

Since leaving my job in 2020 I found myself focusing more and more on my crochet and knitting (as well as planning for travel across Europe, when such luxuries are allowed again) and decided to lean into my refounded passion.

Before posting any content I wanted to introduce myself (who doesn't love an ice breaker, eh?), so I've selected a group of photos to give you a little insight (and hopefully a chuckle) of myself. I grew up in the north west of England, moving to Glasgow to do my degree in Earth Science and stayed on working (until recently) as a Geotechnical/ Environmental engineer. A few of my favourite things include family and friends, the great outdoors, geology, music and gigging, food (specifically all things potato), sudoku, fluffy socks, gin and, of course, crochet and knitting.
