Now that these have all finally been gifted to their new homes, I am able to share some recent projects. Cheeky Charlie Chick and Flopsy Bunny have travelled to start a new life in The Falklands, Ballerina Bunny has made it to Todmorden so far, but will eventually be making a new home in London, Jerry giraffe has crossed the border to Cornwall and the carnations will be staying local to me to, hopefully, bring a cheer to a dear friend 😉

Wow! What a lovely message to receive via the ‘Hook & Yarn’ private WhatsApp community chat.

The creator of this beautiful bag attended a beginner crochet workshop in the summer, then decided she would like to discover what she could form from granny squares, other than blankets! This particular bag was formed from a ‘pick and mix’ pattern and colour combination of her own choice.

If you are looking for the ideal gift for the crochet fanatic in your life, send me a private message - alternative colour combinations are available.

I recently had the privilege of hosting a 2 hour private workshop for a mum and her 10-year old twin daughters. We covered the techniques of forming the basic stitches to get them all started on their hooking journey. I was absolutely delighted to receive a message and this photograph indicating how the girls had become addicted to their new hobby and the progress made in 24 hours, one of them producing this little pouch bag.

One of the biggest mistakes most new ‘hookers’ make, is stitch placement when trying to work straight sides and end up either increasing or decreasing, but not this young lady! Clearly she has understood and followed the instructions on the pattern and worked out the correct placement to produce a strap for her bag with beautiful straight sides.

If you would like to encourage your child’s creativity and bring out the designer in them, send me a private message to see what we might be able to arrange 😉

Today saw another ‘first’ for Hook & Yarn because, after nearly three years of running these workshops, there was finally a gentleman amongst the group who proved that men can hook too!

Come on chaps, the ice has been broken now - crochet is not just for girls, who else is going to step up and show their creative side?

I’m gathering interest for my next workshop so please send a private message for further information

‘Say it with flowers!’
A friend has been admiring my crocheted carnations and, given she has helped me so much recently with some sewing projects, I’ve made some for her (pink, lemon and white) as a thank you gift.
If you would like to be able to say thank you with a ‘home-made’ gift, let me know because I’m arranging a crocheted flower workshop in due course.

Today Hook & Yarn attended its first ever craft event and had a stand at The Okehampton Wool Gathering at Roadford Lake. A great experience, meeting lots of people interested in crochet, yarn, textiles and many other crafts and hugely successful for Hook & Yarn, particularly considering it was as a first time show exhibitor! Thank you to everyone who visited the stand and huge thanks to the organisers for all of your hard work. I’m looking forward to next year already 😉
