Us crocheter's love an accessory or a gadget and the A1 Pro Max Electric Yarn Winder by Caydo is at the top for me ✨️

Nothing worse than a tangled yarn stash and we all have them, but this electric yarn winder creates the cutest yarn cakes and it is the most therapeutic, satisfying thing to witness 🧘🏽‍♀️

Easy to set up, different speeds, adjustable tension depending on the yarn weight, sturdy on flat even surfaces...just yarn cake baking heaven 🎂

Grateful for kindly gifting this to me. I can now attack that stash, to create and stack up some cute cakes, which in turn, gives me more space to buy more yarn! 🧶

What yarn should I try next?

I have 7 days to finish this, let's hope this becomes wider than what feels like a belt for Tenerife next week 😅

I'm crocheting a summer skirt with some Autumn vibes as we transition into the next season ☀️🍁

Nothing like a last minute project, it really helps my crojo though, nothing better than frantically squeezing in stitches anywhere and everywhere even in toddler conditions like you may have seen from yesterday's reel 😅

My goodness those ends will kill my love crochet when its finished though, shall I try and weave in as we go, let's see. What would you do?

Yarn: Yarnsmiths 4ply Cotton in Ecru, Cuppa Tea, Coffee Bean, Chocolate Brown, Burgundy, Claret Red, Copper, Ginger, Antique Gold and Mustard Yellow
Pattern: Granny Ripple stitch by Agnes Koch | AC | Modern Crochet | DE 🇩🇪
Hook: KnitPro | For Those Who Love To Knit

Unpopular opinion, but I did miss the children today, and I didn't miss rushing around and clock watching. Nothing more heart breaking, that your little ones feeling nervous or sad it is time to go back

Howeveeeer, us crocheters can crochet in the most unique places, but crocheting in a quiet space, and still, without in the background (top fans though) will be a nice change 😅

On a serious note, we all love a last minute, pressured project right? Do you think I can get this Granny Ripple Skirt finished by by Friday next week? 🦸‍♀️😬

A surprise trip to Albufeira, 11 years of marriage, and zero alarm clocks, perfect

​One of the biggest perks of a kid-free break is getting to wake up and immediately reach for my hook in the morning sun...plus having my husband on hand to act as my personal photographer for the weekend

​I loved styling my outfits with the Marina Shawl. This pattern was designed by the amazing Enida during our crochet retreat I worked it up using Go Handmade Bamboo Yarn. It is unbelievably soft against the skin and caught the Algarve breeze perfectly!

​Safe to say I was completely in my element: sunshine, quality time, and continuous crochet. ☀️🧶✨

No fancy mic, no full glam, and a pair of crochet shorts that turned out completely the wrong size

​Crochet started as a blissfully imperfect hobby for me, and let's keep it that way! I don’t want a polished feed or a staged setup. I just want the real, messy, trial-and-error reality of making

​We see so much perfection online, but the truth of handmade is 50% frogging, 50% hope, and a whole lot of starting over

Unravelling hours of work is frustrating, but it is just part of the process (and a great excuse to use yarn winder)

​So here’s to messy hair, no make up, raw audio, and giving ourselves permission to make mistakes!

These are the Piper Shorts designed by .fibers using the amazing Headliner Seaside Holiday kindly gifted from

​When was the last time you had to frog a project you spent hours on? Tell me I’m not the only one!
