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?

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!

I love a break in the Peak District 🌿

I just love a bit of peace and calm in this place. We all do as a family.

No matter what, my crochet comes everywhere with me. My gifted bag and yarn from the comes everywhere with me

Two lava tops in the making designed by I can't stop making them. Using Brick and Vintage Green in Coral Durable Yarn and I just love working with it

Have you ever been to the Peak District

Just posting one pretty picture 💙

It can get mentally exhausting thinking about what to post, when to post, how many pictures, loosing hours of crochet time to make a reel....so, here is just one.

One picture sharing what makes me happy, where it all started

💛 More pretty yellow stitches bringing me joy 💛

I am incredibly busy crocheting too many things at once as well as parenting consistently during the summer holidays, whilst working full time.....and... breathe Jazz!

It's been an exciting last few weeks, lots of things going on, mainly positive things may I add. I'm enjoying crocheting in the evenings and letting my little brain process it all

The Etna Cardigan designed by yarnS 🧶 Enida 🙋‍♀️ released today, I am a smidge behind but can't wait to show you, it is a stunning cardigan!

It is using Lana Gatto® yarn which is super dreamy and of course I chose yellow

Happy Sunday everyone, have a peaceful evening
