🎉 10,000 Website Visitors! 🎉

This milestone isn't just about numbers — it's about people choosing to support a small independent business. 💚

Every website visit, workshop booking, yarn purchase, share, recommendation and kind word helps keep our little crochet corner growing and thriving.

Reaching 10,000 visitors is something I'm incredibly proud of, and it's all thanks to the amazing support from this wonderful community. 🧶

When you support a small business, you're supporting a dream, a family, and a passion that has been built stitch by stitch.

Thank you for helping Creative Crochet by Shani reach this fantastic milestone. Here's to the next 10,000 visitors! 🏆✨

⚠️ Travel Update ⚠️

Just a heads-up that we may be a little late opening this morning.

The A419 is currently closed at White Hart in both directions, so we'll be taking an alternative route. Unfortunately, lots of other people will be doing exactly the same thing, so delays are likely.

We'll get there as soon as we can and keep any disruption to a minimum.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. 🧶💕

🧶 Yarn Delivery Update 🧶

Unfortunately, our latest King Cole yarn order has been delayed and is now not expected to arrive until next week.

We apologise if we don't have the specific yarn you need this weekend. As a small independent business, delays like this are sadly out of our control, but we're keeping everything crossed for a speedy delivery.

We still have plenty of other lovely yarns in stock, so do pop in and see what treasures you can find while we wait for the King Cole shelves to be replenished!

Thank you for your patience and continued support. 💚🧶

🧶🤣 CROCHETERS... BE HONEST! 🤣🧶

You're in a yarn shop.

You only popped in for one ball of yarn.

Twenty minutes later you've somehow spent £47.85 and are carrying a bag the size of a small sheep.

What happened?

A) The yarn jumped into my basket.
B) It was on offer. I'd have lost money not buying it.
C) I needed one colour... then it looked lonely.
D) I blacked out and woke up at the till.
E) None of the above. I regret nothing. 😎

Tell me your answer below ⬇️

And remember...

Crochet doesn't solve all your problems...
..but neither does housework, so I'd rather crochet. 😂🧶

🧶 WEDNESDAY WIP DAY! 🧶

Right then, crochet friends... it's confession time! 😂

❓How many projects have you currently got on the go?

🧶 One sensible project?
🧶 Three because you couldn't decide?
🧶 A basket full of "I'll finish that later" projects?
🧶 Or are you one of those rare mythical creatures who actually finishes one before starting another? 👀

And if you've recently finished a project, we'd LOVE to see it!

📸 Pop your photos in the comments below and show off your hard work. Whether it's your first granny square or your fiftieth blanket, we're here to celebrate every stitch. ❤️

👇 Tell us your current WIP count below...
(No judging here... unless it's less than three! 😂)

🧶☁️ What a lovely cool day... absolute bliss! ☁️🧶

After the heat of the last week, today has been a welcome change and I'm certainly not complaining! 😍

As always, there's lots going on behind the scenes here at Creative Crochet by Shani, with workshops, new projects, stock orders and plenty of exciting plans bubbling away. 👀🧶

We've had a huge flurry of workshop bookings come through today for July and August, which is fantastic to see! ❤️

If you're thinking about booking yourself, the children or grandchildren onto a workshop during the summer holidays, I would recommend booking sooner rather than later as spaces are already starting to disappear.

🧶 Absolute beginners welcome
🧶 Ages 6+
🧶 Small friendly groups
🧶 Left-handers welcome
🧶 All materials available in store
🧶 Multi award-winning tutor with 40+ years of crochet experience

Now I'm off to enjoy the cooler weather while it lasts... and maybe even have a cheeky biscuit with my crochet! 🍪😂
