Created with double threads of carpet wool yarn these pots are crocheted in 3 different sizes for your craft room or you could use in the bedroom for brushes, combs and makeup, the choice is yours. Carpet yarn is great for pots and baskets as the yarn is stiff and holds the shape nicely. As an alternative you can try using a thick strong yarn such as cotton, macrame yarn or sissal

I used so so soft Alpaca yarn from Yeoman yarns for this blanket. It is so full of texture and a beautiful addition to your home living or bedroom on those chilly evenings. Try out the waffle stitch and finish around the edges with the chain fringe - no fussy ends on this fringe

This blanket was real fun to make. I created a crochet mesh background and wove chains of colour all the way through the mesh. I made my own colour chart to follow. I so love the pretty colours for this and it is ideal as a gift for the new arrival

This hat is called Kaleidoscope because it just reminds me of those tins we had as kids. Turn the tin and you see lots of patterns. This hat is quite easy to knit in 2 different rib stitches. One for the rib edge and a different rib for the main body of the hat. It's so soft, warm and stretchy too

I like discovering new ways of doing things and whilst I was knitting I tried something new, voila! The top of the hat does look like a snowflake and is not difficult to knit. I contrasted the red to break it up with another colour, I think it works but choose your own colours from your stash
