I woke up this morning at 4.13am. As I couldn’t get back to sleep I decided to get up and carry on with my crochet project of the past week (the Froufrou cardigan from Debbie Stoller’s The Happy Hooker).
This is the company I had.
Clearly Rinny can’t hack lack of sleep. I wonder how having a [...]

I made another hat!
I told you I’d have another crack at it!
I gave in & used a pattern from Debbie Stoller’s The Happy Hooker (the Seija Set, but without the blanket (obviously duh – got enough of those already – and not the stripy version because I only had this yarn). It went through [...]

I made a hat! It’s somewhat pixie-esque, but hey – the child’s got to know what kind of family it’s been born into!

I found a brilliant website the other day. I know the internet is host to a zillion things to make, but www.makebabystuff.com seems to encompass quite a few of them in one place; useful ones too – like how to make fitted crib sheets. That may be obvious to many, but not [...]
