This poncho pattern is based on the Eloelai Go Anywhere Cover-Up.The design is neat and lends itself well to a poncho as it has a good drape to it.

This bunting is really satisfying to make and looks really pretty and welcoming wherever you choose to hang it. I made it after completing the Eloelai Beats Per Minute blanket, as I find making the hearts really relaxing. I have put it on our headboard, but I think it would look beautiful in the garden when the weather is nice, or in your hallw...

After a lovely walk along the beach in January I realised that, although I had worn a hat, it didn’t quite cover my ears entirely. I don’t know about you, but I get headaches when the wind is in my ears. Once I got home, I had a look for patterns so I could make myself a winter headband. As usual, I didn’t quite find one that quite ticked all t...

I came up with the idea for this blanket because I wanted to create something positive out of a traumatic event in my life. In 2017 I suffered a cardiac arrest - thankfully I have an ICD (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator), so, although I lost consciousness and collapsed, I my heart was shocked into a rhythm and I recovered. I struggled to...

As the name would suggest, this was made as a bespoke birthday gift for my sister. She had requested a bag “with enough space for keys, phone and a book”. I chose the Fan and V-stitch design as it’s so pretty (it reminds me of Broderie Anglaise) but it’s also a close stitch, which will retain its shape, as well as ensuring things can’t pop out ...

I made this summer cover-up whilst on holiday in the beautiful Suisse Normande. The weather was wonderful (for the most part!) but could be cool in the evenings, so I needed something light and airy to throw on when we went out for meals. The design came about as I wanted a bit more pattern to the stitching than repeated row upon row, so I left...

I love the soft, cushiony feeling of the corner-to-corner stitch, so I decided to use it for a baby blanket as a colleague of mine was on maternity leave. As I was making her blanket, I realised that a cosy throw for my bed would look great in c2c too, so I hooked one up in this lovely oatmeal as a side project. (Molly the cat thinks it’s great!)

If you’re out and about, isn’t it nice to have a coffee or tea with you? Most cafes will offer you a paper cup with a thin cardboard sleeve. There are two problems with that: one is that the cardboard is never quite enough insulation for me, meaning I tend to struggle with the heat coming through the cup and the sleeve. The second is that the c...

I absolutely adore the simplicity of ponchos; how they provide warmth without being cumbersome and how the drape

I absolutely love this cover-up! It gets so many compliments and is extremely easy, warm and comfortable to wear. I’m using it bunched up over a winter coat during these colder months, but will wear it more like a shawl as the weather warms up. It can be worn any way round, with the fringe at the side, front or back. Hook it up and decide how y...

I hate having cold hands, so will always wear gloves once the weather turns, but get frustrated with
