Crochet: Cowl
We are often inclined to cover up our mistakes, hide our regrets, fears and failings to be the person we think society wants us to be. It’s time we embrace our pasts and show our scars, they are beautiful and make us who we are. The Snagged Stitch cowl uses 24 scraps of yarn, perfect for using up scraps or Advent Calendar yarns.

Crochet: Scarf
It’s been a rollercoaster of a year here at The Fibre Lounge, and this scarf sums it up for me. Ups, downs and merry go rounds. It comes to a point at both ends with one increasing on one side and the other decreasing on the opposite side.

Crochet: Mittens
When making my Christmas pressies this year, I designed these geometric mittens, which I think look like twin peaks in a mountain range.

All of the instru...
Crochet: Decorative - Other
This heart is not uniform, it is not symmetrical, it is not perfect. But it is beautiful, just like you, and me and all of us. In the run up to Valentine’s Day, we get consumed by the ideals of love and romance, frustrated that we perhaps aren’t as loved up as the next Facebook couple – or perhaps we are just happy being single and have no inte...

The Heart in a Cage scarf was my first filet crochet pattern, and it is still one of my favourite things to make.

This is made using an aran cotton with a 6.5mm hook, I used Mondial Bio-Soft cotton
Crochet: Cowl
This cowl got it’s name from the first one I made, Social Media proclaimed it looked like noodles…lovely fluffy cosy ones though!
