Blogs That I Love: According to Matt

I love love LOVE Matt's blog! It's just so happy and colourful! There's a heap of beautifully photographed projects that makes me just want to crochet all day long! 

There's a great mix of crochet and travel photos ( both which i love!)

One project that I'm so inspired from is this beautiful granny stripe blanket. It just looks so cosy and warm! 

And check out this granny square button cushion that is so getting made- soon! 

They have a lot of colourful projects that you can use to get rid of that pesky stash all crochers have ( but might not admit!!) 

Check them out some time!!

Blogs That I Love: Attic 24

If you haven't checked out Lucy's blog Attic24 then you are missing out!

So much crochet rainbow goodness! Love it! She's got some amazing tutorials which are so simple to follow ( she even has photos to help!) Everything that she does is so delicious that I have to limit myself on how much I look!!

The Blooming Flower Cushion is so cute and very simple to make. And it works up fast! Like scarily fast! Its such a cut design that you could work into so many other projects!

Here's my attempts! Stay tuned for an update on what I've done with these!



Another gorgeous project and pattern is the Ripple Blanket- love it! I actually didn't use her pattern ( don't judge me!) But I love it all the same! The ripple is an amazingly easy blanket to work on and its so relaxing to crochet.

 << There's my first attempt. I was trying to use up some of my  never ending stash.


Whenever i need some crochet inspiration I look no further than Lucy's blog.

Hello!

Welcome to my little online blog where I'll be focusing on crochet.

I love to crochet. My mum taught me when I was about 11 then I forgot about it and finally picked up the crocheting hook again ten years later when I was 21. I lost my job and was out of work for about 6 months so to pass the time between job interviews and daily job searching I started to crochet again.

I love the thought of turning a simple ball of wool into an amazing piece of art. I love making blankets. I've tried the whole baby beanie thing and failed. Mainly because I didn't have a baby to model the hats and I couldn't determine the scale and size.

So here I am. I now am working ( at the moment- but who knows how long for) in my chosen career- graphic design. I still crochet every day while watching tv and right before bed and for several hours on the weekend. I live in a very sunny place in Australia where is near impossible to get decent selection of wool and craft supplies but luckily they invented the internet!

Hope you like my blog!
