I made a super quick and easy Christmas wreath. A $5 bag of loose leaves from a fake flower shop and cheap fake hibiscus pressed into a foam base with florist wire and pins

I’ve been seeing so many lovely Christmas Cactus in my feed- they put my crochet zygocactus to shame. My free crochet zygocactus pattern is now on Ravelry- just search ‘crochetspecs’ to find it.

Making this bag I couldn’t help thinking of clowns and the circus- not my favourite things. Now that it’s finished though I quite like it

Back away from the eggs. Harvey and I vainly attempt to stop everyone eating Easter eggs before Easter Sunday. Does anyone else still stick to this tradition?

I’m wearing all my own creations today- bag, dress and cardigan.

This experiment with Frida and fairisle knitting is now being made into a crochet bag. I’m not completely happy with my ‘Fairisle Fridas’ but I’ll keep working on it

Talk about feeling inadequate! My crochet pineapple crown definitely needs work and I wonder if pipe cleaners might be part of the answer?

At least I found a use for my ‘dud’ pineapple. Deb @bluebirdvintageperth - you can see why this vase caught my eye

Who knew there was such a thing as a ‘jog’ in knitting? When knitting stripes in rounds a jog is a visible step at the colour change. Thank you Mr Google- problem solved once again

This crochet bag was an experiment with colour and texture- now I can’t decide if I like it or not.

Inspiration struck on the weekend in the form of Solange’s ‘Losing You’ video on @rageabc . I love all of her clothes in that video! This is going to be a stripey knitted cardigan with a smattering of crochet flowers around the neck
