BLOG

Welcome to my world

Here you will find all kinds of random chit chat from me about the world of crochet and the other things I get up to.
From posts about new yarns, to progress and sneaky peeks of new projects I am working on, walks on the beach or in nature, or maybe ramblings about my travels.

I am a Stylecraft Blogstar, and anything blogstar related will be posted here.

For tutorials or patterns and designs, please look at the drop down menus above to find the different catagories.
