Introducing ‘Beaches’ a freeform crochet/knit handbag, inspired by the golden sands & blue waters of Australia….
The colours & textures for this piece have been in my mind for a long time & I’m so happy to finally have it done – little knitting, some Tunisian & of course lots of crochet motifs all came together beautifully I think….
just finished the last of this collection of lariats – I used cotton yarns for easy wear & care, glass &, in some items, wooden beads & Clones Knots. Each lariat has been individually freeformed so no 2 are ever the same & joined with a crochet tube that sits comfortably on the neck. I’ve named these pieces Tangles for obvious reasons & I’m so very delighted with the results….
As promised, I finally have this pattern duet done & dusted – I trust both patterns will be easy to read & understand & provide many hours of happy crocheting….
PDF Crochet Pattern, Spiral Beanie & Cowl Set ~ A super flattering accessory duet ~ 2 easy to follow patterns that can be adapted to suit sizes small, medium & large – see my patterns 4 sale page

As with all my recent patterns I like to think that even the most basic beginner will be able to have a go.
I’m a bit late posting this year – why is time whizzing by at such breakneck speed?
So…. it’s that time of year again when all the beanie nuts come out of the woodwork to show off their creations at the Alice Springs Beanie Festival & what a wonderful collection of talent there is to see again this year – take note of my cyber friend, Megan Jack’s entry… she receive a well deserved special mention for her amazing beanie ‘Under Ones Sun’ in the Loveliest Madcap Category – hopefully one day I’ll get to visit this fabulous Aussie event….
Here are my entries for 2010
‘Blue Mountains’ – A freeform Crochet snood – lots of bullions, spirals, tunisian patches & a scattering of beads to add some bling
‘Country Life’ – is an upcycled beanie made from an old woollen jumper that has been felted then cut & sewn into shape – corkscrew tassels added to the crown to finish
