Anyone who has seen Australia’s beautiful Acacia in its full-bloom glory will appreciate the lovely warm tones that inspired this little handbag – although I rarely keep track, I think I may have incorporated over 40 different yarns when creating this piece….
Everyone who knows me, knows I’m not really a knitter but when I found Myra Wood’s book ‘Crazy Lace’ last year & discovered this new approach to knitting, I knew this was right up my alley – I just love the freedom of doing what I like…
here are 2 pieces I’m particularly pleased with
I’ve kept this freeform piece under wraps for far too long & think it’s time for it to see the light of day – Crystal Grove is a special favourite of mine because it was inspired in a remote forest reserve where I often go for solace and inspiration which influenced the colours, textures and mood of this composition.

A truly unique, one of a kind garment – I hope you like it…

Instructions are given in both UK & US terminology
As with all my recent patterns I like to think that even the most basic beginner will be able to have a go.
Over that past few months I have received a lot of mail from people asking about the Tunisian Crochet Technique which has led me to compiled this tutorial – I trust the reader will find it to be a comprehensive journey through the Tunisian basics & that it encourages them to delve deeper into this exciting crochet technique – My aim in writing the tutorial was to build confidence so that once you understands the basics you will venture out & explore the multitude of stitch combinations available.
