On a recent visit to the big city (beautiful Sydney, Australia) my senses were totally ambushed by the hustle & bustle, the perpetual activity & chaos of the place – non-stop traffic streams, roundabouts, flickering buildings, sun struck glass & chrome & unexpected parklands – relax, I told myself… embrace the colours, textures & ambience – ‘Urban Blues’ evolved & is the compilation & impressions of those city images.
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….

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….
Oh.. no, not me… how I wish…
2 of my favourite items, ‘Side Show Alley freeform wrap & Summer Harvest freeform bag’ are now on their way to the USA – I’m always so thrilled when any of my freeform pieces find good homes but not only that, I feel inspired to create something new & of course reason to explore the craft shops for new & exciting yarn
