just discovered – The Clone Stitch….

Ok… so it’s been around for donkey’s ages (re: Irish Crochet) but I’ve only just discovered this amazing little stitch & have been incorporating it into my freeform work – although traditionally worked in cotton thread, I’ve been experimenting with different yarns & hook sizes & the results are fabulous – you’ll find the instructions on Novel stitches if you’d like to give it a go … experiment & have fun….

Crochet Tips & Tricks update….

just finished this new page adding to the Crochet Tips & tricks collection with what I trust is useful & helpful information for bringing  in new yarn & joining crochet fabric, squares & motifs & hopefully enhancing both your tradition & freeform work – enjoy….

Crochet Handy Hints Pages…..

I’ve been planning this little exercise for some time now & finally found the time to put together these pages of handy hints, hopefully… answering some of the many questions I’m often asked – This is only a beginning… there is so much more to come but I think I’ve made a good start – if only one hint helps one person, I’ll call it a success – stay tuned, I’ll be adding more bits & pieces regularly
