I loved testing this pattern for Audrey @simplejoysmakingtoys . Such a well designed and easy to follow pattern for both beginners and experienced knitters. This technique of layering knitted rectangles is so effective to create a unique texture and look. It’s a solid piece for either display or as a toy for play. It will be different sizes depending on the yarn thickness you use. Have fun with it! I did!

I have been testing this Super cute hedgehog pattern for Audrey @simplejoysmakingtoys I love how it has turned out! The process imitates paper quilling. The pattern will be released in the next few weeks. In the meantime go check out her other amazing projects, I will be doing the bee at some stage to hang at work. #hedgehog #quilling #funkymakers #funwithcrochet #crochetdesign #crochetcommunityuk

I’ve finished the #mpgrannybloom cushion cover test for @makingpolly and it looks fabulous 😍. I will find a cushion pad to fit and take a nice photo soon! Such a lovely project to work on and I honestly think this Granny Bloom will be the next ‘hot trend’ in crochet. I can’t wait to see what else Pauline does with it. 🌼🌼🌼

Another fabulous pattern test for @makingpolly #grannybloom. Loving how this is turning out. Very clever construction of the granny bloom and I think it has so much potential for other projects!

Fabulous Diorama Heart pattern which I tested for my crochet friend @makingpolly . I used greens and blues so that I could add it to our February green hearts #sharethelove board at @greenerandcleaneruk Hub where people have been making various types of hearts to add to the board or making artwork to express their love for the planet.

I have two roles at Greener and Cleaner, Events Coordinator is my day job and Head of Crafts and Upcycling is my volunteer role and I love both! (I did not Coordinate our amazing Christmas Fair though….that was totally our amazing volunteers led by the fabulous Tanya).
