Crochet has been my way of switching off from everything else lately 🧵🌸
It’s been one of those weekends…
a little bit of crochet work, a slow breakfast out, a wander around the charity shops—and then coming home to this.
A long-overdue crochet WIP (years in the making 🙈),
a big cup of tea,
and some quiet, mindless stitches.
There’s just something about it…
the rhythm, the repetition, the way everything else goes a little quieter for a while.
➡️ I’d love to know—what’s your version of this?
The thing you reach for when you need a moment of calm 💭 Tell me below 👇🏼
▪️▪️▪️
Little sidenote…
I was honestly blown away by the response to my tester call on my last post 🥹
I’m so grateful (and a little overwhelmed!) and I wish I could choose everyone. I’ll be getting back to all testers by tomorrow and the pattern will be heading out tomorrow evening 💌
Thank you so much for being here 🤍

Ready just in time for a cup of something warm… ☕🌼
As you may have noticed I’ve been quietly working away on this project over the past couple of weeks, and I’m so happy to finally share the finished piece with you…
Cottage Garden Coasters 🌼
They’ve already made their way into my daily tea breaks, bringing that soft, vintage-inspired feel I absolutely love!
I’m so pleased with how they’ve come together—the daisies look so pretty against the chequered green background, and it’s been such a satisfying crochet project to build piece by piece.
Made using scrap yarn, it’s a lovely reminder of what you can create from just a few small leftovers… simple ideas, growing stitch by stitch 🌿
And I don’t think this is where it ends… I’ve got lots more ideas for where this could go next 👀
➡️ Don’t miss the pattern + free tutorial coming soon 🌼
➡️ Also… are you team tea (like me 😀) or team coffee? ☕

Crochet and the seasons just go hand in hand, don’t they? ☀️🧶
As soon as the weather starts to warm up, I always find myself reaching for lighter, brighter projects… and somehow it *always* leads me back to crocheting flowers 🌼
There’s just something about floral crochet that feels right this time of year.
Do your crochet projects change with the seasons? Or do you stick to the same kind of makes all year round?
🌼🌸🌻🏵️🌷🌺

It started with scrap yarn… 🌼
then one daisy, then more…
then one daisy square… and now just look.
I’m so pleased with how this is all coming together. The daisies look so pretty against the chequered green background, and it’s been such a satisfying crochet project to build piece by piece.
It’s amazing what you can make from a few small scraps of yarn—simple ideas, growing stitch by stitch… and definitely sparking more ideas along the way. 🌿
Almost there… 🌼
keep an eye out for the final make.

Turning flowers into something more… 🌼
What started as a simple crochet daisy is now becoming a mini crochet granny square 🟩
There’s something so satisfying about this part—watching the shape change and build stitch by stitch into something completely new.
These are quick, easy and use just a tiny amount of scrap yarn… but they’re already starting to come together into something special.
➡️ Did you guess they’d turn into granny squares? 👀

I might have made a few more… 🌼
It started with just one daisy… and somehow turned into a whole little collection.
There’s something so satisfying about repeating the same simple crochet pattern and watching it grow stitch by stitch.
Made from small scraps of yarn, each one comes together so quickly—and it’s hard to stop at just one.
