Hey everyone! Hope Thursday is being kind to you! I've had a couple of lovely messages with positive feedback from Enchanted Forest blanket club - there's always a little sigh of relief when you tell me that you love what you've received so thank you for taking the time to let me know! Thought I'd do a little post about patterns - with my Enchanted Forest blanket club I'm making these Finnish Granny Squares (doing the last round in undyed ready for joining at the end with a c

:: Cotton Paperchain Club! :: The first Paperchain club went out this week and has been so well received, I'm chuffed to bits! Its been wonderful to see how you've used yours - there's been bunting, mini chains, Christmas shapes, balls, cushions - crocheted, knitted and even Tunision crocheted! I'm plain knitting mine, managed to do two so far! :D Can't wait to start on next months! This was an experiment which went a bit wrong but then turned out perfect! I made it in the sl

Happy New Year to you all - I hope you had a wonderful festive time over Christmas! It seems a bit of a blur now but ours was lovely and the kids thoroughly enjoyed their two weeks off school! I was thrilled with the response to Cotton Paperchain club! Thank you so much for signing up! I thought I'd share some tips that I found useful - not just for this club but generally! For those that are knitting, I find the crochet cast on method the best! You don't have to try and judg

:: Clubs! :: This post is all about yarn clubs! Little packages arriving at your door each month for you to create something beautiful and unique with. I released my first club for 2018 - the Cotton paper chain club - yesterday and oh my goodness, you loved it, and all the spaces have been snapped up! I know there are a few of you that missed out so I'm going to see how I get on with the current number of sign ups and maybe release some more in the New Year! I really can't wa

Well the laces I mentioned in my last post seem to have worked! They are going to make some funky pink wellies even funkier! I think I need to add the to the website... would you agree?! I’ll have to see if I can get a photo of them laced up! Also today I did my first little pop up shop at the Little Green Frog play cafe in Lichfield! It was a fab afternoon and I had some lovely comments! It great way to dip my toe into public selling 🙂 Next time I need to remember business

My kitchen looks like a rainbow exploded in there tonight 😄 I’ve revisited dyeing laces today and they’re for a pair of wellies so at the request of my lovely customer I’m having a go at treating them to make them water resistant! I’m a bit excited 😆 I shall report back tomorrow! I’m off to do a bit of crochet with some yarn dyed in ‘ Colours of the month ’! Available to order on all Pima cotton weights! #rainbow #Handdyed #Indiedyer #ThreeVioletButtons #Crochet #Yarn #Lace

I've finally done it! I've managed to build a whole website! Eek! I first started this back in March (I promise not to take that long dyeing your orders!!) but was finding it tricky and gave up, then when I rebranded I thought I'd give it another go and stop being defeatist! Amazing what a bit of determination (and a shedload of patience) can do! I'm a little bit proud of myself and I really hope you like it! Blogging is something I've sort of done on and off but am hoping to
