One of our staff members has resigned since she’s finished her training and is off to get a real job as a nurse. To mark the event, I’ve been making this doll for her:
Eventually, she’s going to have legs (I’m in the process of sewing her arms on in this shot) and she’ll be hiding [...]

WIP: Nurse Doll
WIP Wednesday already?
By gosh it is too. The doll, I am sad to say, is still shoved in a bag awaiting my bracing myself and finishing the arms. In the meantime, I’ve jumped into something mindless. This is just repeats of three – three trebles, three chains – so there’s no pattern and I can watch the [...]
WIP Wednesday: Dolly
Whatever the time stamp may say on this post, I am writing it at 11:56pm, therefore it’s still Wednesday. I know I skipped last week. The reason for that was I has just frogged attempt #1 at this project, and therefore had nothing to show. NOTHING! Nothing but a pile of crinkly crochet cotton. Oh [...]
WIP Wednesday: Still tree’d
Yup, still with the trees. The one on the right is done but for the decorations and the base, the one on the left needs a few more rounds, then the base. You can see on the left one I got smart and added the yarn decorations as I went. This is because it’s SUCKING [...]
Oops, forgot to post this.
I posted it to Crafster, but it never made it to the blog proper. My bad! Anywhoo, remember the Eiffel Tower I was working on a couple of weeks ago? Reminder:
Well I finally got it finished (I say finally, but it’s not like I worked on it for 9 years or anything.) It’s been handed [...]
WIP Wednesday: Oh Christmas Tree
Recently on a tour of the internets, I found the pattern for some ay-DORE-able felted Christmas trees. They are, however, knitted and I do not knit. I no longer say I can’t knit, because if I put my mind to it, I probably could. I just prefer not to, being way more comfortable with crochet. [...]
Completed Star
So remember the circle from yesterday? What do you mean you didn’t read this blog yesterday? Get out. OUT.
Those of you who DID read me yesterday may remember the yellow circle I claimed was a star. Well here’s the finished piece:
It’s considerably less tidy than the one by the original pattern lady, but it’s.. uh. [...]
WIP Wednesday 1
Okay bear with me here, well don’t actually because the pain in the bum behind the scenes stuff doesn’t bother you I suppose. I can’t upload from wordpress at the moment, because someone broke the doovalaki, so I’ve had to do these manually. It is a terrible strain, but I am sure I can cope.
So. [...]
Clearing the cobwebs
I think we’ve established I have too much yarn, and I tend to buy yarn without any good reason for doing so. However, last night, as I sat in a puddle of self loathing, I suddenly thought “Right! I’ll make myself something” so I zapped over to Spotlight. I was after a kind of lumpy, [...]
Eighty Eight?!
Apparently. What you see there is the 88 balls of yarn I have somehow aquired, which since I’ve only been crocheting for about 18 months, works out at about 5 balls a month, excluding the ones that have been used, of course. It also doesn’t include the 4 balls of incredibly shitty acrylic I just [...]
