A BIG custom octopus has landed at The Crafty Cottage! 💙

Our big octopus in the shop has become a bit of a celebrity, so it was only a matter of time before someone needed one of their very own!

This one is a custom order, made using the gorgeous Bernat in Blue Lagoon — and I’m absolutely in love with how this colourway has turned out!

And yes… you can have one too! 🐙

Whether you want something bright and colourful, soft and neutral or completely bonkers… I’ll work my crochet magic!

🧶 If you’re looking to take your crochet to the next level… this book is well worth adding to your collection!

I’ve been having a read through Crochet Secrets by The Knotty Boss, and I have to say… it’s brilliant! 👏

✨ Over 100 crochet tips & tricks
📖 Clear, step-by-step instructions
📸 Plenty of detailed photos
🧶 Perfect for building your confidence and improving your skills

I’ve personally purchased many of The Knotty Boss’s printables and patterns over the years and have always found them incredibly designed and written. If you don’t already follow her, I’d definitely recommend checking out her Instagram too for lots of crochet inspiration!

Have you read it yet? I’d love to hear what you think!

✨ A little shop update for today! ✨

We’ve got two large groups visiting today—one this morning and another this afternoon—so it’s going to be a busy day at The Crafty Cottage! 🎨🥳

Because of this, there won’t be any drop-in crafts available today.

🧶 The good news is the shop is still open as usual, so if you’re popping in for yarn, haberdashery, craft supplies, handmade gifts or a takeaway paint your own, we’d love to see you!

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to welcoming our groups for a fun-filled day of crafting!
