✨ Throwback to the π™ƒπ™–π™§π™§π™žπ™¨ 𝙏𝙝𝙧𝙀𝙬! ✨

Did you know this design was inspired by the Isle of Lewis & Harris, off the north west coast of Scotland? πŸ”οΈ

I came across some photos from my trip there three years ago and couldn’t resist sharing them with you today. Swipe through to see the rugged landscapes, ancient standing stones, and even a little behind-the-scenes glimpse of Harris Tweed being made. ✨

Not long after this trip, I released the Harris Throw pattern - a design inspired by beautiful texture. Featuring an easy one-row repeat, it’s the perfect project to slow down and unwind with.

⭐️ Pattern: Harris Throw

Sometimes you just need a simple project with relaxing stitches, beautiful yarn, and a shawl growing row by row. ✨

Here’s a little sneak peek of the Agnes Shawl I’ve just started making with Twister yarn, and I’m already loving how this colourway is working up. πŸ§ΆπŸ’› The slow colour changes are going to look beautiful.

What are you crocheting (or knitting) today?

While I’m busy behind the scenes making granny squares, I thought I’d pop in and say thank you for all the love you continue to show the π˜Όπ™œπ™£π™šπ™¨ π™Žπ™π™–π™¬π™‘. πŸ’•

I first released this pattern six years ago, and it’s still one of the best sellers in my Etsy shop. It’s a simple, timeless design that’s perfect for customising in your favourite colours. ✨

I’ve currently got a new one on my hook using a beautiful colour changing yarn, and I’ll be sharing a little sneak peek with you soon! πŸ‘€πŸ§Ά

Whether you’ve made one already or it’s still sitting in your β€œto-make” pile, I’m so grateful for every share, tag, order, and kind comment on this design over the years. Seeing your versions of the π˜Όπ™œπ™£π™šπ™¨ π™Žπ™π™–π™¬π™‘ never gets old. πŸ’›

I can finally see the light at the end of my granny square production line - blocking time is almost here! 🧢✨

I’m loving every step of designing this new granny square pattern. It’s definitely a process that takes time: perfecting the square, making and blocking them all, joining everything together, adding the border, then writing and editing the pattern with photos and video tutorials. Then, after the testing stage and final tweaks, it’s time to get everything ready for release. It’s a lot of work, but I genuinely love every part of it. πŸ’– I cannot wait to share this one with you - more updates and a tester call coming soon. ✨

What are you working on this week? I’d love to hear what’s on your hook (or needles)!
