I recently had the pleasure of testing this mini spider man pattern for Iri
This would be perfect as a key ring or bag charm. It's such a quick and easy to follow pattern, and best thing of all is that it is a no sew pattern, however i decided to crochet the eyes so that's the only part I had to sew on. Thank you Iri for letting me test this for you.

Another one of our summer trips.....this time it's Rome in Italy. We visited all the touristic sites, my favourite was definitely the colloseum.....so much history in one place! Aaminah really enjoyed exploring the city and her favourite was meeting Pinnochio and Geppetto, there was a whole store dedicated to Pinnochio and wooden toys! 😍

Doll pattern is by Crochet patterns, toys, gifts

We recently did a trip to Bosnia and words cannot describe how beautiful this country is. Here is a quick snap shot of Aaminah on her travels. Aaminah doll pattern is by Crochet patterns, toys, gifts, go check it out if you would like to create your own travel buddy!

We visited Sarejavo and Mostar and absolutely loved both places. SubhanAllah the beauty of Allah's creation, be it nature to humanity, has no limits. We saw stunning views, beautiful buildings with intricate detailings and all the Bosnians we came across were so friendly.Definitely a place I would love to return to one day In Shaa Allah.

The streets of Sarejavo and Mostar were filled with beautiful handcrafted shops and ofcourse Aaminah and I had to stop and admire all the crochet shops. ☺️ We enjoyed our chat with a local maker-Wool N Wood | Handmade Gifts. 💕

Personalised mini hijaabi doll.....on its way to it's new owner.
Hope she will make lots of sweet memories with her new doll. 💖🥰

Each bead is stitched individually to ensure they are securely in place as opposed to threading the whole name through in one go. 🪡🧶

The complete set in order....sorry it's taken me this long to share this picture.

I really hope the children will love to use these as part of their Arabic learning journey. I was honoured when asked to create a large size complete alphabet set to be used for teaching in Madrasah. Even though I'd never made or even thought about creating something like this, I was ready to accept the challenge. With perseverance and trial and error along the way, here is what the complete set looks like.

I can't wait to hear /see how the children and teacher use these for their learning,In Shaa Allah.

Completely forgot to share the finished Arabic alphabet set. Here they are! I'll post another pic soon of all the letters in order so you can see them properly.

I recently had the pleasure of pattern testing the 'Wanderline blanket' for Linda . This pattern is perfect for a stash busting project or one that has a more carefully planned out colour scheme. Just as the name suggests, let the lines wander as your blanket grows and watch it turn into a blanket that's wonderful! 🥰

The pattern actually suggests a simple single crochet border so that it does not detract from the beauty of the linear pattern, however I could not resist a round of crab stitch to finish it off. 🤭 (see third image)

Testing is still in progress and I'm enjoying seeing all the different versions, each blanket gives a different vibe due to the finished look. Make sure you check out my fellow testers and of course Linda's versions too! I'll tag each maker,please check out their work!

Thank you Linda for letting me be part of your testing team. 💖

The quickest pattern test I've ever done!

Tested this Frangipani flower for . Isn't it cute and the final look can be altered just by changing up the colours.

I do love to build up a collection of crochet flowers, and then use them for various projects. No doubt I'll be making more and then spending time contemplating what to do with them! 😂
