When was the last time you did something just for you? šŸ¤

Life gets busy. Work, family, washing, cooking, messagesā€¦ there always seems to be something that needs doing or someone who needs something.

But sometimes you need to fill your own cup too.

Make a cuppa, pick up your crochet and give yourself a little time to switch off. No rushing. No pressure. Just the calming rhythm of the stitches and a little time to breathe. šŸ§¶

Even an hour thatā€™s completely yours can feel pretty special.

It might just look like crochet, but itā€™s so much more. šŸ¤

Every kit I pack is going to someone whoā€™s about to sit down and make something with their own hands. šŸ§¶

And then messages and reviews like these come back. šŸ„¹

Knowing that someone has enjoyed their kit, found the tutorial easy to follow and wants to make something else afterwards genuinely means so much.

It might just look like crochet, but itā€™s so much more. šŸ¤

How many times have you looked at something and thoughtā€¦

ā€œI could never do that.ā€ ā¤ļø

But maybe you donā€™t need to be able to do it yet.

Maybe you just need the chance to learn.

Thatā€™s one of my favourite things about teaching crochet. Watching someone go from having absolutely no idea where to start, to making something with their own two hands and being genuinely proud of themselves. šŸ„¹

It might start with learning how to hold a hook or making your very first stitch.

But every little ā€œI did it!ā€ builds confidence.

And eventually that thing you were convinced you couldnā€™t do becomesā€¦

ā€œLook what I made.ā€ ā¤ļø

Never underestimate what youā€™re capable of learning.

Youā€™ve got this. šŸ§¶ā¤ļø

Sofa and cosy blanket kinda weekend. šŸ¤

Thereā€™s something even better about snuggling under a blanket youā€™ve made yourself. šŸ„¹

And if youā€™ve always fancied making one but thought it looked too difficult ā€” this one is made completely by hand. No needles, no crochet hook and no experience needed. šŸ§¶

Just super soft, squishy Cosy Cloud yarn and your own two hands.

With the cosy autumn evenings creeping in, I think blanket-making season has officially arrived. šŸ‚šŸ¤

Cosy Cloud yarn is available on the website if you fancy making your own

Have you ever looked at something crocheted and thoughtā€¦

ā€œIā€™d love to be able to make that, but I could never do it.ā€ ā¤ļø

I hear this so often.

But nobody picks up a crochet hook for the first time knowing what to do.

You learn.

One stitch becomes a row.
A few rows start to take shape.
And eventually youā€™re sitting there looking at something youā€™ve made with your own two hands thinkingā€¦

I actually did that. šŸ„¹

This little video is a snippet from one of my step-by-step tutorials ā€” and this is exactly why I make them.

I donā€™t expect you to already know what youā€™re doing. Iā€™ll show you.

Pause me. Rewind me. Watch the same bit ten times if you need to. Thereā€™s no keeping up with anybody else. You learn completely at your own pace. šŸ§¶

So if youā€™ve been watching from the sidelines thinking youā€™d love to learn crochet but youā€™re just not sure you could do itā€¦

Please donā€™t write yourself off before youā€™ve even given yourself the chance. ā¤ļø

You havenā€™t learnt yet.

Thereā€™s a big difference. šŸ§¶ā¤ļø

I was so pleased when I finally got the Bobbiny shelves looking lovely and fully stockedā€¦ and then you lot got to work! šŸ˜‚

I knew Iā€™d been busy, but it wasnā€™t until I compared these two videos that I realised quite how much cord has actually left the shelves.

And the best bit? Itā€™s all heading off to be turned into bags, baskets, placemats and all sorts of lovely creations. ā¤ļø

Now Iā€™ve just got to get the shelves looking like the first video again! šŸ˜‚

Thankfully, there should be another Bobbiny delivery arriving towards the end of this coming week. šŸ“¦šŸ§¶

šŸ§¶ Never crocheted before? This oneā€™s for you. ā¤ļø

Meet the new Cosy Sunday Snood Crochet Kit ā€” a lovely little project designed especially with beginners in mind.

It uses super chunky yarn, so it works up quickly (always satisfying! šŸ˜), and Iā€™ve made a step-by-step video tutorial so you can crochet along with me from your very first stitch right through to your finished snood.

Everything you need is included in the kit, and there are 11 gorgeous colourways to choose from. šŸ§¶

And if youā€™ve crocheted before? Itā€™s also one of those wonderfully quick, cosy makes that you can settle down with and enjoy.

No crochet experience needed.

Because every crocheter started without knowing a single stitch. Just take it one stitch at a time. ā¤ļø

ā€œIā€™d love to crochet, but I donā€™t think I could do it.ā€

If I had a pound for every time Iā€™ve heard thatā€¦ šŸ§¶šŸ¤

But hereā€™s the thing ā€” you donā€™t need to be naturally crafty. You donā€™t need to learn loads of stitches at once. And you definitely donā€™t need to get everything right first time.

Crochet is a skill, and just like any other skill, you learn it one little bit at a time.

Your first stitches might be wonky. You might pull them out and start again. You might pause the tutorial 15 times (weā€™ve all been there! šŸ˜‚).

Then one day you look down at something youā€™ve made and thinkā€¦

I MADE THAT! šŸ„¹šŸ™Œ

That feeling of pride is one of the things I love most about crochet.

So if youā€™ve been thinking ā€œI could never do thatā€, try changing it toā€¦

ā€œI havenā€™t learnt how yet.ā€ šŸ¤šŸ§¶

Iā€™m always being asked for beginner-friendly crochet projectsā€¦ and I think this one would be perfect! šŸ‘€šŸ§¶

Iā€™m thinking about turning my chunky snood into a complete beginner crochet kit. Itā€™s simple to make, works up quickly and you end up with something you can actually wear! šŸ¤

The kit would include everything you need ā€” chunky yarn, crochet hook and a step-by-step video tutorial where Iā€™ll show you exactly what to do from the very beginning.

And if blue isnā€™t your colour, thereā€™ll be 11 colours to choose from!

So, what do you think?

Should I make it into a kit? šŸ‘€šŸ‘‡

And if youā€™ve never crocheted before, would this tempt you to give it a go? šŸ§¶šŸ¤

Good news & bad news from Yarn Shop UK todayā€¦ šŸ˜‚šŸ“¦

The GOOD news šŸŽ‰ Iā€™ve packed loads of your weekend orders AND some of your September pre-orders are ready to go too! šŸ¤

The BAD newsā€¦ Royal Mail were supposed to collect this lot today and they didnā€™t turn up. šŸ˜¬

Which means I currently have approximately ZERO room to move and my house is starting to look suspiciously like a Royal Mail depot. šŸ˜‚šŸ“¦šŸ“¦šŸ“¦

Iā€™ve asked for an extra BIG collection tomorrow to take all of theseā€¦ plus everything else Iā€™ll have ready by then! šŸ˜…

Has anyone got a spare Royal Mail van? šŸššŸ˜‚
