Ditsy Pips

Ditsy Pips Welcome to Ditsy Pips! I run crochet courses and one off workshops from my studio in Fifield.

Ditsy Pips came about when I began making things for my beautiful daughter. What started as a hobby has grown to a love of making and designing. I am a full time mum to two young children and everything I sell has been handmade by me (and mostly inspired by them!) As I make everything at home and to order I am able to accommodate custom requests and many of my items can be personalised, so if you

see something that you like but want it in a different size or colour, please just send me a message. I really hope you enjoy having a look at my page - please do check out my Etsy shop too www.etsy.com/uk/shop/DitsyPips

Hook Handles, Buttons and Beads workshop

*News*

As some of you may be aware, a few weeks ago my landlord contacted me and asked me if I'd like to consider moving to a different location. It was a kind offer on his part and the new space was in a lovely spot, but my heart has always been in the studio I'm currently in, so I have opted not to move. However, this unexpected offer has triggered a lot of hard thinking on my part about the future. After an awful lot of soul searching and a few sleepless nights, I've made the decision that it's time for me to stop teaching and look for alternative employment.

I started this business when my children were small so that I could be around for them as much as possible. I have spent the last 11 years working mornings, evenings, weekends and frequently into the wee small hours. For the last few years this has been 6 days a week to stay on top of all the changes through covid and the cost of living struggles. It's time to find a different rhythm to my life for a while.

I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for all the support I have received. I have so loved being able to share my passion for crochet with so many diverse, interesting and brilliant people, and there has been so much laughter and joy. Thank you to everyone who has bought a pattern, attended a course or come along to a workshop or club.

I'm not entirely sure what the next few months will look like yet. I'm in the process of job hunting and won't be able to confirm when the studio will close the doors for the last time until all of that is sorted. This will be the last summer teaching though and I'm not anticipating any classes going ahead in the autumn. I am at the moment fully intending to keep both the business and chat pages going, I'm always going to be around to help if anyone needs it. I also think that I will most likely keep designing even after the studio has gone. I know a few of you I have spoken to in person have also talked about an informal evening meet up session in a pub or other venue as a possibility for the future and I'll post an update on that when I know more.

I have a few spaces available on both the scrap yarn and yarn dyeing workshops, and the finishing off sessions and will post more info on those separately. I'm also going to look and see if I can fit in some additional sessions over the summer for anyone who would like to come. There will also be a big sale of stock from the studio - details will be posted on here when I have them.

To all of you who have come along and picked up a hook, made one of my patterns, recommended me to others, liked and shared my posts, thank you for your support, it has meant more than you'll know.

Why not come and have a go at something a little different? There are still spaces available on the Hook Handles, Buttons and Beads polymer clay workshops on Sunday 22nd June, 9.30-11.30am and Sunday 6th July, 9.30-11.30am. These workshops will be run both by me and by the lovely Sian Burridge, who used to be a professional potter. Learn how to use polymer clay to make your perfect crochet hook handles, while Sian will show you how to make beautiful uniform shaped and textured buttons and beads - perfect accessories to adorn your crochet projects.

The workshops are £35 per person, all materials provided. Finished items will be taken away and baked by me, then available for collection within a few days. Please message me or comment below to book.

Lots of lovely things going on at the studio this summer! Watch this space for more info on the workshops.

After a very beautiful Easter weekend, it's all gone a bit grey and rainy today. I don't really mind, truthfully, as the peas and cabbages I planted on Friday could definitely use it, but I thought I'd share a bit of summer colour to brighten up the day anyway. This is the May half term project I've designed for Crochet Club, and I'm so looking forward to making it with everyone!
