Oh hiiii 👋🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I just wanted to pop on here after more than 6 months to give you all signs of life and to share this little beauty of a finish project 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is the 3-in-1 Monarch Butterfly Collar by crocheclipse 🌜🌚
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This was my second ever crochet project, and I finished it in July to gift to my wee girl’s 4th birthday.
I used mostly my own dyed yarn for this project in a range of 4ply (including sparkles) and on a smaller crochet hook so it would fit my daughter perfectly. This was such a fun project to work on and really kicked my mojo back into gear 🫶🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Life wise? All is well. Everything is actually very good. I miss you all, and I know I said I would continue to post on here, share videos and even bring yarn but honestly stepping away from the yarn world has done wonders for my life. The burn out was so severe you guys… I haven’t been able to even look at my studio for the last 6 months. Focusing instead on my daily job which keeps me very busy, occasional photography and family.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That said, without saying too much yet… the sun has sparked inside of me the desire to play with colours again, and I am slowly, cautiously and secretly dyeing yarn again behind the scene. I won’t show anything for a while longer though, I am going to wait to be 100% ready and stocked with absolutely no external pressure to create so that I can enjoy each part of the process to it’s fullest!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

But before the year end, I will be back with some stock for you all. Not much, but better than nothing 🩷
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Enjoy those photos of Roux frolicking in the early spring daffodils and blossoms, showing off her crochet piece 🙏🏼

🌙 The Apothecary Advent 🌙
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After much debating with myself, it’s official, I’m signing up for another Christmas Advent for 2026, perhaps even my last one -
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With the Studio Ghibli advent having been such a success, and the huge amount of orders coming to a close in the next few weeks, I will have a lot more time on my hands to be able to take on a project for the end of the year, which this time won’t be pushed aside until the last minute because of overextending myself 🙂‍↕️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Which means I am super excited to announce a theme I’ve been coveting for several years, a white whitch herbalist’s favorite.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Limited pre-orders going live on 29.03, more info to come soon 🤩🌙🥀

The Studio Ghibli Collection goes live in less than 2h!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Time to start sharing some Behind the Scenes of when I was working on this collection for the yarn advent.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This mini series will be more like a little vlog. Not many episodes, a bit chaotic and mostly disorganised, but full a real life BTS moments 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In this first episode I run you through how I approach my advent calendar and show you some of the process of creating the Arrietty colourway 🩷

The stitch markers!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3 adorable clay little soot sprites sprinkled throughout the fade, and a cute little beaded fish for Christmas Day!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As per usual the very talented .dice is the amazing artist that created the soot sprite. Each year I am so lucky that she is able to help me out to create such stunning creation that really elevate the whole advent 🩷
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The little fishes are made by me, and I will have them available on pre orders for the release of the collection too!

✨ Studio Ghibli Collection: Final Fade Reveal ✨

This is it: the final reveal of the full 24-mini fade. Every colour inspired by a Studio Ghibli film has now had its moment on its own, and today they finally come together, side by side, in one continuous natural gradient. What began as a daily unveiling has now reached its quiet conclusion, and this image shows the full story: how each film-inspired colour speaks to the next, how the palette breathes as a whole, and how the entire advent calendar flows as one complete body of work.

This fade was designed with intention and flexibility at its core. Colour #1 seamlessly follows on from colour #24, meaning the fade loops back into itself — you can start knitting from any point and continue endlessly in a harmonious cycle. Within the larger fade, there are also natural groupings of roughly three to six colours that can be lifted, rearranged, or worked on their own while still maintaining cohesion. Whether you knit the entire fade, work smaller projects by section, or rearrange the order to make something entirely your own, the structure invites creativity, play, and personal expression.

This collection has been a true passion project, one that required immense care, time, and heart. And with that, I want to share something important. In two weeks’ time, this Studio Ghibli Collection will be released as full skeins, available for pre-order. This will also be my final pre-order collection for pre-orders...
Since 2023, navigating financial pressure, a global recession, and an ever-growing list of responsibilities outside of dyeing has meant I’ve often been chasing my tail. Unable to create, deliver, and present yarn at the standard I hold myself to. Continuing in this way is no longer sustainable for me, creatively or financially, and from 2026 onward I will be stepping back from the business.
This final collection is my way of closing this chapter with intention… one last opportunity to create something meaningful, beautiful, and deeply considered for those who have supported my work over the years. Thank you for being here, for valuing slow art, and for allowing me to pour so much of myself into this journey. 🌿✨

Studio Ghibli Advent Calendar: Day 25
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Spirit of Ghibli
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This colourway is an homage to the shared soul that runs through every Studio Ghibli film. The quiet magic found in landscapes, skies, architecture, and the gentle spaces between moments.
Pastel pistachio greens, lavender, soft blues, and sun-washed yellows melt into one another, echoing the hand-painted backgrounds Ghibli is so beloved for: rolling flower fields, moss-covered paths, glowing skies, and villages bathed in soft light.
Overlays of aqua and mint reflect rivers, wind, and open skies, while fine rusty brown speckles ground the palette — a nod to earth, timber, rooftops, and the lived-in warmth of Ghibli’s worlds.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These colours aren’t tied to one story, but to all of them. The way nature and architecture are always lovingly illustrated, surrounding each character with beauty, calm, and wonder.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Spirit of Ghibli is a celebration of those quiet landscapes, those endless fields of flowers, and the feeling of stepping into a world where softness and imagination exist side by side, like in a watercolour dream. 🌱🌸

Studio Ghibli Advent Calendar: Day 24
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Spirited Away
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is time for our last mini and movie from this series, and I’m sure one of the most awaited ones!
Soft aquas and gentle mints echo the bathhouse steam and river spirit, while deep navy and inky aubergine reflect the quiet night scenes, shadowed corridors, and the mystery of the spirit world.
Warm flashes of peach and brick red are drawn from lantern light, Chihiro’s clothing, and the rich reds of the bathhouse itself. Together, these colours mirror the film’s balance of softness and darkness, innocence and strength.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Released in 2001, Spirited Away won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature (the first hand-drawn anime to do so) and has won the hearts of many, securing itself as one of the most iconic and reknown film from the production company.
