    Yay ribbing! I feel like this is the time to make an inappropriate joke, but no we are a G rated website! Haha! Annnnyway….. I saw this fun pattern from Koala Knits and Knacks and had to try it. I made this one in the child size for my nephew and the actual ribbing technique…

    Ok, soooooooo I thought it was time to try something crazy and pop an image onto a beanie. I did try a couple of purchased patterns but they just seemed a bit complicated for me as a beginner so I thought I’d make something a bit simpler 🙂 To attempt to make it easy I…

    Hi All, Back to an easy one, and boy o boy was the Caron Skinny cakes much better to work with than the Moda Vera reflections (although I do love the mermaid-esque shine). I find the Rainbow colorway interesting for small projects as you get a stack of very different items from the one cake,…

    I don’t know why this yarn fascinates me so much.. But I enjoy every time it hits the machine, it goes through so nicely and the colours are so vibrant. This time around I couldn’t resist a drop stitch scarf, it looked so satisfying and it was as fun as it looked!! I used as…

    Welp, sometimes you can have a happy accident! Again I thought I’d try a technique maybe a little above my paygrade 🤣, (in this case a Fair Isle beanie from the Koala Knits and Knacks Youtube channel) and it went pretty well .. until I somehow managed to do an extra patterned row. Which I…

    Well this yarn threw the cat amongst the pigeons! Ok once again my flair for the dramatic is taking the reins 😂. For starters the outside of the yarn looks nothing like the inside, if you compare the first image with the yarn ball and label with ALL the other images it seems like a…

    I felt like doing something slightly different today and this Trailing Ivy Twin pattern by Crafty Caz caught my eye. Ambitious, I know 😊! I did start off initially with the Marvel Printed purple mix but I gave up for 2 reasons, firstly it was hard to see the knit pattern due to the printing…

    Well after making my first few beanies I thought it was time for pom poms! After going a bit crazy at Spotlight and on Temu buying a myriad of fluffy delights (aka pom poms) I realized I do actually have to attach them to the beanies, something that I hadn’t considered as yet. I could…

    So admittedly the title is a little outlandish 🤣 so let me explain. So I have been looking to make a few patterns, such as the turban beanie, that really benefit from using a foam head form which I excitedly ordered. Unfortunately somewhere between Temu and Australia someone may have played football with the poor…

    So last week I had a request on my local Facebook good karma page for some chemo caps. And of course I had to give it a go! They had no style preferences but their favorite colours were purple and pink so it was a great chance to use up my Marvel Printed in Purple…
