This is one of those special scarves that looks tricky but is really very easy to create. It uses only two different crochet stitches and variegated yarn to get beautiful colours without changing yarns all the time. It is a crochet Infinity scarf, so-called because the loop has a twist in it like an infinity [...]
I love crochet ripple blankets! After making my first very colourful “rainbow” one, I made a second one with a lots of cream and various other left over bits of yarn. This blanket has a more standard colour palette, but one that I love and I think is really classic – red, navy and grey. [...]
I got a lovely email last week from a reader named Carol: Hi Tonya, Love receiving your emails and watching your projects develop! I thought I would send on to you one of my finally finished projects – I have been doing this blanket for over a year now (with 2 broken fingers in between) [...]
My Crafty Inspirations post on Sunday included lots of star projects. These crochet stars were one of them. I came across these on Pinterest and just had to have a go. They were quick and easy. I’m seriously considering making a rainbow of colours! You can find the free tutorial over on Ravelry by Penny Peberdy.
My ripple blanket is coming along slowly but surely. I’m loving the colour combination – red, navy and grey – although I had to go searching for more red yarn. I seem to have collected quite a lot of yarn in my stash so I had been determined to not buy more, but I really [...]

Finished! Finally! I’ve been posting glimpses of this blanket on Facebook and Instagram for months now so I’m excited to have it done. I started it last year thinking that I would sell it in my shop, but my son quickly decided that he liked these colours and has been calling it his blanket, so [...]
I started working on a new crochet blanket a couple of weeks ago after finishing my crochet rainbow blanket and loving it so much. This one is distinctly “boy” colours – navy blue, lime green and bone. My son, also known as Mr Happy, is already asking for this one to be his – and [...]
After finishing my Rainbow Crochet Blanket, I was thinking about what to do with the left over rainbow yarn. Last night I decided to try a square from my new crochet book. I hadn’t had a chance to sit and look at this book much, but once I did, the ideas started zinging! The whole [...]
