About Me

Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm a lapsed crafter of late but still managing my diary Scrapbooking, plus cards as required. Previously I've also dabbled in ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Art Journaling, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery amongst other things. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband and son. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing, not really got back to the latter since the pandemic. I like walking which I couple with Geocaching and sometimes Bouncing on my Rebounder (mini trampoline). I am a Christian.

My First Crocheted Garment

Years ago crochet to me was just fancy doilies.

Since starting the class I have got into making small stuffed toys.

So I thought I best attempt my first garment.

I am doing a Woman's Cardigan as found in the Rowan Crochet Workshop Book.



Here's the beginning. I'm doing it in Rowan "4ply Soft" wool and it is certainly living up to its name as it is lovely and soft.

This makes a big change for me as up to now I have mainly crocheted in cotton which gives a much firmer fabric feel.

Lovely pattern and I like the colour you've chosen too. I think the biggest garment I've crocheted was a poncho for my daughter, and that was way back in the 70s when they were all the rage. I certainly never tackled a cardigan ... can't wait to see how yours turns out. Elizabeth xx
