Hi everyone, still busy making for the crafting Christmas season? I’m just finishing something a bit special, it’s a lovely evening wrap. It’s actually a pattern I used earlier in the year with some lovely lambs wool, but this wrap couldn’t look more different and it’s the yarn that makes it looks so snazzy… Creative…
It’s All About The Pitch
Quite a while ago,I talked about re vamping my craft stall, how I was going to change the way it looked and what I sell and when, a re branding if you will… Well I’ve finally managed to do it, I’ve changed the name of all my outlets and social media to Making Time or…

Blue like the sky
Here is another yarn that didn’t seem happy in my intended pattern. Frogging seems to play a large part in my crochet world. I start a piece with excitement and dedication and slowly I realise it looks or feels awful, the yarn is not happy with its chosen form, so I frog and frog back…
Festival Poncho
Did you ever buy a yarn because you loved it, with no idea what to make with it? Well that’s how the festival ponch began life, several balls of wool with no real purpose in life, other than to look fab… I tried one or two patterns but nothing looked quite right… Then one day…

Making a Cover for a Footrest.
My partner wares big heavy army type boots with a habit of wearing them all day in or out of the house not normally that much of a problem for most folks. However my hubby due to lots and lots of surgery due to rare bone cancer has a leg he can’t bend which means…
