Off The Hook

24/08/2026

Morning, gang!
I'm taking a week off so there'll be no classes this week but it does mean I can post about lots of things I'm working on! 🤩

Remember my voodoo dolls?
Well, Magenta is off to her new home later on today, after someone saw her and asked if he could buy her off me!

That means two things:
1. The dolls will be available to purchase (more on that tomorrow 👀)
2. I had to make another doll to keep Riff Raff company 😂

So, without, further ado, meet Scrumpy! 😍😍😍

Is there a better way to start the day? 😍☕

Ooohhh myyyy!!!
Have you seen this!?

Definitely going to be stocking up for my Amigurumi patterns! 😍😍

How exciting is this for you knitting and crochet people, 25g balls all the colours for 90p per ball 💕

🔵 SIMPLE COASTER 🔵

Now, we all love a stash buster so this one is bound to appeal to many of you BUT this week's pattern also includes a guide to Navajo Chaining - the method of trebling your yarn weight without dealing with three separate yarns! 😮

If one of the kids wake me in the night, there's an immediate fight between my brain and my body.

If my body wins, I go back to sleep - job done 👍🏼

BUT. If my brain wins, I can't get back to sleep until the idea that it throws at me is realised.

At 3am, my brain won 😴

But it did mean that it created this 😍

⭐ PROUD TEACHER MOMENT! ⭐

Over the summer, my regular, Jane has been bringing her daughter, Kerrigan to class.

Unfortunately, because Jane is a bad-ass hero paramedic, she couldn't make it today but Kerrigan didn't want to miss out on her last class before schools go back so she came by herself.

🤩 I told her I was going to teach her basic Amigurumi
😟 She wasn't sure she was ready
😎 I knew differently

Well done, Kerrigan! You smashed it today and we are all SO proud of you! 💪🏻

Evening, gang!
Yesterday morning, at 2:30am, Noah decided it was time for a growth spurt so woke me up and proceeded to eat me out of house and home, refusing to go back to sleep 😴

So I figured I'd use my time productively and started work on November's Showcase project - a hexi cardigan!

I've just finished it and Alex is a big fan!

Who needs sleep, anyway? 😂

🦆 LITTLE DUCKY 🦆

It's Amigurumi week and this time we're making this adorable Little Ducky! It's so quick and easy to make I can see many of you finishing it in class (and then going home to make more! 😂)

Afternoon, gang!

Introducing... Riff Raff and Magenta (if you know, you know 👀)!

I'm currently working on my September projects and couldn't wait to share these two! 🤩

I'm hoping to get the pattern written up soon if anyone fancies pattern testing?

I'll do a proper call out once the pattern is ready but I'm just gauging interest just now... 🙈

🗓️ STITCH OF THE MONTH 🗓️

Kicking us off into August is the Stitch Of The Month: Filet!

This is definitely the easiest of the stitches so far - just doubles and chains! Plus no colour changes! 🤩
