Things are much brighter now but this little knitted dress symbolises for me the warmth and strength that family love can give. My daughter was going through a bad time healthwise and I needed to be there for her anyway I could. I knitted her little dress while I was staying in Hobart for a week unexpectedly. I have been working on her for a long time but I am so happy with her.

The dolls, the knitting and me are starting to get into a more balanced rhythm, I’m lifting my head up from my knitting needles at last and I’m sharing little Hettie with you today. So my dollmaking has taken a back seat with occasional bursts of jumping into number one position. Dearie me, the yarn, the patterns, the comforting movement of the stitches being made and the joy of watching something lovely being created. I mean I have always loved it and always knitted since I was a little girl but it has moved from love to something bigger. Much of my time over the past year has been taken up with a growing obsession with knitting. All things being in the correct alignment we will see him in a month or so though for his wedding. For me and mine the main issue has been not being able to see my eldest son for more than a year. Millions of lives have been lost and many more effected in so many ways by the virus. It’s been such a long time since I felt I had something to say but after having done a whole lot of admin work on the computer this morning it kind of felt natural to come here for a chat.īetween this post and my last the world has been turned upside down by the pandemic. The acrylic yarn granny square rug I made last year that covers the couch in the kitchen makes me so happy each time I see it and it’s wearing well. This is the second acrylic crocheted rug that I’ve made and I’m finding it quite pleasant to work with. I am using acrylic yarn which I don’t use for knitting projects, I don’t like wearing acrylic clothes, mostly find them very irritating and I overheat and get cranky. I do have to concentrate a lot more than I do with knitting so it is an antisocial project but I’m mostly by myself through the day so that’s fine. So I joined the CAL (crochet a long) to try to improve my skills. I have never really been able to follow a pattern and achieve a consistent result.
#JENNY WREN HOW TO#
I learned to crochet as a child, my Auntie Maisie taught me to chain and how to do a granny square and any thing I have done since then I just made up or tried to copy something I had seen.

#JENNY WREN FREE#
The pattern is free and new section is available each week. It’s a crochet along being run by Sirdar in the UK. I have spent a lot of time this week on my crochet project. The rejects you know are the logs that are a bit too difficult to split but too big to fit in the firebox, very frustrating. We have only had the fire alight a couple of times this week which is probably a good thing as we are waiting on a load or two of firewood to see us through the winter and our wood pile is really just a collection of rejects from last winter. This week has been all about crochet and marvelling at how mild the weather has been so far this autumn.
