I first started my Sophie’s Universe blanket in 2019, then picked it up again in 2021, and I’m now at it once again! Will 2024 be the year that I finally finish it? Only time will tell 😂

Well that’s part 5 done, only 20 more to go 🏃‍♀️

When you finish a crochet project you’ve got to do a little photo shoot!

I started working on this scarf last year and after a little bit of procrastination it’s now done! Just in time for the last part of winter 🙈

I’ve had a little break from crochet the last few months but as it’s autumn, crochet season is upon us once again! I’ve wanted to make poncho for years and I’ve finally ticked it off the list!

Spring has sprung! And I am currently on a roll with completing my unfinished WIPs! 💪🏻

I started this cardigan in September 2021 I think and have picked it up and put it down a number of times. But with some perseverance it is now complete just in time for spring!

This is based off of 2 patterns by Hay Hay Crochet - her Granny Square cropped cardigan and the collar are based on her spooky Halloween eyeball cardigan!

Made with Aran Paintbox and Stylecraft Yarns

I love it! And it was a great yarn buster 🧶

Making my temperature blanket has turned into a full time project for me - it’s my own fault for allowing myself to fall behind so much… But I have been able to fit in a few projects here and there, including making this gorgeous tank top for my friend’s birthday!
