I subscribe to a number of yarny podcasts (which are so inspiring), so recently I decided that it might be fun to do a little podcast of my own. If you have 13 minutes … More Jean the Creative Pixie Podcast!

My own knitted socks

April 30, 2017

  Last year, on the 1st of May,  I had started to knit a pair of socks for myself using 4ply sock yarn from Opal (in the Kim colourway) and following the Winwick Mum sock pattern from the Super Socks book by Christine Perry. Fast forward to Easter 2017 when I remembered that they were in … More My own knitted socks

Finding colour inspiration

October 31, 2016

I don’t know about you but I get excited when I’m choosing colours for a new blanket. The first factor for colour choice is whether the blanket is going to be for a girl or a boy. Now personally I don’t see a problem with girls having blue colours and boys having pink and purples … More Finding colour inspiration

Working on a bit of sock knitting this afternoon. I knit a star toe using a gorgeous Hedgehog Fibres mini I had in my stash. #knitting #sockknitting #strandeddyeworks #hedgehogfibres #wool #addictedtowool #green #festive #imarealknitter #startoe
Lazy Sunday afternoon here. I've lost a bit of my knitting mojo so just working away on my stashbusting crochet blanket. I'm using a random number generator to help me choose the colours of the rounds. . . . . . #sundaycrochet #crochetblanket #crochet #crochetersofinstagram #stylecraftspecialdk #stashbusting #fire #crochetbythefire #handmade #handcrafted
My granny square blanket is working up slowly, I just pick it up when I feel like doing something with my hands. I envisage this stashbusting project will take me the year to complete but that's ok. . . . . . #crochet #grannysquare #grannysquareblanket #stylecraft #stylecraftspecialdk #stashbusting #tulipetimo #colour #color #colourfullife #handmade #handcrafted #instacrochet #grannysquaresrock
The start of a new year always causes me to go on a tidying spree in my house. I've been watching the Marie Kondo show, Tidying Up, on Netflix and did a clearout of my clothes and airing cupboard. I found a huge stash of Stylecraft Special DK in my wardrobe from my blanket crocheting phase so I thought I'd use some of it up. I put this combination together so aim to do a couple or rounds a night while listening to an audiobook. Anyone else watched the show? Any audiobook suggestions? . . . . . #stylecraftyarn #stylecraftspecialdk #crochet #grannysquare #colours #stashbusting #crochet #grannyblanket #rainbowblanket #handmadelife #crochetersofinstagram
Happy New Year to you all. I love this time of the year when I get a new diary/notebook and start to plan for the year ahead. It's a big birthday year for me and I'm not really sure what to do about that. I'm just going to enjoy my last couple of days off work. . . . . . #diary #planner #journal #craft #handmade #planning #busyb #cathkidston #blogger #sparklydots #pen #todolist #planningahead #forwardplanning #creativelife #hardwork #stationeryaddict #stationery
Can't believe we are saying goodbye to 2018. It's been a year of crafting firsts for me. My first knitted hats and mittens, crocheted shawls, dyeing my own yarn. Knitting colourwork and cables. 9 of these items were gifts and 5 I made for myself. Can't wait to see what 2019 has in store. Happy New Year wherever you are X . . . . . . #knitting #crochet #handmade #handcrafted #homemade #knittedhats #crochetshawl #selbumittens #babybohémesweater #handmadewithlove #2018makes #addictedtoknitting #addictedtowool #wool #imarealknitter #knitnotbot
