February has been a lovely mix of creativity, crochet, exciting projects, and a few funny moments too! Here’s a little look at what’s been happening this month…
🌿 Advent Drift Pattern – Coming Soon!
I’ve been busy working on my Advent Drift pattern, and after lots of messages from you asking if it could be released sooner… I listened!
✨ New release date: 13th March 2026 ✨
This design uses the beautiful Almond Stitch and incorporates all 24 mini skeins (20g each) from my advent set from Botanical Yarns I won last year. I’m so excited to share this pattern with you, it has been such a joyful make and I cannot wait for release day 🌿🧶
✨ Free Patterns on the Website
This month I added lots of free patterns for you to download from my website, and I’ve absolutely loved seeing your makes already.
There are more free patterns coming over the next few weeks, so keep an eye out, and please keep sharing your creations, I truly love seeing them 💛
🧶 Squishy Yarn Delivery
I had a wonderfully squishy yarn delivery this month for a couple of commissions currently in the pipeline 👀
I’ll be working with the gorgeous Chenille Chunky from Yarnsmiths, ordered directly from Wool Warehouse – super soft, super cosy, and perfect for what I have planned 🧶✨
More to share on these soon!
🌈 New Yarn: Stylecraft Cotton Twist
I also received some of the beautiful new Stylecraft Cotton Twist yarn – including the cute 25g mini balls in all 8 new shades, along with a 100g ball from one of the 4 new Colourburst shades. The colours are absolutely gorgeous and I’m really looking forward to using these in future projects 🌈🧶
More to share on these soon!
🌺 Poppy Project Update
A little update from the Poppy Project…
We now have an incredible 10,366 poppies ❤️
Absolutely amazing!! Thank you to everyone who has contributed.
Our next drop-in session is:
📅 Tuesday 3rd March
There’s lots happening behind the scenes as we begin preparing to start sewing the poppies onto netting, a huge step forward and very exciting for the project.
🎂 Birthday Celebrations
I celebrated my birthday this month and felt very spoiled and very loved 💛
Ems baked me a cake, and so did my mum, my two absolute favourite flavours:
🍰 Victoria sponge
🍊 Orange and wholemeal cake
Both were absolutely delicious and made my birthday extra special.
I also treated myself to the cutest stitch markers from @Sekizyumak, sometimes the best presents are the ones you choose yourself 🧶✨
February is also my sister’s birthday month, and I gifted her the Walking on Sunshine Bust the Blues CAL blanket, a handmade gift made with love 💛
I also held my annual birthday giveaway, and the winner was @littleworkroomcrafts 🎉
Thank you all so much for your entries, birthday wishes, and kindness – and for the many lovely gifts from friends and family. I truly appreciate every single one.
🐾 And Finally… A New Fear Unlocked 😅
This month also brought something unexpected… a brand-new fear:
WORMS. 😳
I took the boys out for a walk and, because the ground was so waterlogged, the worms were everywhere! And I mean thousands! Let’s just say it was… an experience I won’t forget anytime soon 😂🐛
✨ Looking Ahead
February has been full of creativity, progress, and lovely moments, and I’m really looking forward to March, especially the Advent Drift pattern release on 13th March 🌿🧶✨
Thank you so much for being here, for your support, your messages, and your makes, it truly means the world 💛
