Wowzers, that went quickly. A whole week has galloped past, and the Stylecraft voucher giveaway has closed. A huge thank you to everyone who entered, and to the generous folk at Stylecraft for providing the prizes. So shall we find out whether you've won? Oh, and may I just thank you for your kind comments (and name suggestions) for the sunset cowl. I've finished the knitting, and I'll be posting the finished thing with a free pattern  - and a name! - within the next week or so. :-) But let's Continue Reading

crochet motif embroidered jeans how to instructions pattern

I was imagining a sort of floral vine growing round and round and round the middle part of my leg. So this isn't a design that would work for mending holes; it's more for embellishing otherwise healthy jeans. Out came the DMC Natura Cotton again, and a 2.5mm crochet hook and a tapestry needle. And a smallish slice of Christmas cake. Also some Continue Reading

Log Cabins in Yarn and Fabric

October 30, 2014 by The Twisted Yarn 44 Comments

Now listen up, good people: this is serious. All your comments on The Icing On The Cake were lovely, thank you, but they're starting to go to the Stoic Spouse's head. He's even been overheard muttering the phrase 'fan club'. Ahem, we need to put the brakes on this before it gets out of hand. Anyway, while the Stoic Spouse keeps the home fires burning (literally: he's apparently shifted one tonne of newly-delivered logs from front to back garden whilst we've been away), the Toddler Twinnage Continue Reading

Just got home from a really intense work-day down the psychology mines, only to discover these wonderful socks that the ever-awesome @buttonspickles knitted for me. They are very beautiful and very cosy, and the yarn is the colourway that I designed for Stylecraft, i.e. Head Over Heels in the shade 'Saltaire'. (I don't think Stylecraft sells it any more.) But these socks are just perfect and I love them and I'm feeling very grateful for my friends. ❤

My lovely friend (since the age of about 4) has just turned 50. We don't usually exchange gifts but she sent me such a thoughtful present when I hit the half-century, and I wanted to do something nice for her. So I designed and made this cowl. I hope she likes it...
