25.01.2022 One of our lovely customers was telling me about Jonah today and I just had to share this. You can find more on Youtube.

25.01.2022 We’ve all been there eh? if you’ve been on your crochet journey for a while, had the lessons, taught yourself, followed the YouTube bloggers but STILL your ends are wobbly, you can’t read the pattern or you just want to learn some new things.... Crochet Clinic is for you! We only host these twice a year and Saturday 26th has a few spaces left. We know you bought that really expensive yarn and downloaded the pattern and are now stuck, so you’ve stashed it in a bag and hidden it away. Don’t be that person get yourself to crochet clinic and get it sorted! Saturday 26th 9.30-12.30. $50. Call the shop to book your space 9381 4286

24.01.2022 Thanks Madz for tagging me into this. It is really interesting.

22.01.2022 Only two spaces left for this Saturday’s corner to corner crochet workshop If you have some basic crochet knowledge or have completed a beginners class, this is an ideal next step. Book your place on 9381 4286. !

22.01.2022 It seems celebrities are discovering the joys of wearing wool. Harry Styles with his colourful cardigan, now Taylor Swift in this stunning jumper and soon we will see Katy Perry on our screens with a crocheted granny square dress.

22.01.2022 Love Brendan's latest creation. Think Buddy needs a matching one.

21.01.2022 Happy Halloween folks! Trick or treat or knit or crochet ?? #happyhalloween

21.01.2022 This is one of my favourite patterns and yarns.

20.01.2022 Check out Brendan's intro to Youtube. So very proud of him.

18.01.2022 This beanie and scarf was made by one of our new customers who learned to knit on a loom during lockdown. He’s brand new to any type of crafting and wanted to make something lovely for his mum back in England. We think she’ll love this gift. Scarf and hat used 4 balls of Heirloom 8ply alpaca. The yarn is lovely to work with, very soft and produces really nice stitch definition. Lots of other colours to choose from in store. #yarn #loomknitting #loomknittersofinstagram #alpaca #yarnstore #localyarnshop #iloveyarn #menwhoknit

15.01.2022 Virus shawl We have opened bookings for our virus shawl workshop, Saturday 17th October 1-4pm. The virus shawl has been around for years but recently it’s made a come back (I wonder why?? ) it’s not an over complicated pattern, but there are many versions and this workshop will walk you through the start, how to read the pattern or the chart and how to work with finer yarns that give you subtle colour changes and beautiful drape. If you’ve attended a beginners sessio...n, this is a great next step, building on your skills. Workshop is $75 which includes the beautiful colour changing yarn worth $30. (Lots of different colours to choose from, to suit all tastes!) bookings on 9381 4286. See more

10.01.2022 If you’ve taken a beginners crochet class here (or anywhere!) and you’re ready to expand your skill set and learn some new stitches, we recommend the Facecloth and Scrubbies session. We have a couple of spaces left for this Saturday morning. You’ll need to phone the shop to get your place secured. TIP: if you’ve ever wanted to learn corner-to-corner crochet , we will be showing you in this class ! what have you got to lose? (You will need the very basics in crochet knowledge, but it’s a great way to build your confidence ) 9381 4286

08.01.2022 We loved Ryan Gosling already, but now we know he's a knitter? Here's a quick read about some celeb knitters, as well as a shoutout to Hand Knit & Croche...t Guild Victoria Inc and some suggestions for the new knitters who are using their lockdown time to learn a new skill! https://www.racv.com.au//celebrities-join-coronavirus-knit See more

08.01.2022 Happy Anzac Day everyone. Stay safe x

08.01.2022 Mosaic-ing and loving it

07.01.2022 With orders mounting and, thanks to funds provided by the Rotary Club of Western Endeavour, the ability to provide fabric and elastic to local volunteers, WA is looking for more people to sew. Please join us on this amazing journey with the Helping our Hospital Heroes group.

07.01.2022 Love Klaer’s creation. A bit of fun to lighten up these challenging times. And doesn’t she rock it!!!!

06.01.2022 Have you ever driven around and seen a tree painted blue? Well these trees are painted blue to help raise awareness around mental health and to aid in sparking ...the conversation around this difficult subject. I first saw a blue tree maybe 6 months ago and since then on my little journey I just keep bumping into them! It’s funny how something might always be there but you aren’t actually aware of it. In the coming months I want to start doing a few little fundraisers and giveaways to start raising funds for mental health projects. For me knitting helps me to remain mindful and gives me a little skip to my step. I like to spread my knitting joy because I think it’s such an easy way for me to find happiness and I think it can be an easy way for others as well #knittingismyyoga #knittingismytherapy #knittersofinstagram #knittersoftheworld #knittersofaustralia #mentalhealthawareness #ruok #knittingtherapy #knittinghelp #mindfulcrafting #knittingaddict #knitknitknit #knittinglove #knittinglover #menwhoknit #maleknitter #guyswhoknit #handmadewithlove #handmadeknits #handmadeknitwear #selfhelptools #arttherapy #arttherapylife #arttherapist #arttherapyheals #crafttherapy #knitterslife #homemadewithlove #knittingcommunity #yarntherapy See more

05.01.2022 Granny’s Galore workshop sold out quickly yesterday. We had so many disappointed customers, we’ve asked the crochet teacher if she would put another workshop on and she’s agreed on the condition we feed her chocolate and cups of tea all afternoon! If you missed out yesterday call the shop and get on the added date. (See previous post for all the details of the workshop) Second workshop date SATURDAY November 28th 1-4pm 9381 4286

04.01.2022 My third and final patchwork jumper all done and dusted If you’ve been following me for the last few months then you’d be aware of my patchwork knitting endea...vours (inspired by the Harry Styles cardigan) and the massive journey I’ve been on... I’m really happy with the end result of this jumper and the process I’ve been through to get to this point! The first jumper was made using individual squares (insanity), the second was made using panels (bareable) and the third made using the intarsia or colour twist method (happy days) The jumper will be called the Kai Fella Jumper and I will go into details about the reason behind the name but for now, know that I’m really excited by this jumper and the future initiatives that I’ll be doing with it! Thank you all for the constant support! This project has been a mission but it’s finally done.
