Friendly Nettle
Friendly Nettle is a community site for crafters of all sorts offering free project ideas, patterns for knitting, sewing and crocheting.
As mentioned previously, we have been knitting mini hats to contribute to Innocent Big Knit campaign. Sadly the time have came to say goodbye to our little hats as they are about to be posted to the Fruit Towers (Innocent Head-office) this afternoon :(.
On the positive note, I hope these little hats will make someone else happy, it could even be you (available from November).
Have a very happy day!

I have recently posted on how to start crocheting. I hope you enjoyed the tutorials. For those who want to learn more here is the challenge to crochet circles!
I find crocheting circles is quite fun as you can create many things with it. For instance I have made this crocheted collar just with the circles alone!
Have fun!

Hey lovelies! What are you up to this weekend? If you have nothing planned then this would be a great opportunity to learn crocheting :). Don’t worry if you don’t know how to knit as crocheting is even easer and no experience necessary. Just follow this path:
1. learn the chain stitch that is useful to form a background for many crochet projects.
2. master a slip stitch and you are almost there…
3. get to know single crochet!
4. learn a double stitch if you fall in love with crocheting already ;)
Have a lovely weekend!

Past couple of days I have been knitting a pillow as part of my pillow challenge and I had to carry this big yarn roll every time I am on the go (I could have wind down a smaller yarn ball from it, but I suppose I have been lazy to do that!).
The pillow is finally finished! So if you want to make it for yourself you can find a pattern here.
Let me know what you think ;)

I love Christmas! Everything about it! I especially love baking and decorating. Have you done your Christmas decorating yet? I am sure you did! I have seen so many of my friends on Facebook putting all these wonderful pics of their homes which kind of put me under pressure. Because me as always never on time with this. And this is not because I have lack of inspiration, this is because I always run out of time. So here we go, I finally unloaded what was in my head already all made (including baking) and ready to go….
I even knitted this bird shape hanging decoration and if you remember last year’s post on Christmas decoration,this is exactly the pattern I used.
This bird decoration is not only for Christmas (it is for keeps ;). The knitting pattern for it is here!
Happy Christmas decorating!
