fashion crochet shoot

 My latest book, Fashion Crochet is out now, and I have been a bit slow in telling you about it. I am still waiting for my copy so to give you a little taster, here are some shots from one of the photoshoots I managed to get to. Millie was only a few months old when they were shooting for the book, so it was lovely to go along for a couple of hours worth of adult conversation, which mainly revolved around how tired I looked...
One of my favourite projects from the book is the granny skirt, below, and it looked stunning on this model. Will give you a look inside the book once I get my copy!

crochet garland pattern

 

Another new pattern in Inside Crochet this month, this time a cute little garland that is already residing above the littlun's cot. Very quick and easy to make, this one is perfect for beginners and easily adaptable - make it whatever length you wish, or even turn it into a necklace if that takes your fancy!

crochet pincushion pattern

 One of my new patterns is in the latest issue of Inside Crochet, issue 35, out today! Hope you like it. It is a pincushion with doily inspired top, taking inspiration also from Henry Moore as there is a feature on his textiles prints in the issue - they are so amazing!

Inside Crochet issue 34

Just a quick one to post a few pictures from Inside Crochet issue 34 - you only have a few more days to buy this magazine as issue 35 comes out very soon - get a preview here. Hope you like it, I loved the shoot for this one.

thanks to Britt Spring for the photography, Nicki Henbrey for the makeup. I did the styling.

Patti Wrap

As an addition to the last post, the Patti Wrap pattern in issue 33 of Inside Crochet is one of my own, inspired by the fabulous crochet in Marc Jacobs' fall collection. Just love Britt Spring's photography in these shots, especially the one above, such dreamy lighting and colours.

Crochet Polar Bear Pattern

In all the excitement of the last few months I forgot to say that DMC have a range of new patterns out and they are really fabulous, I urge you to go take a look. You will see one of mine in there, this contented Polar Bear. I think he looks like he has just had fish for his tea, yummy....
