It’s been QUITE a while since I posted for 52Hellos – mostly because I packed the box of letters up and could not find it when I unpacked. A bit of persistent unpacking turned them up this week,…
Somehow this year, I’ve become quite fixated on making blankets. Just when I get finished on one, I’m suddenly making another. Mostly, I make them for the special people in my life. There’s really nothing like giving the gift…
I am such a dork. I like to make things A LOT, in fact I like the making part SO much that I hate finishing things and slow down to a tortoise pace when the end of the…
Hello peaches! Hope your Monday is coming along swimmingly. Mine is disappearing much faster than I would prefer… I have not finished the things I am trying to finish. I have not done all the things I am trying…

This week in One + Four = Life… one: a tumble of blanket: after resting my sore wrist for over a week, I am finally back to crocheting! I’m not sure why it got so sore, but it’s something…
I know. I call blankets ‘blankies’. Yes, it’s a bit juvenile, but ‘blankie’ is much more about how a blanket is and feels than ‘blanket’ could ever be. This blanket is speedy and stripe-y. It’s the Speedy Stripe and…
A pompommy tea cosy will always cheer things up. If you need a cheer up, you might like to make one too?! Project Notes: If you don’t know how to make a granny square, I can help. I made the…
I’ve been making this tea cosy on and off for the last few days. It’s based on a vintage cosy style (I see a lot of op shop tea cosies in my travels!) Many of those cute, retro tea…
This blanket is super colourful and snazzy right? It’s such a good beginner’s project (and even though I am not a beginner, I loved making this too!) It’s fast to make and best of all it’s got a…

It’s a bit BIG to photograph nicely in its entirety, but I will work something out and show you the FULL blankie (all spread out) ASAP! This is a simple granny ripple crochet pattern. Maybe I should do…
When I got up this morning this song was playing on the radio. It made me make French Toast with Sriracha. It’s that kind of song and I felt very affirmed when I heard it. Then at lunch, this one was playing.…
I really like to crochet. One of my favourite stitches is the Larksfoot stitch. It’s the one I use a lot and it’s pretty fast and easy to do which is a bonus, right?! I’ve made a fresh new…
I’ve been working on these squares. They are from Debbie Stoller’s Weekend In Stockholm pattern. I’ve been wanting to make some for ages and my whole new ONE BLANKET FOR NANNA EACH YEAR idea was just the…
We all have our crafty heroes don’t we? People who have inspired us to make things, or at the very least to TRY. My Nan is that person for me. She was either in the kitchen, hard at work…
