I am an addict!


Oh dear ...... what shall I do ....... I think I may be addicted to crochet!  I can't stop making these cute little hearts!  As soon as I wake I feel the need to make one even before I get out of bed!  I keep buying scrummy coloured wool whilst thinking how lovely a little heart would look like in that colour.   Why did no one warn me of the dangers of getting addicted to this lovely new craft I have just learnt :-)

It is all your fault - you know who you are - I blame you entirely for putting too many gorgeous crochet photos on your blog and making me NEED to learn :-)  This pattern came from the lovely Attic24's blog if you want to give it a go.


All those scrummy colours ........


Gorgeous textures ........


So many possibilities ........


Gorgeous equipment to work with .....


And so many lovely things that I want to create.  I think these little hearts will become some bunting, oohh I can't wait :-)  I have now bought The Happy Hooker book and borrowed some more crochet books from the library, I just now need to find more time to create some more gorgeous wooly things.

As a thank you to you all for your inspiration I have made the bloggers who love crochet a little bloggy button.  Feel free to pop it on your blog and show your love of crochet.  Just right click on the piccy below, save to your hard drive and then upload it as a piccy into your blogger template.  I hope you like it. xxx

  7. Oooh, those are so pretty!! I would like to see them on a cloth bag, arranged in a circle like you've got them on one of your photos. Or how about stitched onto an old duvet cover to brighten it up. I can't crochet, but I love seeing the results on people's blogs too. xxx

  20. I feel like the only girl NOT in the wonderful world of crochet!!!
    Was scarred for life after a disasterous lesson from my ever so patient mum, resulting in a 39 year old tantrum.
    Anyway, now I'm 40 it's first on the list of 'things to do before I'm 50'. Better start soon - thinking it might take a while!

    Not sure how i got here (been surfing randomly) but off for a little nosey round your blog - it looks nice!
