Twisted yarns

How cute are these? Our eldest daughter had an unexpected trip to hospital (2 actually!) this week, and so when whilst waiting for answers in hospital, she asked if I could make 4 little Santa hats that she could include in gift bundles she plans to give friends for Christmas - I really couldn't refuse. After discussing what size she wanted them to be, we decided they should fit over a chocolate orange - as I don't have one to hand, I'm hoping they fit them! Sara  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  In between other projects I like to make bed runners for dementia patients... All they ask is for blankets to be approx 140cm x 50cm - crochet, knitted or quilted etc. They are used on the dementia wards to help patients identify their beds. I try to make each one completely individual, with different colours and stitches - it gives a great opportunity to practise new patterns without committing to a full size blanket! If you'd like to get involved, there are more details here , they cannot accept donations at the moment, but would still like to have a supply once they can! They will put an update on their Facebook page once they can accept more blankets Sara  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well, I havent updated in a good few years, but thought I'd resuurect my blog just to keep track of craft projects... over the past few years I have had long spells of not really doing anything creative, but about 4 years ago I started to crochet. Since then, I haven't looked back! I've mainly crocheted blankets - simply baby blankets as gifts for friends, large blankets for family to snuggle under, and intricate blankets to give away as presents (only to the favoured few as they take sooo long!) I also made some NHS hero dolls: for a neigbour who is a midwife, a friend's sister who is a respiratory care nurse and another friend who is exceptionally busy as a junior doctor  in a hospital...
