This afternoon I hosted the first of The Yarnery’s three Crochet Flower Bouquet workshops and what an absolute TREAT it was!

Thank you to those of you that came to create with me. All the flowers were beautifully constructed and you all did super well. Each Ho**er picked stems from Li Li’s book to make and everyone now has their own copy to take away and carry on creating at home.

I already can’t wait to meet those that are coming to next weekend’s session. Who’s excited?

Who’s that girl? It’s Rea!

Modelling her first ever crochet wearable, looking resplendent, feeling fabulous and making us all incredibly jealous.

It was no surprise to me that Rea would feel this sensational wearing something she had crocheted herself for herself but I do get a lot of people coming to The Yarnery that have only ever previously made things for other people.

Why do we do that? We deserve to wear our own work. We deserve to feel this incredible, to get the compliments and to feel empowered by giving the high street and fast fashion a middle finger by making clothing that actually fits us and looks better than anything made by a machine.

This is your sign, from me and Rea, to pick up your yarn today and hook or cast on something for YOU!

I’ve been learning German since the end of March so translating all of the Rico Design yarn labels is ESSENTIAL!

Fun fact about everyone’s favourite Creative range:
The “chen” part of the yarn name Blümchen makes the “blum” (flower) part small and cute. So adding chen to your words basically makes them more lovely!

Happy to be schooled on this if I’m off but I really hope I’m right because it’s just adorbs.

I’ve got a friend called Jen Chen who’s already small and cute but if I wanted her to be extra delightful I could call her Jen Chenchen… and I will be doing this now and forever.

What else can we chenify?!

SHALL we take a minute to tell Chelsea how awesome her latest crochet make is? I think yes. I absolutely think we SHALL!

Chelsea has been hooking with me at The Yarnery for over a year and her work is phenom. She always picks different fibres to work with and her attention to detail is chef’s kiss. You might remember some of the wearables I posted last year made by Chelsea? You can’t see a theme and that’s what I love about watching her portfolio grow, I never know what she’s going to explore next. Any guesses?

Thanks for being part of the community, Chelsea, it wouldn’t be the same without you.

Here’s Jan, our unequivocally elegant Saturday morning Ho**er in her latest make. She braved the heat this week to come and show us all her finished crocheted garment and she looks increds in it, as expected.

Thank you for being part of The Yarnery Jan, we love you beyond words.

Who else is bold enough to knit or crochet an entire garment in black yarn? Who?!

It’s a degree cooler today in Chester which means that we can all cast on a new project. I read the handbook and that’s definitely what it says.

The Yarnery will be open today from 10:30 - 5:00 and if you haven’t seen the latest changes yet, you’re gonna love it here!

See you soon, Yarnies…

Oh look! It’s Alma looking incredible in her James C. Brett Marble Chunky crochet make.

Alma picks the best projects. Always different, always with a pattern that stretches her skills and calls for different yarn weights and tension and ALWAYS something beautiful.

She made this for her mum 💚

Wait til you see what she’s working on now…

I have NOT been hot on the socials for a while. It’s been a wild couple of weeks with the start of the shop extension and a big move around but we’ve had a few lovely workshops that I haven’t shouted about yet.

Last night we welcomed 10 crocheters to come and learn how to add seed beads to their projects. It was lovely that we all got something to take away with us at the end and hopefully it’s a technique that the workshoppers will use again in future makes.

We worked from Janie Crow patterns with the recommended Rico Design yarns and Debbie Abrahams beads.

What do you think of the results?
