LEARN NEW STITCHES to add to your crochet repertoire, at our next crochet workshop, "Pumpkins and Toadstools" (£35) on Saturday 3rd October at Sew Lovely in Loscoe (DE75 7LD).

I shall soon be making a trio of textured pumpkins with my samples of spider 🕷 stitch (in brown), bobble stitch (in orange) and wheat stitch (in green) and can't wait for you to see them.

At the workshop, you will be able to choose which project you would like to make on the day, from:

1. A trio of textured pumpkins
2. An autumnal trio of "granny" stitch items: pumpkin, acorn (large) and toadstool (all featuring "long treble stitch")
3. A large, whimsical fly agaric 🍄 toadstool with mini pixie/fairy

It will be a fabulous day at the inspirational Sew Lovely garden workshop and I can't wait for you to join me! Please book your place early (to avoid disappointment!!) X

As you know, the AUTUMN MYSTERY 🍂 CROCHET-A-LONG, scheduled for Saturday, 5th September, has been cancelled due to lack of interest which unfortunately meant it wasn't viable to run the workshop.
However, my creation of
"Rosehip the Hare" is being brought life in crochet kit form, for you to be able to make if you would like to, and the big mystery reveal is pictured below.
Crochet kits will be £25 and include all materials, yarn and patterns to complete the project.
Rosehip is fixed to a 9 inch log slice, hung by jute twine and ribbon, decorated with a Sunflower 🌻, oak leaves, acorns and chanterelle mushrooms and fly agaric toadstools 🍄.
Rosehip is adorned with an autumnal crown of oak, birch and maple 🍁 leaves, with mini pinecones.
I know some of you have commented already to say you would like a kit, but please comment below if you would still like one, now you've met Rosehip (and her exceptional ears!).
As always, many thanks for your interest and support, Jules xx

EVENING ALL ....
Just to let you know that the Autumn 🍂 Mystery Crochet-a-long, scheduled to take place on Saturday 5th September, has been cancelled due to a lack of interest 😢 Sad, but it happens, occasionally, especially in these tough, economic times, and I have had some great turnouts at my workshops over the year, so I really can't complain xx
Just so you know, I will produce kits for those that are interested, and might have booked a place last minute, and deposit monies will be returned/refunded xx
