Oh I Crochet

02/09/2026

When two hobbies collide 😆 I spotted a cute bookmark pattern so made lots of them! I decided to make them in cosy autumnal colours ready for the perfect cosy nights in with a good book 🍂

Having a little family break, obviously I snuck a couple of balls of wool away but trying out something a bit different as I wasn’t bringing my whole toy making kit!

A little top up at Curly Magpie today. Including some new little marshmallows.

I had a couple of hours child free today 🙌 I started this Zebra in April after our trip to the zoo and it was sat unfinished in my craft area so I made it my mission to finish it! I now have one very happy little boy!

I couldn’t find a good zebra pattern so I made the head using a mix of patterns and I used the Unicorn body by Mama Made Minis | Lindsay McNutt + Aly Dratch and just switched between black and white every few rows!

I have been with my cute but unhelpful little assistant to restock at Curly Magpie Wonderful Shop today! Plenty of Ducks and Pigeons and a Cat all on the shelf today. I snuck in a couple of not-so-ugly-ducklings too. I will try and test some new patterns over the summer so I can add some new items!

Now I am free for the Summer, I have had a little tidy up of my shelf at Curly Magpie Wonderful Shop! I haven’t restocked because the last few weeks of a school term are far too busy for crocheting 🤣🤣.

However, I luckily started making some Pigeons yesterday and found they were all gone today! I will get making a lot more ready to restock next week!

The poor Flamingo and Macarons are in need of a new home!

Let me know if there is anything else you think I should be making??!!
