🐠 Goldfish in a Bag keychains are swimming out fast! 🐠

Only a few left in stock at the moment and they've been proving very popular – 8 have already sold this week. 🎉 Handmade by Shani

These quirky little Goldfish in a Bag make perfect:
🎁 Father's Day gifts
🎁 End of term teacher thank you gifts
🎁 Small token presents for someone special
🎁 Fun crochet collectibles

More are currently on the hook and being made, but if you'd like one of the remaining few, pop in and grab yours before they swim away! 🧶🐠✨

☀️ Heatwave Reminder for Tuesday's morning and afternoon sessions ☀️

As many of you are aware, there is currently an amber weather warning in place for Monday and Tuesday.

We're closed on Monday as usual, but Tuesday is forecast to be even hotter than the last heatwave.

As many of my regulars know, the workshop unit can become significantly warmer than the outside temperature, making it uncomfortable for some people.

If you are booked onto a workshop on Tuesday and would prefer to reschedule, please do so as soon as possible before July fills up.
Your safety and wellbeing are far more important than attending in extreme temperatures.

To reschedule, simply open your booking confirmation email and scroll to the bottom where you will find the Reschedule button.

Please don't feel obliged to struggle through the heat — I would much rather help you move your booking to a cooler day than risk anyone becoming unwell.

Stay safe, keep hydrated, and look after yourselves. 🧶💜☀️

🧶✨This mornings 3 hour project workshop ✨🧶

This morning we tackled the Corner-to-Corner Blocks in a Round Blanket, and these lovely ladies picked it up incredibly quickly!

It's always wonderful to see the confidence grow as new techniques start to click into place. By the end of the session, everyone had made fantastic progress and was well on their way with their blankets.

Have a look at what they achieved in just a few hours! 👀👇

Well done, ladies — lots of laughter, plenty of crochet, and some beautiful work created this morning. 🧶❤️

Then a lush afternoon with the ladies for the free crochet and chat.

🧶Did you know Tunisian is the next best thing .......

Tunisian Crochet is often described as a hybrid between crochet and knitting! It combines the best of both worlds, creating beautiful fabrics with a knitted appearance while using a crochet hook.

If you're a knitter struggling to make the switch to crochet, I may just have the perfect solution! 😊

Join one of my beginner-friendly workshops and I'll introduce you to the wonderful world of Tunisian Crochet, helping you build confidence while learning new skills at your own pace.

✨ Suitable for beginners
✨ Perfect for knitters wanting to try crochet
✨ Small, friendly groups
✨ Left-handed crafters welcome too

Who knows? Tunisian Crochet might just become your new favourite craft! 🧶💜

Book your workshop today and let's get those hooks moving! 😊✨

16/06/2026

Yet again, I find myself having to repeat something I have already explained many times before, but after being told by a keyboard warrior that I'm wrong, I feel it's important to say it again.

🚫 DISNEY, MARVEL, WARNER BROS, OR ANY OTHER MAJOR BRAND CHARACTERS 🚫

I cannot legally design patterns featuring these characters, nor can I accept commissions to make and sell them.

The reason is simple: I do not own the copyright or trademarks, and I certainly cannot afford the licences required to use them commercially. Companies such as Disney are well known for actively protecting their intellectual property rights.

What prompted this post was someone telling me that they have sold plenty of these items at craft fairs and that nothing has happened to them (yet). Unfortunately, that doesn't make it legal, and it certainly isn't advice I would ever follow or encourage others to follow.

As a business owner, I work incredibly hard to build my business the right way, and I prefer to sleep at night knowing I am operating within the law rather than taking risks that could have serious consequences.

To the individual concerned, I have retained screenshots of the conversation before you chose to block me. If required, I would have no hesitation in providing them to the relevant copyright holders.

Please don't encourage others to ignore copyright laws simply because you've been fortunate enough not to face any consequences so far. The crochet community is full of talented designers creating original work, and that's what we should be celebrating and supporting. 🧶❤️

Thank you to everyone who understands and respects the importance of copyright and intellectual property rights.

🧶 Crochet Workshop Benefits for Mental Health & Loneliness🧶

Some of the benefits our clients often tell us they experience include:

• 💜 Reduced feelings of loneliness and isolation
• 😊 A welcoming and supportive community
• 🧠 Improved focus and mindfulness
• 😌 Reduced stress and anxiety levels
• 🤝 Making new friendships and social connections
• 🌟 Increased confidence through learning new skills
• 🎯 A sense of purpose and achievement
• 💬 Regular social interaction in a relaxed environment
• 🧶 Time away from daily pressures and worries

At Creative Crochet by Shani, we've seen complete strangers walk through the door and leave as friends.
For many, our workshops are about far more than crochet—they're a chance to chat, laugh, learn something new, and feel part of a welcoming community.

Over the years, we've watched friendships blossom, confidence grow, and people find a place where they feel they belong. 💜🧶

⚠️ Please note:
Crochet workshops can support wellbeing and help reduce feelings of loneliness, but they are not a replacement for professional mental health support.
If you are struggling with your mental health, please seek advice from your GP or a qualified healthcare professional. 💜
