This is my second attempt at a Zentangle. My first, while fine for a first go, is not for public consumption! I’m inclined to want to name this one Down the Rabbit Hole, or maybe it should be Through the Looking Glass. Either way it reminds me of Alice in Wonderland. It uses the Poke-root, […]

Mitts, mitts, mitts!
So, I’ve already said that crocheting hats is one of my favourite things… Mitts (or fingerless gloves) possibly even more so! I love wearing my möbius mitts, and making them is quite fun too.

I’ve been wearing […]
