Day one of #graemetheoctopus crochet along with @toft_uk decided on the peacock mantis shrimp yarn – so far very pleased with my choice. Looking forward to having a completed Graeme – he’s been on my to do list for almost three years – OOPS!! #crochetersofinstagram #crochet #edsanimals #crochetoctopus #graeme #edsmarineanimals #edsdyeclub #crochetaddict #crochetlife #crochetlove #crochetfun #crochetalong #kerrylord #toftaddict #toft_uk #toft_uk #suchfun

What an adventure Keanu the bobtail squid has had. He accompanied us to @rockandriverltd along with old and new friends. He enjoyed kayaking, canoeing, paddlebording, high and low ropes, but his all time favourite is the bell tent that meant I did not have to pitch a tent – SCORE!! Keanu is the latest #edsdyeclub from @toft_uk he is heading towards the top as a favourite!#crochetersofinstagram #crochet #crochetaddict #edsanimals #keanuthebobtailsquid #bobtailsquid #crochetbobtailsquid #rockandriver #funwithfriends #crochetlove #crochetlife #crochetfun #toftuk #toft_uk #toftaddict #handdyedyarn #crochetsubscription #suchfun

Part 5 of the #magpiemal done, it’s a real shame that the sparkly bits do not show…it looks lush though!

Parts 1-4 of the #magpiemal complete. Very much enjoying this stunner from @kcaco.uk @the_yarnwhisperer and @mrsgmakes don’t very often work with 4ply so it’s going to be a bit special! Next to wind the blue flash skein.#crochetersofinstagram #crochet #mal #makealong #crochetmakealong #mischiefmanaged #magpieinspiredcrochet #crochetmagpie #magpie #mischiefofmagpies #theyarnwhisperer #kcacouk #keepcalmandcarryoncrocheting #mrsgmakes #crochetaddict #crochetlife #crochetlove #crochetkeepsmesane #crochetfun #crochetshawl #suchfun

It’s the bestest person in the World’s 50th today! For her card I made a mini George doll using an @toft_uk pattern as a guide.

Very wet in a field in @bwchynuchaf have taught @the_real_poppy_snow to crochet – she’s busily making a granny square, I am doing a gauge swatch for the #cynthiadress (or top – not decided which yet) by @hanjancrochet not entirely sure how I’m going to block it, 4 tent pegs maybe??!#crochetersofinstagram #crochet #guageswatch #crochetgarments #cynthiatop #hanjancrochet #campingcrochet #crochetaddict #crochetlove #crochetlife #crochetfun #crochetclothes #suchfun

It is pattern release day for the #shinelikejulesshawl head over to @taralovescrochet for the details. #crochetersofinstagram #crochet #crochetshawl #shinelikejules #taralovscrochet #patternrelease

Over that last few weeks I have had the absolute pleasure of pattern testing for @taralovescrochet I have just gifted the #shinelikejulesshawl to my mum for her birthday (happy birthday mum ) so can now share some photos.#crochetersofinstagram #crochet #patterntest #crochetpatterntest #tlcfeelslikehome #taralovescrochet #crochetaddict #crochetlove #crochetlife #crochetfun #crochetpatterntester #suchfun #crochetshawl #shinelikejules

Day ten of @airali_gray #amigurumay2024 The fun part. I love gifting my makes to a select few, it’s lush seeing the looks on their faces when they open something handmade. My big two don’t let me photograph them so much these days, but this little dude loves getting in on the crochet action! He’s trying to steal #calypsothefrizzlechicken the most recent spring cal from @toft_uk #crochetersofinstagram #crochet #crochetgifts #crochetlove #crochetlife #crochetfun #crochetaddict #handmadegifts #amigurumi #amigurumay #suchfun

Day nine of @airali_gray #amigurumay2024 All time favourite. I don’t have a favourite make but I do have a favourite subscription. I absolutely love #edsbirdsclub from @toft_uk I really need to make all of the ones preceding Mia, the list however is already too long!!#crochetersofinstagram #crochet #crochetsubscription #crochetsubscriptionbox #birdsclub #crochetbirds #toftsubscription #edsbirds #edwardsmenageriebirds #crochetaddict #crochetlife #crochetlove #crochetfun #amigurumi #anigurumay #toft_uk #toftuk #toftaddict #suchfun

Day eight of @airali_gray #amigurumay2024 Hands at work. Pretty self explanatory really! My nails almost match my yarn #crochetersofinstagram #crochet #crochetaddict #amigurumi #amigurumay #crochetlife #crochetlove #crochetlife #awesomenails #suchfun

Day seven of @airali_gray #amigurumay2024 Hooks. My hooks have been rehomed from a very old well used case to a tin. There are loads in there but my two favourite are in the top – both 3mm one used with @toft_uk yarn and the other #tulip hook when I’m amigurumi-ing with other yarn (not my best photo but I’m tired!)#crochetersofinstagram #crochet #amigurumay #amigurumi #crochethooks #crochetaddict #crochetlove #crochetlife #crochetfun #crochetkeepsmesane #suchfun

Day six of @airali_gray #amigurumay2024 Fun stitches. I still find it amazing that with one simple stitch you can make many different shapes, then add in some special stitches – loops, bobbles, front post, back post, beads – lots of lovely texture is added.#crochetersofinstagram #crochet #amigurumay #amigurumi #crochetaddict #crochetlife #crochetlove #crochetfun #toftuk #toft_uk #toftaddict #edsdolls #edsbirds #edsanimals #alexandrasgarden #suchfun
