Inside crochet issue 39

Presenting Precious metals ring ,my latest  pattern published in this months Inside crochet.Variety is the spice of life and I am totally in love with exploring different materials  to crochet with .I made these  rings in jewellery wire which is available in such a beautiful array of colours.

Some have swarkoski crystals added in the center, others plain. I have made two sizes for those day when you want to wear a small delicate ring and  larger size(see turquoise one) for those looking for a big statement piece. I love these rings.

Aside from designing I am in the middle of learning to drive.I've booked my theory test and I trying my best to muddle through it. I'm taking driving lessons and feel comfortable behind the wheel .Just make sure you aren't on the roads on Wednesdays  from 12 til 2.

Inside Crochet issue 38

I'm thrilled to bits , my design  called "Concrete Scarf " is on the front cover of this month's  Inside Crochet magazine.I am always amazed how wonderful the styling makes my work  look. I love the close ups it really shows the detail off perfectly.

This scarf was inspired by the contrasts of great splodges of grey concrete in London, with occasional splashes of colour from flower beds – nature and architecture in harmony.

It is made with two balls of wonderfully soft alpaca,from Garnstudio Drops which also happens to be inexpensive and it is just as luxurious as  more expensive brands. I really recommend it.The flowers are made in cotton , they would look  great in any yarn really but I do love the stitch definition that you get with cotton.You can use those odds and ends from your yarn stash.
