Cloud along... update

In October, I started the Cloud along..., a knit and crochet along for my Fluffy white clouds patterns. The Cloud along... was meant to run until the end of 2019, but life got in the way and I didn't finish my blanket. Oops.

Rather than close the Cloud along... with no finished blankets, I have decided to grant it an extension. The Cloud along... will now finish on February 14th 2020, which gives you roughly six extra weeks to finish your blanket! Perfect if you have a new baby, or nephling arriving in the near future, or if you want a new project that will brighten up your day while you wait for Spring to arrive.

Until I cast off my blanket, you can get 20% off either the knitted or crochet designs with the code CLOUDALONG

Both options can be found here: https://www.ravelry.com/bundles/cloud-along

Head to my Ravelry group to find out more and to join in.

Cloud along...

Got a new baby, or nephling arriving in the near future? Bored of the wet weather and want a project that will brighten up your day? Want to skip winter altogether and leap ahead to Spring? Hiding from all the Brexit news coverage? I might have just the thing...

Starting October 18th 2019, and running until the end of the year, I’m hosting a Cloud along… in my Ravelry group. You use either of my cloud blanket patterns to either crochet or knit a cloud blanket during this period, and I’ll be drawing one winner at the end from the chatter thread.

From the start date until I finish my cloud blanket, you can get 20% off either design with the code CLOUDALONG

I'll be casting on over the weekend, and would love for you to join me! Head to my Ravelry group to find out more.

New design: Fluffy White Clouds - the crochet version

Over the Easter break I released a brand new pattern, and today I've finally found five minutes to tell you all about it!

Several years ago I released my Fluffy White Clouds baby blanket knitting pattern, and since then it's been my best-selling pattern. Not wanting crocheters to be left out, my latest pattern is Fluffy White Clouds – the crochet version.

The blanket is perfect for spring, and in the traditional colours of sky blue and cream make a beautiful unisex blanket, or you can change the colours to match a nursery or the preferences of the people you're making the blanket for. One of my testers, Jo, made a fantastic high contrast version in cream and black.

Fluffy White Clouds – the crochet version is made using the mini corner to corner technique. The pattern includes a full colour chart, as well as written instructions for the colour changes. In addition, the pattern features a photo tutorial on the technique, making the project suitable for ambitious beginners.

The sample is crocheted in Paintbox Yarns Simply Aran,* a machine-washable, easy-care yarn that is perfect for babies. The yarn comes in 64 colours, so you'll have plenty of options!

The pattern is available now from my Ravelry store, and until the end of April (11.59pm BST, Monday 30th April 2018) you can get the pattern for just £3.**

Fancy some company while crocheting your blanket? I'm hosting a Blanket Along in my Ravelry group. The Blanket Along will run until the end of June 2018 and there will be prizes. Why not head over there to take a look?***
