Berrington Hall . . .






Back in 2nd year now and one of our modules is based on the National Trust property in Leominster - Berrington Hall, these are just some images of the work i have done since i went back. I am mainly looking at the marble in the opening hall and satellite images and maps of the property.

Loopy Crochet Bangle . . .

For Uni I am exploring crochet and traditional yarn crafts and i came upon the loopy stitch, once understood and practiced my boyfriend suggested I should make it into a bangle so here it is...

My boyfriend has been unwell, and this has brought out his creative side, he made me this bangle from a swan filters box and asked if i would blog it so here it is handmade by Dan....

100g DK Yarn Infinity Rope Scarf . . .


I accidentally bought a ball of the wrong dye lot for the jumper I have started to make so instead of let it sit i decided I would finger knit the whole ball to see what it turned out like, after i'd started I realised it was quite thin, so I halved the ball of wool and used two strands to produce a thicker knit.

After i had knit the whole ball of wool i began to crochet a chain with my hands and sewed the two ends together to create a loop.
