Crafty Bloggers Returns!

I, Lucy Wallace, am a terrible blogger. Perhaps as I'm a copywriter by day (and sometimes long into the night), writing for myself has lost its appeal.

Whatever the reason, Crafty Bloggers is back! Hopefully for good this time.

Since I last wrote, my yarn collection has grown. Unfortunately Nan had to stop knitting due to arthritis, so the drawer of wonders in her room is now 'mine'. Did I mention I learned to crochet and got obsessed with it too? Well I did, and made baby hooded jumpers for my nephew (more news! He's 8 months old now) and boyfriend's cousin's baby girl. Boyf's sister is now expecting, and I've made a car seat blanket (adapted from a pattern in Stitch & Bitch's The Happy Hooker) for them.

What I meant to get round to a paragraph ago was that I'm now knitting products, and thinking of making crochet beaded jewellery for Etsy. None are listed or sold yet, but I have two scarves in the making, and am planning on a baby girl's blanket, wire crochet necklaces and bracelets, and crochet catnip filled cat toys.

Anyway, I will stop going on about what I'm GOING to do and actually go and do it...
