“Tu me manques 💔” - I miss you x
I love the French language because they say things so beautifully : The literal translation of this is “You are missing from me”. And today is proving to be a little bit more tricksy for me than every other day x

Today I said the soft goodbye to my beautiful Bertie Beauceron. I can’t express the utter and complete devastation that has happened in my heart. He gave me such hope and determination, and reasons to keep going through some pretty awful and tough times. He steadfastly kept me from sinking and feeling lost, and, in loving him so bloody much, knowing I had his unconditional love, he made sure that I had good reason to keep on keeping on,and to get through. I can’t imagine a day, let alone a future without this giant, nose whistling, gallumphing buffoon with a giant-sized personality to match his hugeness. He loved every living creature that he met, and we shared an amazing adventure: We were intrepid. I’ve lost my true north.
I can’t and won’t say goodbye to you my gorgeous Bertie, because I know you’ll be there one day to meet me # # sleep peacefully and dream of rabbits # # #

Getting ready for the release of the latest Bertie Boo Baby Blanket pattern - 'Evie's New Leaf, New Life Story Blanket'...the design was inspired by the arrival of a beautiful baby boy, and his Dad's love of trees xx
The pattern creates a super soft, squishy texture which is perfect for snuggles, and the size ensures that it is big enough to share at storytime xx

Random question time: do any of my Facebook friends know where I can lay my hands on rush (to plait with). I’m looking for a supplier, not necessarily in the UK. I’ve heard of a Dutch supplier but have no contact details 😀 xx any ideas people? Xx

That peaceful feeling

A review full of wonderful, kind words xx

The long-awaited pattern for the 'Hibiscus Rose Shawl' has finally landed!

“In many spiritual and cultural traditions, hibiscus is regarded as a symbol of beauty, femininity, and grace. In some spiritual practices, the hibiscus flower is believed to represent the energy of the heart chakra, which is associated with compassion, empathy, and unconditional love."
-Potted Pixie

This is a pattern written with beginners in mind, and is written in a slightly long-handed format, to support newcomers to the world of crochet, and hopefully they can create a wonderfully beautiful Shawl for themselves in the practice of their stitchcraft!! It uses only very basic stitches, and has photos to help you along too.

I created a few Hibiscus Rose shawls whilst I was drafting this pattern, and I loved them all. When I discovered SIRDAR Jewelspun Aran yarn, I was inspired!!!!! I knew that this would be my yarn of choice for this pattern, but there are no rules for wool weight with this - you can create the shawl in any weight (don't forget that the weight of yarn will alter the finished size of the shawl) - and colourway. I used three colourways whilst perfecting my technique and they are featured in the photos:
Northern Lights (839) Tourmaline Dream (850) and Evening Jade (852).

You can find the pattern, ready for instant download in my ETSY shop: https://bertieboocreations.etsy.com/uk/listing/1648376894/easy-crochet-pattern-beginner-friendly

I have yarn envy for this! 🐑 # # #

It may be cold outside but wearing wool means that you do not have to layer up to extreme levels. Layering fine next to skin pieces with over jumpers/cardigans and outerwear coatings with accessories allows you to move from outside to inside whilst maintaining a thermoregulation and ambient temperature.
