A little update!

 Happy Friday, Lovelies!

Woweee, what a week it's been worldwide, right? We truly are living through historic times. In the future when people wonder how we got through these times we can safely say " crochet saved our day, everyday! ". To all you lovelies who commented on the last post and shared some of your New Year's thoughts with me, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I really loved reading through each and every comment. You are all such an amazing bunch, really you are.


I wanted to let you all know that the Chrysalis Throw  Mystery-Make Along is in progress. I'm not crocheting at my usual speedy pace and that's because my household is very disruptive at the moment. It's been impossible to get a quiet moment to myself to think and design. However....no worries as I am moving forward even if somewhat at a plod. In the meantime, I'm sharing some absolutely gorgeous colourways for the Throw, so far, and I'm VERY excited anticipating seeing these colours grow into the Throw size! They are all beautiful but some did make my heart beat a little faster!

Also, there's been a bustle of activity going on in the background as some of my lovely Testers have been working through older patterns making sure to straighten out a few gremlins. I can't thank them enough! I know many of you Lovelies have been waiting for ages for the latest update for the Durban Spice Girls. If you purchased this pattern way back, you should find an update in your Ravelry Library. Perhaps your download links have expired? Let me know if they have or you could email Ravelry to request a fresh download link.





💗 Our Giveaway this Friday is 5 copies of the Durban Spice Girls and 5 copies of the Chrysalis Throw Mystery-Make Along. If you do comment, don't forget to leave your Ravelry name and let me know which pattern you would like. Also, don't forget to check your Ravelry to see if you're a winner!😃


Lovelies please take care of yourselves, stay safe and crochet on!

Warm Hugs and Best Wishes,

Jen xx

      Oh, Dalia, I'm so sorry to hear this! Thankfully your Hubby is recovering and I will keep your MIL in my thoughts! It's getting to the point now where we all know someone with Covid and that really brings it so much closer to home. We have several friends and Fam isolating with the virus. It's very scary! Please stay safe and pass on my very best wishes to your Husband and MIL for a full and speedy recovery. Take care and big HUGS to you. xx

    Hi Jen, a giveaway again, wow!
    I'm a beginner what your patterns concerns, but I love all your designs.
    Currently working on the Nomad Cowl as it seems a nice little pattern to start with. I love your videos, especially the little "oopsies" that I don't notice before you say it.

    Kind regards,

      Aw, Darts thank you as always! Noelene and I are trying our best to bring some fun to our Group...especially during these troubled times. I've started watching a Finnish detective series on Netflix called Bordertown. I always say I was born in the wrong country because I love the cold so much. I design and crochet much better in the Winter. I hope you have a wonderful weekend! :) xx

    Jen, I know the feeling of the current times and plodding along. Just waiting for more daylight and sunshine up here in the northern hemisphere, as it seems when the sun is shining through while I crochet, I feel blessed. All of your patterns are full of beauty and inspiration! The Chrysalis is lovely like the beginnings of a butterfly...that would be my pick for happier Spring and Summer days. Ravelry: Filizali

    Hi Jen, I would love the Chysalis pattern, I'm kinda depressed after my mom's passing Dec 21. We've been spending time dealing with her belongings and emptying the house, this is hard. I need an escape! But I have my grandsons the 2 year old loves to get into my yarn he must be part cat, maybe that is why they named him Leo

    I am here to give my testimony about Dr Ebhota who helped me.. i want to inform the public how i was cured from (HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS) by salami, i visited different hospital but they gave me list of drugs like Famvir, Zovirax, and Valtrex which is very expensive to treat the symptoms and never cured me. I was browsing through the Internet searching for remedy on HERPES and i saw comment of people talking about how Dr Ehbota cured them. when i contacted him he gave me hope and send a Herbal medicine to me that i took for just 2 weeks and it seriously worked for me, my HERPES result came out negative. I am so happy as i am sharing this testimony. My advice to you all who thinks that there is no cure for herpes that is Not true just contact him and get cure from Dr Ebhota healing herbal cure of all kinds of sickness you may have like (1) CANCER,(2) DIABETES,(3) HIV&AIDS,(4) URINARY TRACT INFECTION,(5) CANCER,(6) IMPOTENCE,(7) BARENESS/INFERTILITY(8) DIARRHEA(9) ASTHMA(10)SIMPLEX HERPES AND GENITAL(11)COLD SOREHERPES. he also cure my friend from cervical cancer Email: drebhotasoultion@gmail.com or whatsapp him on +2348089535482
