Don’t Stop Me Now
You know how I am employed by the Princess Mumble and Smallest Mumbler as Maker of Woolly Nonsense upon their every whim? Well, yeah… I got another “order” 😉 Mumble has decided she really might quite like a beautiful circle blanket for her birthday. She decided this on Sunday. Less than 2 weeks before said birthday. LOL. So, being WonderWoman…

I Got A Bit Giddy…
I made “Things”… Hurrah! … All of which you can buy, if you love them enough, in my store at redbubble.com! (If you’re looking for the pattern, you need the other blogpost which is here)

Crazy Little Thing Called Love
Here’s a pretty little thing that just fell out of my head one day, and I thought I’d write up the pattern to share with you! It’s easy to make for a beginner with the basic stitches, and works up super fast. A great little motif for adding to pretty much anything… headbands, hats, keychains, bags, scarves and much more.…

Happy Customer Alert!
Squee! Jess from Jessica’s Crochet made this for one of her lovely customers. It’s actually from my Fafa-Licious cowl pattern, but as this lady so beautifully demonstrates, it can be just as gorgeous as an ear-warmer! YAY! Many thanks to this pretty lady for her permission to use the photo! 😀 How cool is that? Two very happy customers with…

#TBT: Where It All Began.
This time five years ago, I picked up a hook for what was probably the 100th time to attempt to crochet. ” ‘Cos that’s what Mum’s do”. And on this day, five years ago, I was waiting to be a Mum. I. Was. HUGE. It was snowing and I was bored. I mean crawling the walls with boredom. If I…

Hey There! Are You New to My Woolly World??
I’m feeling a more than a little overwhelmed at the amount of work left to do on my website and the unending amount of support I’ve gotten from many of my fans whilst trying to get it all done. So, I took a step back today and thought to myself, “Beth, you know what’s missing from your site?? – THE…

Once Upon a Time…
… I couldn’t crochet. This time, five years ago, I had failed to pick up a hook and create anything that looked remotely pretty. My attempts more resembled “something the cat threw up”. Find out more about the humble beginnings of my love-affair with crochet here.

Blahhhh.
See… Most of the time, things go to plan. They go fairly smoothly. The Mumble Manor version of plan and smoothly probably doesn’t look like most people’s but… yeah we can live with that. Every so often though, a day comes along where nothing goes quite right. In fact it all goes very very wrong. The 5 hour hat I’m…

I can’t speak right now. Those poor souls. May the repercussions of this only strengthen the compassion and humanity that the decent people of this world have, and spread like a wildfire.

Arrows Tab Hat Review
I thought I’d tell you about a new pattern from Darcy of Darcy’s Crochet Creations. It’s a cute hat named the Arrows Tab hat, and it’s available from Darcy on her Ravelry page here. Well, from time to time I test items for my fellow “hookers”. This means that I take their written pattern, work it up, and then give…

A Note about Craftsy and Ravelry
If you’re here because you’ve spotted one of my patterns on Ravelry or Craftsy, and its disappeared, fret not! I’ve temporarily removed my paid patterns from sale on these sites until they’ve worked out what they’re going to do about supporting sellers with the EU VAT Law. No animosity or drama, I just don’t want to get caught up in…

hurty headness
I think, if I took off my headphones, that my brain and possibly lots of code, would leak out of my ear. *sigh* I’m getting there. My website will be beautiful and gorgeous and lovely to navigate and all the effort will be worth it but it’s still a work in progress. As much of a pain in the bum…
