I wrote a book!
My first book 'Modern Granny Stitch Crochet' is out now and I am so excited for you to get your hands on it! It took me almost a year to design, make and write all of the twelve patterns in this book and it was a true labour of love. You can order it here.

What to expect from my book
The focus is on seasons, with garments and accessories for every season of the year. The best part is that all the projects use my favourite stitch - The granny stitch. The stitches are used in a variety of ways; top down, bottom up, plain, striped, chevrons, ripples, fair isle and patchwork effect - so there will be something for everyone.
The size range is XS to 4XL (75cm to 145cm bust) and I have used a variety of different sized models so you can get an idea of how the garments look on different bodies.
The yarn used throughout the book is either Double knit or 4-ply, although some of the thicker DK projects could be worked in Worsted or a thin Aran. I'm really pleased with it and I hope you love the projects I've designed for you!
