What’s not to love about International Crochet Day? I love nothing more than sitting down and creating with my crochet hook and I love that it has it’s own special day on September 12.
I’ve started a little bit of a tradition on International Crochet Day where I share my favourite crochet things (here’s my favourites from 2013 and 2014).
So here are my favourite crochet things in 2016.
I’ve been crocheting with these babies for a couple of years now and I love their ergonomic feel. I first discovered them after getting pain in my hands and arms from too much crochet and now I’m able to crochet all day long with them.
I also love that they’re all different colours and range in size from 0.5mm (teeny, teeny, tiny!) through to 8mm.
Earlier on in the year I was squishing some yarn that had been naturally dyed for me and I was hit with a flash of inspiration for a cowl design.
It became my Uncommon Beauty Cowl and it is the perfect combination of warmth and softness.
I love how the colours and textures are unusual and intriguing.
This has been my go-to cowl this winter because it keeps the cold winter winds off my neck.
I feel in love with Silver Lining when I knitted my first jumper with it. It feels so soft, squishy and warm. Ahhhh yarn heaven.
I also love that it’s fully grown and made in New Zealand from coloured wool. It celebrates a line of merino sheep that are rare and geographically separate – it’s a very special yarn.
I love discovering and sharing beautiful yarns that feel good and that make me feel good.
With love, Lynda.
Hi! I’m Lynda (she/her) and I’m the lady behind Homelea Lass.
I’m here to help you improve your crochet skills and to help you find peace and happiness in your creative time.
In 2012 I was knocked down by debilitating chronic fatigue that put an end to my blossoming career as a Civil Engineer and Project Manager.
Early on in my illness, I discovered that I could crochet without draining my energy, so I spent my days crocheting, researching yarns and designing – this is how Homelea Lass was born.
My experience with chronic illness has guided me to combine my passion for exceptional design and crochet. I’ve developed a way of crocheting that’s enjoyable, easy to understand, and maximises it’s relaxing and wellbeing properties.
As my healing journey has progressed, Homelea Lass has grown, and I feel blessed that I can share my love of Australian merino wool, chunky crochet and creativity with you.
