latest news 8 April 2024

So apparently on my biggest sale weekend of the year my website stopped working and I didn’t notice as I was so busy at the Swiss Yarn Festival!! So if you came here after picking up my card at the festival, so sorry it appeared like I had no website (not brilliant!) It is all fixed now after some fiddling around so back online. Phew!!

Don’t forget to check out and subscribe to my YouTube channel for crochet. In the beginning I will be publishing content there for beginner crocheters learning to crochet. I’ll be adding to it over time and I hope to make it a great resource for all my learners. https://www.youtube.com/@craftroomcrochet
