Hello all! I am another new corner for this fabulous blog. My name is Em, although I am known online as Fearful Penguin. I am based in Saltaire, West Yorkshire and I love to craft! I try my hand at all sorts of crafts and love learning and experimenting with new techniques. My current loves are sewing and altering clothes, of which I am sure you will see blog posts about in the future!
Today, however, I wanted to show off the rainbow crochet cushion I made as a present for a friend. I’m not particularly fast at crochet and this is the biggest item I have ever crocheted. It was mainly made on the train whilst travelling to and from work – this is what I love about crochet, it is one of the few forms of craft that you can easily do anywhere – I crochet on trains, buses, in cafes and even in pubs! It was made by making five different squares (one large, four small) and then fastening them together using single crochet, which meant that whichever part I was working on at the time was easily transportable.
This cushion has taken me over a month to make, but I am very proud of the final product – it is perfect for my friend and she loved it!

That rocks – go Em! You’re right, crochet is beautifully transportable – so much more so than knitting, as there’s no worry of stitches coming off needles.

I think I may have broken the scarf I was knitting for my mum for exactly that reason Kirsty – its so much easier to pull back and rescue crochet than it is knitting!

I recently found a crocheted rose with little green leaves for a crocheted hairclip for little girls – is there any way I could get a hold of the pattern to try to make for my grandchildren? please reply to
