Crochet Basket Pattern

As promised, copy and paste the link below to get a copy of the pattern for the crochet basket for the home. www.scribd.com/doc/143863358/Crochet-Basket

Ok - I said I would let you see pictures of the Knitcol scarf on the grow and, here it is. I have now begun the 2nd ball - I have made sure that I choose the shade at random - I have found they look best that way and can be worn with more outfits.

 As well as this, I have this crochet blanket on the go - these are just a couple and, I mean a couple, of my UFO's (unfinished objects). One thing that upsets me ever so slightly is that I have a huge reputation for UFO's. Anyone else on the same page? Is it a well-known phenomenon/disease?

Anyone any ideas on the best way to tackle this problem? One at a time? A week on each one, a day on each one, a list?............


I just love colour and using it everywhere. My crochet squares are made from Woolcraft's beautiful Heritage double knitting (60% wool). Everything here is also available from my website - busybeewoolandcrafts.co.uk

Adriafil Knitcol

Just started this beautiful scarf last night - knitted with Adriafil Knitcol - called a Chevron scarf because of the unique pattern created.

Knits up really quickly on 4mm pins - double knitting pattern - watch it grow on here and on my facebook page - CraftyJacq's Craft Shop

Starting Over

Hello again everyone, here I am trying to link this blog to the shop so that I can write a wee log of all that is going on at CraftyJacq,s in Strathaven these days. First off, for those who don't already know it, the shop re-located in January of this year to Main Street. This move was inspired by the fact that the shop is now on 2 levels - downstairs, wool and haberdashery with jewellery-making supplies thrown in for good measure and upstairs a great big work-room housing all our fabric.

Loving the work-space! We are running classes for patch-work, quilting, knitting and crochet and future plans are for "Crafternoons" during the school holidays where for £5 a child, you and yours ( aged 5-?) can come along and experience a new craft like glass-painting, card-making, jewellery-making etc - bags of fun whilst spending quality time with the weans instead of trying desperately to keep them occupied at home since I am not sure we are going to get such great weather to have them go out to play :(

So, come visit this new blog regularly to hear all that going on at Crafty's this year xx
