Festive Flowers (from Christmas 2012)
I thought I'd share something with you from the woollen vault again!
New Halloween Pattern: Meet Peanut the Bat!
This spooky sweet pea [...] was first made as a prize for a Halloween treasure hunt for my family.
New Pattern: Meet Skye the Squirrel!
The inspiration for this little darling came when my mum saw a picture in a pattern book... of a pair of crocheted slippers that had been made fluffy... “That would look good on a squirrel’s tail” she said. And I simply had to test her theory!
Multicoloured Granny Square Baby Blanket
…11 years in the making!
Some time around 2013, I started making granny squares out of all my variegated yarns… I wondered “Now what am I supposed to do with all these squares??” So I decided I would make a blanket out of them.
Rebel Starfighter Pilot (from Star Wars)
May the Fourth be with you!
For my mum’s birthday last month, we decided to give the day a ‘Space/Sci-Fi’ theme. Along that vein, I wanted to crochet something from Star Wars.
Birthday Flower Wreath
My nan got me a book of flower crochet patterns... I thought I’d use that book to make her a wreath of some of her favourite flowers!
Mini Hot Cross Buns (from Easter 2021)
I’ve dipped into the woollen vault to share with you this crochet project from Easter past!
New Easter Pattern: Fillable Easter Eggs!
Share some Easter joy (and treats) with my first Easter pattern!
Valentine’s Day Flowers
I have spent the past week making each of my family members their favourite flower for Valentine’s Day!
Birthday Present: Necklace with Crochet Beads
Remember the necklace I made for my cousin for Christmas? Well, my sister saw me making it and liked it, so I thought I’d make one for her
New Chinese New Year Pattern: Meet Rong-Yi the Chinese Dragon!
A bigger, bolder pattern than I’m used to making, this flashy chap comes to you in time for Chinese New Year!
Crocheted Christmas Presents 2023
I mentioned in my very first blog post that I like to take times of giving gifts as an opportunity to crochet, and this Christmas was no different.
Accessories for a Christmas Bear
It’s Christmas! (or thereabouts)
A few months ago, when looking through my teddy boxes, I found this little fellow…So I thought I’d crochet him some new warm accessories!
What’s That Under The Bed…?
This year I took it upon myself to plan a treasure hunt for my family. The grand prize, of course, includes some spooky-themed chocolate treats, but I just had to add a little something extra…
New Christmas Pattern: Net Effect Baubles!
I am proud to present my first Christmas pattern!
New Pattern: Meet Ava the Apatosaurus!
One day, when my sister was feeling ill, I decided I wanted to make her something to help her feel better. Dinosaurs are her favourite thing in the world, so I thought I’d make her an apatosaurus.
New Pattern: Meet Ollie the Owl!
This little fellow was first made as a Halloween treat for my dad. He was delivered in a little cauldron with Halloween chocolates underneath. Next to him were two more similar cauldrons, each with a different Halloween-y animal, for the rest of my family.
New Pattern: Meet Mea and Kala the Koalas!
Of course, my first pattern on here had to be the little guy on my logo!
Welcome to Koalamea Crafts!
When I was eight years old, my mum sat down with my sister and me, gave us each a crochet hook that had once belonged to her grandmother and taught us how to make what I later found out was a granny square.
If she’d only known what she’d started.
