We're all still #cleaning, so check out these #handmade #crochet #washcloths. They are #soft with a raised #waffle #texture which is good for #exfoliation. * * You can also use them as #cleaning #cloths or even as #placemats! They're #organic, 100% #cotton & can be #washed in the #machine or by #hand. * * Pop them in your #bag as a #napkin or #dying #towel, whilst you're out & about. They're #reuseable #EcoFriendly & fun to use! * * Pop in today between 11am-5pm, to choose the ones you like. You'll see them in a #wooden #bowl on a plinth, by the front door.

This #shopping #bag isn't new, but, I didn't like the #handles, so I cut them off! ✂. The mess in the 1st picture, is the unsuccessful result of last nights attempt! * * Instead of #crocheting the handles into the bag, I made 2 separate #straps, then, #sewed them on. Much happier, now! The bag stretches the more hings ate put in it. My #yoga mat fits in 🤗 * * I used a 4 & 5mm #SoftGrip #hook by @knitproeu & left over 4ply #organic #cotton #yarns, holding 2 strands together to #make the bag. This could be A good weekend or #BankHoliday #project! Go through your yarn #stash! This bag is #reuseable #recycleable #expandale #EcoFriendly #PlasticFree #handmade #colourful #NoPattern #IndieDesign #Shop on our #website #StaySafe #ShopSmall #ShopIndie (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAe4L2DH8fs/?igshid=1nd6j0ist3et4

Update. 3rd April I started to make a baby throw, but I changed my mind & #Helen said it was a 'lockdown' #throw! I finished it last night, so the first few #pictures are a bit dark, but it's all good. * * I used 2 #strands of #organic 4 ply #cotton #yarns held together in #beige & #cream. It measures 60x50 inches & no idea how heavy it is. It won't fit on my kitchen scales 🤣 * * The #pattern is the #CornerToCorner throw, which is a #free pattern #download. I used a 5mm #crochet #hook. * * Fancy making your own? You can use any colour(s) you want. These are #discontinued, but you can use any DK yarns or hold 2 strands of 4 ply together. This was not a quick #make! 😋 I enjoyed doing it, but was glad to see it finished! 🤗 * * #crochet #handmade #IMadeThis #SlowCrafting #TakingMyTime #skills #neutral #palette @knitproeu #waves #hook #FeltLambs by #Mec #CrochetersOfInstagram @hi.ravelry @bipocinfiber #instagood #indie (at Deptford London) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_WtW3cHUNO/?igshid=fsm0fsx6hvhk

Part 4, pictures of the yearly #craft night, last night at the #Blackheath&Greewich #Women's #Institute. Only 1person had #felted before. The rest were absolute beginners! They didn't want to get up to take a break to get #refreshments 😂 (at Blackheath, London) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4kADmFntmn/?igshid=1trnhzmkjl8ky
