WIP freeform crochet shawl, now nearly 6ft wide. Inspired by an autumn visit to Stirling and the Old Town Cemetery. To think it started off with that small Australia-shaped bit just before Christmas! Lots of surface work to do and length to add. No very expensive yarns in this one, but there will be some novelty ones in the surface work.

Hooray! Finally, I made it to 600 followers! How my latest freeform crochet WIP is getting on. A shaped shawl formed on my tailor's dummy - changed my mind about a throw. Abstract, colours inspired by an autumn trip to Stirling and a spectacular graveyard in the Old Town on a very cold but sunny day. I'm planning lots of surface embellishment.

So, you may know that I make a lot of custom crochet toys for people who send me photos or drawings of what they would like. I use a lot of amigurumi of course, but the rest is all freeform crochet. And it all started here with this very wall hanging a few years ago. I just hooked up the various stitches and used yarn colours that suited the narrative I was trying to tell, which was a beach with cliffs and a sky above. It was completely freeing and it made me realise that I could make things without having to use patterns if I wanted to. I called it "Painting with Yarn". Now I paint and sculpt with yarn when I make the custom toys I have turned into a passion and a little money earner on the side. It's very fulfilling and a lot of fun. Give it a go when you have a mo' 😊
