So on Saturday I had a photoshoot for an upcoming story in Adelaide’s newspaper about learning to crochet! Here I am with my wonderful and (very) patient teacher Pauline at her shop Yarn Pig. When the story appears, I’ll share it here. Here we are being supermodels 🤣 I’m holding a blanket I made from granny squares and Pauline of course made her own jumper!

Do you use one of these when knitting or crocheting? I’d seen these neck lights advertised online and my interest was piqued as a way to solve the problem of having all the overhead lights on at night when The Husband and I are watching TV and I’m crafting. When I saw them advertised by an actual bricks and mortar store that I’ve actually visited in Sydney, I thought I’d bite the bullet. And I love it! ... See MoreSee Less
