I was delighted to chat with her about what I do and why and I'm so grateful that they have published the article which includes a mention for the lovely people at deramores who have given me tremendous support over the last couple of years. Thanks everyone.
Although I haven't received my printed copy of the magazine I've seen a preview of the piece and was delighted to see that Happy the Hippo made top of the page! I sent loads of photos of crocheted items and it's interesting to see which things they chose:
 |
| Happy the Hippo who has appeared on my blog here and here |
 |
| The chair-back hanging I made using motifs from Jane Crowfoot's crochet club 2013 which I wrote about here and here |
 |
| The beautiful mandala I made using Carola Herbst's pattern which I wrote about here and here |
I'm thinking of having a go at making an overlay mandala of my own to send to Lucy at Attic 24 for her wonderful Yarndale project - have you seen all those beautiful mandalas that people have sent from all over the world? Just beautiful and all so different.
And then this photo taken before the London marathon back in April. You can read all about my adventures on London marathon day here.

In the end I managed to make 2 blankets out of the chains I completed during the race (read about them here) with some yarn left over to make 2 cushions for our gazebo (see here and here)!
Lastly there was a photo of me in the garden with my crochet. It was taken the evening of The Three Forts Challenge which was my 4th marathon of this year and I was enjoying a nice glass of red wine to celebrate!
It's funny seeing yourself in print and I often cringe at some of the photos of me that appear all over the place, especially when I'm running - lycra does nobody any favours I can tell you!
I'm off out into garden now to enjoy a bit of hooky time with some more African flower motifs (see my previous post about that little project).
