If you crochet, virus shawls are a great way to calm your mind as the pattern is so easy to follow. This is one that I made in the summer from a pure cotton yarn. 🧢

This is my current crochet WIP. It's another Akaste shawl. Life is getting in the way right now so it'll be a few more weeks before I can carry on with it; I need to hide my hook and thus the temptation! 🧢

My Moroccan Mint Tea blanket took around forty hours to make but is a real heirloom piece and takes pride of place on the sofa in my kitchen. Made from an alpaca blend aran yarn it is super cosy. 🧢

That looks wonderful and your knitting is beautiful. I can't knit but it is on my list for this year to use my mum's old needles and learn!

I think that the Klaziena shawl is my favourite crochet project. I have done several over the last few years and they always take my breath away when done. 🧢

This is a gorgeous shawl I crocheted, made from a graduating grey cotton and with little Swarovski crystals dotted along the border. Subtle but eyecatching at the same time! 🧢

The first scarf that I wove from soft, snuggly, superwash Shetland wool.It proves that a plain weave doesn't have to look boring. 🧢

This was a throw that I made for a friend's daughter's wedding gift. Large enough for two to snuggle under on the sofa.

This is a scarf I wove a few months ago. The warp is Shetland wool with a little nylon for added strength and the weft pure Shetland. A good brushing after washing and drying has given it such a fluffy halo that it's like wrapping yourself in a cloud!

What's not to like about virus shawls? Easy projects sometimes just fill the need to not have idle fingers of an evening when your brain can't cope with a complicated pattern. Here's one I made several months ago from a graduating cotton yarn.

This is the first Tendrils scarf that I made, crocheted from pure camel wool. Very, very soft and very, very cosy!

This small Tendrils scarf is crocheted in a finer yarn than the one shown in my other photo but its light weight and size mean it can be rolled up and popped into your bag without taking up much space.

My latest creation is this snuggly Akaste shawl. Beautiful colours that I just want to wrap myself up in!
