TOFT Dye Club: Sawyer the Ghariel
My second installment for TOFT's Dyeclub is this fantastic Ghariel. Greens are not usually my colour, but I loved making this up, with a little help from my husband holding the yarn whilst I balled it up on our return journey from
Glasgow at the end of April.
Each quarter the club delivers a 100g skein of hand dyed yarn exclusive to the club, with a pattern written specifically for it. This quarter's animal is Sawyer the Ghariel in green tones with a splash of brown too.
The next installment has already arrived, so if you wanted to join in the club, please see the links below, and keep an eye on the channel for the next video. Thank you for watching!

This past weekend, the lovely Laura of @thelonelyknitter7969 opened her brand new dye studio in Lowestoft, the most Easterly town in the UK, and I simply couldn't pass up the chance to visit and to show my support too. As it's a couple of hours from home I booked myself a hotel room in Yarmouth and hit the road nice and early. The studio is a lovely little nook filled with Folk yarn, a yarn ble...

The Imaginist Subscription box is the perfect opportunity to have a go at 'designing' your own project using the TOFT wool and basics to get started. The idea is to be inspired by the colours provided and challenge yourself to create something unique, with the only stipulation being that you must use the Imaginarium book, the standard body form and elements from any of the previously released T...
100 hours of Cross Stitch - 100 Day Project part 1
Просмотров 962 месяца назад
Have you heard of the 100 day project? Back in 2021 I decided to have a go, with the overall idea to create or work on something every day for 100 days. I chose to work 1 hour of stitching on a languishing cross stitch project in the hopes of completing it. To my surprirse, I completed the first project and immediately moved onto another. The first project is an old kit I purchased from eBay fo...

He’s great love the colour and it’s good to see you getting challenged with these makes 😊
@@lyndaharrison-iv7rj thank you, I do love a challenge, which is starting to get harder to find 😂
Missing you.
Missing you too x
A lovely catch up, Maddie
@@carolcollinson8245 thank you Carol X missing everyone though x
Welcome to Glasgow! Hope you love it here.
@@cooriecrafts thank you, I'm looking forward to meeting lots of new people x
Hope you will be happy in your home. Love your videos.
@@nicolaferguson9039 thank you Nicola x
Looks fantastic Mads 🎉
@@lyndaharrison-iv7rj thank you Lyn x
Your Roloway monkey is adorable such a great make 😊❤
@@marcialugg2538 thank you so much, he was certainly a challenging make ☺️
Do you he vídeo tutorial? So cute❤
@@EllenAssuncao-g9e hi there, unfortunately no as this is a TOFT kit and they produce their own tutorials to accompany the patterns x
Looks like you had an amazing weekend 😊 xx
@@lyndaharrison-iv7rjmost definitely 😁
I'd love to get that box but it's too rich for my blood I'm, afraid xx
The rainbow cake is lovely and bright. Looking forward to working with the yarn :)
Loved your Vlog I'd love to go to the festival xx
This is the second time I have visited and I have loved it on both occasions. Most definitely something I would recommend!
You should make the top Mads it’s lovely 😊
I think that's what I'm going to do, will give me something different to work on.
Go on get the next one so you end on box 50
😆 I am very tempted by it...
Looks so beautiful and tranquil xx
@@lyndaharrison-iv7rj it really is 😁
I am moving to lowestoft shortley so am very interested to see what they have to offer :) Can yarn be ordered online ?
@@scrappaddy it can indeed, Laura isn't a shop as there is already a yarn shop in Lowestoft, however she hand dyes yarn and has her own exclusive yarn brand, which can be found on her website. I will grab the details for you and add to the description as well.
Bo is magnificent!!!
@@woolleyally I love him so much and now can't wait to make the red one 😁
Love the needle toppers. And the yarn, can't forget the yarn ❤
Love the care bear yarn where did that one come from?
@@sambrown1234 it's all from Laura @thelonelyknitter aka @folkyarnstudio on Instagram 😁 I love it!
Looks fantastic ❤
@@kristyl.2398 thank you Kristy x
He’s amazing 🤩
@@lyndaharrison-iv7rj thanks Lyn x
I love your turtles.
Thank you so much Mel x
Love the beret why don’t you leave it the size it is and either sell it or keep for a sample then you can make yourself a bigger one when you get to Scotland using your 6.5 hook 😊 xx
I could do, but not likely to make any more for me. I already have one in marble chunky and now the 2 coloured one, so might just leave it as is at the moment and then redo once I get my 6.5mm hook.
Well done Maddy she’s lovely xx
Thank you lyn x
Finally catching up on your videos. The imagination creations are so gorgeous and I love the contrast on your hats. I'm right there with you with the yarn thing. Amazing how a house move puts stashes into perspective 😂
Thank you, I've been enjoying the imaginist boxes but not sure how long I can continue with them. And I've been wanting to do the two tone berets since i designed the snowflake pattern lol. It really does! Because I couldn't see it all before, I was oblivious to what I had but now that it's all visible its going to make working so much easier and I 🤞 won't be buying so much.
Hurrah for the 100 day project! Im doing it again too as you know. My heaven and earth design pattern had hidden itself away so ive stsrted with a Percy the train cross stitch for R. X😊
Yes I saw the start of your Percy, looking good. I think its going to be my July project as I'm so close to finishing a blanket this month so once that's out of the way I'll be stitching
@@TheHouseOfLangford you're finishing so many things! Amazing! And new blanket for new home
Hello Wileg. I think you should continue with the imaginist box. You get so much enjoyment from them and isn't that what its all about?
Thank you Michelle, it is indeed. I think because I'm starting to fall behind on the installments at the minute because of packing etc but maybe once I'm settled I won't feel so out of sync x
Looks amazing 🤩
Thanks Lyn! Looking forward to working on the Samurai again and finishing up another 100 hours :)
Wow Maddy, they are both amazing, such a lovely video which documents progress over time. I really enjoyed that x
Thank you so much Lorraine x I really enjoyed the project and am looking forward to completing the second set of 100 hours 😃
I love your amigarumi makes, they are so cute. You probably know already but you can buy a cheap pillow and use the filling for stuffing, very cost effective. Hope the last stages of the move go well
Hi Sarah, I do love working on Amigurumi pieces, the gratification when I finish one is so wonderful that I can't stop crocheting them. I've managed to pick up a bag of stuffing, not sure why but I don't like using pillow stuffing unless I have a huuuuuge piece to stuff lol.
The triceratops is lovely. I need the dinosaurs magazine really badly.
I'm so glad I picked it up at The Stitch Festival in March. I've been eyeing it up since I saw it!
I really like the Toft subscriptions. How about Mamie for the creature's name? Looking forward to the pictures of your new space. Funny but I also have a cross stitch piece (5 panels that make up the nativity) that I need to soak, press and get framed. It's been on my to do list for over 15 years - see there's this small rust spot...- point is, my suggestion is to do Dad's gift first ❤
Thank you Michelle, Mamie is a lovely name x whilst sorting stuff for the move I found a whole bunch of finished cross stitch pieces that need washing and framing, as well as a couple of pieces that just need the finishing touches on too. Thinking they will be some of the first things I sort out once I'm fully moved 😃
Will you be doing the next rosina cal?
Not this time around I'm afraid as I still need to finish the 'on the seashore' and 'postcards with love' so I've banned myself from starting anymore blankets
Since when has a ban ever stopped you lol
haha, yeah I might buy the pattern but I have no business making it yet or buying the yarn for it when I have a room filled with yarn...
I love the beret
Thank you so much Sam x I can't wait to see how it looks when it's finished
I agree with you also Maddie on the box, I wasn’t that pleased with it. I love the cherish pink and white ball of yarn and accessories, I wasn’t that keen on the wooden box to be honest. I thought this was my last box with crochet society but have 2 more boxes to go 😃 My boxes are piling up and I’m not getting around to doing them so thought I better stop the subscription. I hope your packing up is going well for you xx 🤗💐
I feel the same way about all the boxes piling up. I started combining the box contents so they took up less room but there are still so many... with the move it's definitely time to cancel and continue with my TOFT subscriptions as I've been working those up, even if I'm a little behind, I am at least interested in making them and don't have to make a choice between projects 😁
@TheHouseOfLangford same here, I put a lot of them together and thought actually I have no more space what with my sewing projects as well 😄 I'm pleased you have got something now that sparks your interest 😊 I do wish you happiness in your new place also, exciting times ahead xx
Thank you so much Maria, I really do look forward to them so I'm excited each month, sadly the Crochet Society ones haven't made me excited since box 42 and 43, (the big pink flowers and the Rosina Plane boxes) I like to think that once I'm settled in my craft room, I'll set about working each of them up and being able to share them a little more on the channel too.
I agree with you on the box. Love what was in it but the patterns, not so much. And the stuffing is like sand at the beach - it gets into places you never would've thought lol.
Lol the stuffing definitely got everywhere! Such a shame with the patterns as the rest is so lovely.
I ❤ how you have acquisitions as you're packing for moving...to another country! Crazy, but whatever keeps us sane, right? I really like that the cowl and trim on the poncho is in a bold red. Nice choice. As you were showing Frieda I was saying to myself, she needs some yellow flowers in her hair. Great minds and all that. Lol Lastly I love the hair, which looks like dreadlocks to me, on the Imaginist doll. Not sure about the mushroom hat though. Looking forward to seeing the wings and whatever else you dream up😊
Thank you Michelle! Once I'm all unpacked Frida will be getting her yellow flowers 🏵 😃 I just can't resist making purchases, however now that I have moat of my yarn unpacked I am most definitely in the knowledge that I really, really, do not need anymore whatsoever!!! 😄
I've never understood the love of stickers, but putting them into a notebook makes sense, sort of like a scrapbook of stickers
Honestly I do not understand it either but I was obsessed as a kid and apparently that hasn't fully gone away 😂
Great job ❤
Thank you, I love making him x
Beautiful yarn and yes Maddy we need to learn to make socks, bring your sock book on Monday 😊 xx
Sounds like a plan 😉
Very interesting thank you for sharing with us.
My pleasure x
That’s amazing 🤩
Thank you Lyn!
Please post a tutorial I’m trying to crochet him and just keep getting stuck 😅
Hi there, Unfortunately this isn't my pattern, therefore I'm unable to create a tutorial, however you are welcome to get in touch and I will try to help as much as I can.
@@TheHouseOfLangford thank you so so much!!
Sookie is lovely, those speckles are amazing
Thank you Sarah, it really was a labour of love those speckles. But once I started, everything needed speckles lol
Pretty cute.
Thank you, I really enjoyed working on it, even if it isn't what I originally planned.
Wondering if you can slow video in areas like the head, showing how the hexagon shapes the head and attaching parts of flamingo.? Was trying to stop and start to view but not able to do that. 😊
Unfortunately as it's not my pattern I'm unable to do a tutorial for it, therefore this video is more of a review and time-lapse of the making process. I have however drawn up a diagram I would be happy to forward to you if you message my Facebook page x
