Take a break from crafting and check out these corking crochet finds
crafting on the go
These cute little boxes are actually for lunchtime snacks, but they’re also the perfect size for those little haberdashery items that are so easily lost. And their soft, pliable finish makes them perfect for popping in your handbag. £5.99 for a set of three, plushaddict.co.uk
MODS AND ROCKERS
Molla Mills is turning crochet on its head with her bold, contemporary designs in her latest book, Modern Crochet (£20, Jaqui Small). With over 30 fully illustrated projects (and fab step-by-step shots), her geometric designs and over-sized makes are taking the limelight from the usual cosy projects. We’re head-over-heels in love with her decorative lampshades, featuring a simple crochet effect that will give any interior a unique finish. Go to makeittoday.co.uk for a free project download from Modern Crochet.
RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE
Crochet plus babies means one thing – adorable booties. This range is available in three cute designs – monkeys, giraffes and zebras – from Mud Pie. They are sure to put a smile on everyone’s faces whilst keeping tiny toes snug. £18 each, zigzaghouse.co.uk
