Little Spools

Hey everyone!  This is a quick update that I forgot to include my earlier post announcing a few new changes to my blog. For reference you can still find my  Life Update 2021  post (which was my first post after being inactive from July-November 2021) and subsequently the  Blog Update  I posted later that month to explain what's the new function of this blog. You can read more about that in that article!  If you've read it already, you'll remember that I announced a couple of changes to how my posts on this blog are going to be structured and what I'll be mainly focusing on. I forgot to include a very important part but as I've already explained the gist of it in that post I'mma make this update short and sweet!  As of November 2021 onwards, all new material added to the blog will be under version 2.0 of the Little Spools blog. Which means that any post dated before November 2, 2021 (to be exact) is old blog material (Dec 2020 - July 2021) . This d...

Hey everyone,  Happy Australia Day! 😝 If you've been keeping up with my blog recently, you'll remember me mentioning that I'm currently nearing the end of summer break (it's been a wonderful 2 months), which calls for a post to wrap up all the new creations I've made during this holiday. These last seven weeks have been full of the beach, camping and crochet! Plus, because we've had to shut down stalls for now because of COVID, I've had some extra time on my hands to try out some more complicated creations.  I've already announced 3 of these projects in previous posts: my  scarf project (which doubled as a yarn review) and two dolls, Alice in Wonderland and Belle (which you can read about in this  post ). However, I'm excited to share that I've got more to add to the list!  Remember how I hinted in my last post that I wasn't done with my princess dolls? Well, wait no longer - they're here!  This collection of photos (no particular order...

Dear friends,  I'm back with more adorable cuteness, this time in a shorter post than last time round as there are a couple of things I'm scrambling to get done while also publishing this. (The holidays are drawing to a close, so I'm maximising the limited time I have until school starts again!)  On a side note, I've already received several suggestions for yarns I should review next. I'm already shopping around for them and I can't wait to try them all out! I thought I'd begin the amigurumi chapter of 2022 with two gorgeous beauties I whipped up in the holidays. I was quite busy in the weeks leading up to Christmas till just about last week, when I decided to take a short break from crochet/sewing. Every crocheter knows: if you don't take some time for yourself in between bursts of intense crafting, you can lose that drive and motivation real quick!  Anyway, this is a slightly delayed post since these two dolls have been sitting in my basket for a good ...

Hey guys! I hope you had a fantastic New Year and am enjoying 2022 so far!  I haven't written down any resolutions as of yet.. and we're already more than halfway through January (oops). (I tend to write them down but forget about them after a few weeks, so I guess that's not very helpful either). What goals have you made for this year? I've actually got some cool crafting goals in mind for this year, but bearing in mind the increased school load in year 10, I might not get to do them all :(. We'll see how we go, and anything that I finish will be up here on the blog for you guys to read about it!  Anyway, now that my unofficial New Year's break from posting has finished, I've decided to kick off 2022 with ANOTHER yarn review!!!!!!! I ended last year with a post about Moda Vera's Mega Tweed yarn on Christmas Day - you can read all about that super experience  here!!! After that instance, I realised that I had really enjoyed experimenting with a yarn I h...
