Colour Palette: Miss Fox

My cousins and I chipped in to buy my Auntie a Day Spa package at Miss Fox for her 50th. I went into the studio to get the gift voucher and all I can say is Me-ow, the colour palette and visuals they use to brand themselves where just so chic. Was a tad impressed.

Inspirations: Crochet for Pets

Oh wow this poor animal, he has the same expression on his face as an ex did when I used to get him to try on blazers hahahaha. Bernadette from Sykesville USA crochets these incredibly imaginative pooch beanies. Head over to her Etsy store Sweet Hoots to see more (don't miss the viking helmet).

Tutorial:Planting Winter Veggies

I have a certified black thumb (you get one when you kill a Succulent), still I'm always excited by the idea of growing your own veggies. If you're planning on starting a little crop for winter I think this weekend is the time to get onto it! Check out this tute that uses recycled toilet rolls to start seedlings off before being transferred into your veggie patch. Good Luck.

Freebies: The Queen's Corgis knitting pattern

I'm hardly a monarchist but it's the Queens Diamond Jubilee this year and 60 years in the one job is a fair effort.

There's a book out by Lauren O'Farrell (fearless leader of the English knitting community Stitch London) that has a heap of patterns that recreate the characters of london, from Big Ben to rats! And to celebrate the Queen's diamond jubilee she's released the pattern for the Queens Corgis as a free download via Ravelry. Looks pretty cool.
