🐊✨ Just when you thought the spring chill was snapping at your heels, I've whipped up something to keep me cosy and stylish! It's the fiercest scarf in town, featuring the jaw-dropping crocodile stitch! 🧣💚

These scales aren't just for show; they're a testament to the patience and skill it took to craft this beauty - it's not an easy stitch but once you get the hang of it, you take to it like a croc to water 😂

If you fancy embracing your inner crocodile and facing this stitch with a whole lot of bite, then keep an eye on my workshop timetable as this one is a frequent occurrence!🐊💫

Crocheted using many skeins of hand dyed yarn from @vixterwoolista 😍

🙌 CROCHET WORKSHOPS! 😍 I've been super busy

🙌 CROCHET WORKSHOPS! 😍 I've been super busy behind the scenes adding LOADS of crochet workshops for YOU and you've been super busy booking on them! 🧡

There's a few new ones on the list at the moment....Mosaic Workshop (so blooming addictive), Bobble Stitch (the possibilities of what you can create with this stitch are endless) and a SECRET CROCHET WORKSHOP for my crochet community - but my lips are sealed on that one!

Relaxed and friendly and all in the comfort of my beautiful Crochet Cabin, Secret Crocheter workshops comfortably accommodate between 2-6 people (so they’re a great chance to meet new people and talk about crochet, as well as to make something new and woolly!).

The Crochet Cabin is a joy to behold (I know, I’m biased, but ask the others – they flipping love it too). Set in my little Wiltshire garden, the cabin sits among trees and shrubs and we are frequently surrounded by singing birds. It’s glorious throughout the seasons. And it’s not bad inside, too; you’ll be inspired by the makes and colours of the cabin as well as the famous wall of wool. Not a bad place to spend a few hours, if I do say so myself.

If you fancy having a closer look at what's on in The Crochet Cabin over the next few months, I've popped a link up there for you ☝

My new year's resolution was to crochet more for myself this year and so far, so good! 🎉💖 It's taken a while to make as I keep getting side tracked by crochet workshops for you, but I couldn't be happier with how it's turned out! 😍💕 I've used @rico_design Fluffily which is super lovely to work with, and my very own cardigan pattern 🧶

Happy Tuesday to you 🧡

I hope you had a lovely weekend, wherever you are and whatever you were up to?!

Thought you might like to see some of the cards that I've been making recently - I'm still addicted to these crocheted hearts and I'm trying my hardest to show you that you can use them all year around! ❤️🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🤍

The FREE pattern for these hearts went out to my CABIN CREW members last month but you can grab yourself a similar FREE pattern from me (link in the bio ☝ )

LOADS of you have grabbed the FREE pattern already - I'd love to see some pics of your crocheted hearts to please send me photos! 📸

So, here’s a proper secret coming up: since I resigned from my teaching job in 2018, I’ve been trying to shake off the feeling of ‘being a teacher’. But no matter how hard I’ve tried, the love of teaching and learning just won’t budge; I just love teaching – it’s that simple!

And the thing is, I’m not too shabby at it either, which means I can teach you how to crochet a whole host of modern and trendy makes, and instil a confidence in you that you didn’t know existed. You’ll be the talk of the town once your friends and family start seeing all your handmade creations appearing around your home and garden!

And another little secret – your love of learning something new becomes addictive, and once you start, you can’t stop!

I’ve always been able to crochet, ever since my

I’ve always been able to crochet, ever since my mum taught me when I was around 8 years old, but I didn’t truly understand its importance in my life until I started to struggle with anxiety in my 30s. In the midst of panicking and sweating over something quite irrational, I discovered that crochet released a calmness in me that I couldn’t find anywhere else. I suppose the effects are similar to mindfulness, in that all I was focussing on was the here and now of crocheting. And of course, this was followed very quickly by a deep joy when I’d created something that I could either wear, use or give as a gift. I don’t think it is an exaggeration to say that crochet sort of healed me, and I soon wanted to share this skill with others.

One thing led to another and before I knew it, Mr SC had built me The Crochet Cabin, which is where I spend my days teaching wannabe crocheters how to crochet, hosting crochet workshops and designing my own crochet patterns and kits. If I’m totally honest with you, The Crochet Cabin is my own creative classroom; it’s full of bright and colourful crocheted bunting for all seasons, warm and cosy hats and scarves, and practical baskets and fashionable bags – perfect for storing all that yarn you’ve collected and accompanying your new outfit.

I’m lucky enough to have a lovely teaching space in the cabin that takes the form of a table and seating, which feels like we are all gathering around the kitchen table, communing with our woolly projects, surrounded by the birds and trees in my garden. And it’s all this that I’d love to share with you.

So, tell me, who's been to The Crochet Cabin? Who would LOVE to come?! Who thinks they're too far away to enjoy the benefits of it? (I might have the answer for you in the form of my online membership club - the CABIN CREW!)

Hello 👋 It’s Nicola here and I’m The Secret

Hello 👋 It’s Nicola here and I’m The Secret Crocheter! I know what you’re thinking already: ‘it’s not much of a secret is it?!’ Well, no – you’re absolutely bang on there. But I can explain, I promise!

So, the thing is, I used to be a primary school teacher, and to cut a long story short, I fell out of love with teaching children and fell in love with teaching adults how to crochet instead. Nothing wrong with that, I hear you say…nope, nothing at all, apart from I was doing a bit of both at the same time (and I didn’t want my headteacher to know - sorry Jackie!), so I had to teach crochet in secret…and so The Secret Crocheter was born!

As well as crochet, I love a good cuppa and a hobnob, birds and Mr SC of course! Are you a fellow crochet lover or is it something you fancy having a go at?! 🧡
