Drops Safran was perfect for our last project, Crochet Light Spheres, so we've just been browsing the Garnstudio DROPS design website for yarn inspiration to use in our next exciting project. This time it's going to be the Drops Alpaca, so many fantastic colours to choose from! In the mean time, the Light Sphere pattern is available on our Etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/CraftsAndCoffeeUk

I've had to admit to myself that my 'collection' of both yarn and fabric has got a little bit out of control. Every project just adds to the boxes that adorn the spare room - but the thing that I k...

We've been hibernating for a number of months here at Crafts & Coffee, but we are now very proud to have opened our Etsy shop. We've designed and created all the patterns ourselves and there are many more in the pipeline. Please take a look at https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/CraftsAndCoffeeUk and let us know what you think.

An old friend of mine who's living in Canada had a baby boy a couple of months back and I really wanted to send a 'hello' to the new arrival. So I diligently got out my crochet hooks, bought some y...

Hello, We're looking for some crochet pattern testers and thought we'd ask you lovely folk if you could help us out. We're working on a series of crochet sea creature patterns which we hope to sell in a new ETSY shop later on in the year. However, before we let them loose we'd love to have them tested - our first offering is Mr Puffer Fish. So, if you can crochet and are happy following patterns, please do drop us a line ([email protected] or via this page) and we'll send over some more details. Let us know what you think of him!
