Our family has a Christmas tradition of providing a small gift at the dinner table for each person. It’s usually chocolates, or a little inexpensive stocking filler. What is important is how it is presented. Each year we make something with a hidden compartment. This is my offering this year - a Christmas pudding; but if you lift up the sauce t...

Five plaited brioche columns are separated by five areas of colourful gart...

Longer ago than I care to remember, a friend gave me a book covering the basics of how to design your own celtic knots. It was while I was weaving some crochet strands together that I wondered about the possibilities of using i-cord to make a celtic knot. If placed on a hat, the strands could float over the top, going wherever they most natural...

The Hebrides are a group of islands off the wild and rocky west coast of Scotland. Fifteen hundred years ago the islands were at the heart of a Celtic society. This scarf takes inspiration from the artwork of this time by repeating one of the simplest Celtic knot designs to represent the chain of islands within a sea of double moss stitch. The ...
