All Zoya Matyushenko patterns.
I am in awe of her talent.
I have made three others as presents, but these are all mine! π
Edit: I am often asked where I get the hoops from
I am in theUK. I try not to use Amazon and other large companies as I’m unsure of their ethics and I know Amazon avoids making tax contributions to the UK economy. I always use small independent firms when I can.
I get the hoops up to 50cm from GlitterwitchΒ and the 70cm hoopsΒ Dannells
These are so gorgeous love them!

These are beautiful! My mom used to make these. I donβt have the patience it takes to make them.

My Granny made them too. They do take patience, but what I like most is that I have to really concentrate on them so that everything else drifts away for a while.

It does represent an embarassingly long time of sitting down doesn’t it!!! The only aspect I really see as ‘work’ is the sewing in of the ends and then sewing to the hoops – the rest is play. π

My favorite is the pale green one on the right bottom.

The soft green is Scheepjes Sweet Treat 2ply cotton, called Lime Juice, it is a really lovely colour.

All breathtaking. You need to have an exhibition of them, hanging from the branches of a tree and twirling gently in the breeze… Lovely to have them in all different colours.

Another brilliant idea – I am looking out for suitable trees. I need you as my artistic director Kate! π

These are all lovely – I especially like the finer ones which might be beyond my crochet skills at the moment.

I don’t think they are particularly difficult to make – all the usual stitches of doubles and trebles with good clear instructions – I enlarge the photos of the pattern so that I can check my work against that. They do require concentration though – not for whilst watching TV.

I think that is my favourite one to make, it is one of the simpler ones. The pattern is called Agnes and is free on Ravelry.

Yes! I copy the picture and enlarge it, keeping it on my computer screen next to the pattern – that helps to keep you on track, and answer questions as you go.
