My name is Natasha I am a mum and I have 2 grandchildren My channel is called Hooks & stitches because crochet is one of my passions I work as an LSA in a school with additional needs & l love to travel around the countryside and take RU-vid shorts of all the things I see that interest me I love zoos and beach walks I decided to join RU-vid and share my love for these things to inspire other people Hope you enjoy it 💕 Thankyou for watching and commenting 🥰 I would love you to Like and subscribe my channel to see what I get up to if you like what you see 💞
Hi Natasha, your shawl is absolutely gorgeous it looks so warm and cosy, your getting on great with Yazmins blanket and the tank top, you are so close to finishing Dream big little one blanket, you can do it, I know you can 😊 give it a little break then you can get back it freshly ❤ X
I love the shawl Natasha, so pretty! I am working on the blankets and teddies I do for charity, plus the Donut Buddies cal with Sally. I've just finished the Tiger she picked on Monday! They will all go to the charity too!
Natasha your shawl is beautiful and the colours are lovely. It will definitely keep you warm and snug in the winter months. It’s a shame you have had trouble with the Dream Big blanket you were getting on so well. I think sometimes you just have to put it down for a bit and go back with a clear head. I’m sure you will work it all out. I have quite a few WIPS but I will work my way through them. I have had such a busy week so far but have managed to do some crocheting. Take care and we will see you on Friday. ❤❤
Arden spotted this a few days ago and we watched the dragon patterns together. When he first spotted it he said "Oooh Mumma Dragon! " thank you for finding them ♡ I finished watching last night, the angel bear was adorable as were all the amigurumis, they are definitely my favourites. You have such an eye for them. Another WONDERFUL video. I love how relaxing these are xx
@@shadowsatmidnight thankyou lovely how are you ? I hope your recovering well 🥰 the Jess huff dragon is on my list to do but I need to get the elephants out the way 1st 😍
@hooksstitches9535 I've not caught up with your other videos, I keep scrolling past quick not to give myself too many spoilers. I'm planning a lovely day watching them tomorrow when my Mums here. I did see the elephant in your photo though and it's glorious!! I love all your amigurumis xx
Hi Natasha, You have got lots of progress done on each item, the baby blanket and elephant are going to be so special, have a lovely break away, see you Wednesday 💖 Xx
I’m crocheting the blanket stitch after seeing your baby blanket. I love it! So simple yet very effective. I’m just making a dolls pram blanket for my granddaughter, as I’ve got no babies at the moment to make blankets for. Your granny squares turned out beautiful this week. Enjoy your break away. St. Ives is so beautiful.
Hello Natasha. Your squares turned out really well especially that pretty flower. I am sorry your star donut didn’t turn out the way you wanted it to but it still looks good and happy. Thank you for another lovely video. The elephant and blanket are going to be beautiful and be a lovely gift. See you on Wednesday ❤
@@missapippin9020 Hello lovely thankyou for your lovely message we are traveling home now I'm looking forward to waking up my wips to show on wednesday 😉 xxx
Hello 👋 I'm pleased it's not just me then I suppose we won't get on with every yarn we try I love the shine it has but it's the only thing going for it sadly 🤦 I hope your well and having a great time crafting when you get the chance 💞
So sorry you were disappointed with your star Natasha, some yarns are like that, just don't work up like we think they will. Like Sally I pretty much stick to Stylecraft Special unless I find something I might find useful in a charity shop! I love the elephant and the applique, so cute!!
Hello Mary 👋 yes I don't usually branch out but sometimes I like to have a change and I bought the elements yarn originally to go in the the Ziggy interrupted shawl that Sandra Paul has because of the shine and how close to the other colours it was I will be changing that a little now I think 🤔 I'm hoping to make a start on that before Christmas 💞
Thank you so much for taking the time to search for all those doll clothes, they are all perfect. Both My daughters are special needs and love to dress their dolls. Thank you again ❤
I really like the baby blanket, maybe you don't like it because you had a different vision in your head. I'm sure someone would love to receive it as a gift.
Hi Mary thankyou for commenting it is surprising when it is all bought together in one video the amount I managed to get done I love doing these videos it gives alot of satisfaction 🥰
Hi Natasha, I am so pleased for you to get projects finished for July, I can't wait to see Dream big little one finished also he Elephant is so realistic good luck with those ❤ take care hope your sore throat eases 💖 X
You achieved a lot in July Natasha. I hope your throat feels better. I love the new elephant pattern that you are going to make for school. I love elephants but I couldn’t see where you linked the pattern for it in the description box. I hope you have a lovely day out. Take care. ❤❤
@@missapippin9020 hello lovely I haven't filled it in because I uploaded it on my phone this morning and can't link things on my phone yet I will do it when I get home I'm out with the family for a while today 😁 I will let you know when I have done it 🥰
Hello Natasha. The reindeer blanket is going to be beautiful. You are doing really well with your blankets. It is good that you have a bit more time with the school holidays. I hope your throat feels better. Take care See you Friday ❤❤
The baby blanket looks gorgeous in that colour way. I love the look of the elephant toy. The trunk is unusual but makes it very attractive. I can’t wait to see it finished.
Hello Natasha. Well you have been busy. The Christmas decorations are lovely and the elephant looks really good. I can’t wait to see it finished. Love the unicorn donut. The 3D squares pile is really growing. Have a wonderful week and I will see you on Wednesday. Take care ❤❤
@@hooksstitches9535 I am doing some of the donuts that sally is doing but I mostly knit and crochet teddies for charity and crochet blankets for the same charity. I finished the unicorn donut today!
I loved the Christmas bunny amigurumis, the wild rose shawl was stunning too! The one before that was beautiful aswell and would make a beautiful gift! I loved the cow slippers, you always find something I wouldn't have thought of. That's what I enjoy so much about watching. Lovely patterns again! 💐
Hello lovely thankyou i think it helps with everyone's perceptions on things being different i enjoy discovering new things that viewers like to look for aswell its very interesting and some even io wouldn't have thought about looking for so it great fun and i love how this video had transformed and become the best one of the week for views so I'm pleased its taken off and I'm so grateful to you for being a great supporter of my channel xxx
Watched a little bit before everyone came home, I intend to finish the rest this evening. I have been on wool warehouse today looking at their free patterns. I keep thinking of making Arden a Dragon. Maybe you could share some of the wool warehouse ones too, they are instant downloads. Hobbycraft have some too but the reviews of them always look bad... so I'd be interested in hearing why. Have you ever tried the hobbycraft ones? Hope your enjoying the beautiful weather and the summer holidays xx
Hello lovely, I check out the hobby craft ones and do some research into this i cant say i have to be honest i bought a few pattern cards whilst in the shop that have been on clearance but never downloaded any so will see what i can find out! the wool warehouse ones I have looked at but they seem to be the same as Lovecraft's which i share a lot of but i will keep my eye out and see what i can find that's different thankyou for your very lovely and informative comment it helps me a lot I hope you manage to get lots of crochet and knitting time i look forward to your videos in the mornings to start my day xxx
Thank you Natasha, you have spent a lot of time sourcing free patterns again this week. I like the chubby bunnies they are so cute and would make up so quickly and use up all the odds and ends we have left from previous projects. I still have a bit of catching up to do with my crocheting but I am getting back into the swing of things. I can't think of anything at this time as I have lots of projects to do but I still like watching what you come up with on Free Pattern Friday and I do go and get some of them. Have a wonderful weekend Natasha . ❤❤
@@missapippin9020 hello lovely I'm so pleased your getting there now thankyou for taking the time to comment I love to hear from you the chubby bunnies are lovely and indeed a great yarn eater for all those little scraps take care see you soon on my next one 🥰
Hi Natasha, some great patterns this week, I love the little christmas chubby bunnies, can you please find a purse or coin size little bag , have a lovely weekend take care 🥰 X
Natasha what a wonderful yarn haul. You were so happy and excited it was lovely to watch you showing all you beautiful yarn especially those gorgeous yarn cakes. What a saving too well done. It will be really interesting to see what you make with some of that yarny goodness. ❤❤🧶🧶🧶
Hello 👋 yes the excitement was off the scale I'm thinking I might make a monster from my monster book soon with some of it 😉 I have a couple of projects to get out the way 1st tho 🤷 xxx
Hi Nathasha 🌸 I enjoy your free pattern videos. I'm not sure if you know about the website 'Circulo yarns'. They have lovely pdf downlable patterns and ebooks. A really great site for free patterns.
@@carmenbriones3978 Hello my lovely yes I do my best to find things that are current with the seasons I just like to have an idea of the things people like to see I do try to theme it a little I just don't want to disappoint anyone and find it helps to show things that my viewers point me towards 🥰 thankyou so much for taking the time to comment 💞
