The Non-Work Blog

I will be selling these to locals as the lock-down begins to lift. (Shielding means I'd rather not have me or my hubby going to and fro to the post office at the moment).
All money raised will go to the Open Hands Trust.

 

I've listed sizing as:

'Will fit 2 average sized books (penguin book size) or one with lots of pages. Will also fit 2 average sized choc bars (But not Lint Choc bars - too tall!)'

​

'Will fit one average sized book, or choc bar'

​

'Small gift size - an average short & tubby tube of hand cream, small jewellery box or selection box size choc bars (Mars bar, small bags of sweets etc). Will also fit a gift card in an envelope

​

Gift card size (without an envelop)

'Thinking of you' gift sacks. These vary in size from 'will take 2 or 3 ferrero rocher/truffles/Lindor etc' to 'will take a small gift in a small box. Some are bigger and will take a little more of the same, or have space for a couple of pairs of novelty socks!

Called 'thinking of you' because they make a nice wrapping for 'gifts for no reason' or than being a friend.

​

The photos are of what I currently have, but I can make more!

If you want a custom make, be aware of the following:

I can make to the average sizes above. (sizes can vary a bit due to what yarn, type of crochet or hook size is used - so it's not a precise art!)

Anything above a two book size will be more expensive as they take a lot of time! I'd have to know you well to do this. ( and I have to work in-between making stuff...)

​

I can make what you want to a basic colour scheme such as 'bright colours' 'muted colours' etc, or within a spectrum - I don't want to buy yarn specifically as it would put the price up. I will always photograph the two colours (or one if you want plain) in a swatch to check it's ok.  

Gift card holders are in one colour or done with variegated yarn (No two colour options as in the larger bags - I make these using a different type of Tunisian crochet))

Gift sacks can be done in one colour or have another thinner yarn colour added.

​

Please bear in mind that home made doesn't mean machine made perfection. They will be made well, taking a lot of time and care in the process.
 

Now to the pictures!
