Buttons and Bootees

We spent the weekend by the sea for my birthday! 🎁 🎂 🎈 staying at a fab campsite in the campervan, we went to Llandudno for the day and there was a funfair on! Which was an unexpected surprise! After the kids were done with the rides, and we’d been on the beach and the pier, I could finally go and visit The Wool Shop!! Which is well known for the vast amount of wool, and crafts in Llandudno! I wasn’t planning on making a purchase but it was my birthday…
We got chatting to the owner, Jonny and he gave the kids all a voucher for a free ice cream at their new shop the Ice Cream Parlour! He even gave me a voucher for my birthday, as the kids told him I was 23, and apparently this was hilarious 🤣
What a weekend! Gorgeous weather, beautiful beaches (I love a UK seaside!) and of course it was May 4th… May the yarn be with you!! 😆

Introducing… CroTay! 💃🏼🪩🎶🎵🎤

This is the first kit I have finished in 2025! If you’ve missed my last posts, I’m aiming to complete all of the crochet kits I have collected over the years. This is the year!!

And this is the first one… completed ☑️

The kit can be found online, I got mine from tk maxx in store just before Christmas and at a lower price too! It comes with everything you need (see my video) including a hook, needle, eyes, yarn and stuffing. Plus a full colour detailed instruction booklet!

I’m not one to follow the patterns directly, I usually do my own thing, add my own spin or create the pattern in an alternative order. But this time I stuck to it! And I’m going to do that with the kits going forward.

A really enjoyable project and I’m pleased with the end result! Yarn quality wasn’t amazing for the skin tones but the rest was soft and it all worked really well. Hook was decent too and the needle. I have no complaints! I think everyone should get one of these kits!!

Have you made one of these? There’s a few variations- Harry Styles, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe etc. I would love to get another one!!

But first things first, onto the next kit!! But which should I make next?! 🤔
