We Now Have 12 Kittens! (available for adoption)

Our clan of kittens has grown from four to 12 and will soon hit 22! We’ve been working closely with our Portuguese neighbours and community in the village to rescue this bunch of furry little munchkins and help them find new homes.

We’ve also been working hard to catch and sterilise the adult cats and have successfully done that with eight in the last four weeks.

And whist these fluff balls are super cute, we can’t keep them (all). So PLEASE get in touch if you’re based in Portugal and would like to adopt a kitten or two.

Yarn Projects (crochet/knitting)

Knitting Needles

I've only just started knitting again and have had to upgrade from my original Symfonie needles (they tend to snap quite easily). I have a set of stainless steel needles from ChiaoGoo and also an ebony set from Lantern Moon.

I like both! The stainless steel was a little hard to get used to but yarn really glides on them. I like the look and feel of the Lantern Moon set too, but unfortunately they don't come in all the sizes I tend to use so I now end up switching between the two sets.

Crochet Hooks

I've tried loads of different single hooks to find the 'perfect' hook. I finally found what I was looking for in the Clover soft touch range. The hook glides well and the thumb rest is really comfortable. Unfortunately they don't seem to be available in a set, so I have a jar full of all the sizes I like to use.

Tunisian Crochet Hooks

My favourites are these from Lantern Moon, they're super comfortable and glide really well, and the best bit is that they swivel. They are also compatible with the KnitPro Symfonie hooks (these seem less sturdy but also glide well).

I also have a set from ChiaoGoo made from bamboo. These are very lightweight but I find that they can snag on some yarns (a nail file often helps to make the hook head better).
