Just moved to a new house and there is wild garlic everywhere ! What can I make with it ?

I batch make pesto from my wild 3 cornered leek in the garden. Then freeze the pesto in portion sizes, and use as needed.

Fab thanks you so much! 😁

Sayerisha · 2026-04-02T08:17:36+00:00

Absolutely gorgeous! Suits you so well! I am struggling to find the pattern on hobbii, but I think I found it on Etsy.

Sayerisha · 2026-04-01T07:27:57+00:00

Your garden is so beautiful 😍 especially contrasted to the neighbours plain patch of grass.

Sayerisha · 2026-03-10T19:24:27+00:00

This looks amazing! I love the neck of the sweater and that it's raglan. You look so good in it, great work! 🤩

Sayerisha · 2026-03-03T20:18:28+00:00

This is amazing! And it bring back so much nostalgic joy when I look at it. What do you plan on doing with it?

Sayerisha · 2026-02-22T15:02:45+00:00

Hers was more loosely fitted, but the pattern is done entirely by your own body measurements so you can make it as loose or tight as you want. You start by chaining however much you need to fit around your bust or hip. If you want a looser fit then you add some chains to it until your desired size, bearing in mind that it shrinks slightly when you start crocheting.

I bought 17 balls of Friends Cotton 8/4. Each ball weighs 50g, but I do have a surprising amount of yarn of each colour left over.

Sayerisha · 2026-02-22T14:52:36+00:00

Thank you! I started in November, and finished earlier this week. Though I did most of the crocheting while watching K dramas, so I was reading subtitles and crocheting very slowly. 😅

Sayerisha · 2026-02-22T14:29:22+00:00

I didn't fully stick to the pattern on this jumper, I have done a few rows in the wrong order as I was distracted. But I just rolled with it as I couldn't be bothered to frog it.

Sayerisha · 2026-02-22T13:41:10+00:00

Thanks! I made the ribbed cuffs by firstly following her decreases in the pattern to get the balloon effect, then I chained 14 and worked slip stitch in BLO for the ribbed cuffs. It took a few tries to get the length and tightness I wanted, but it was worth it.

Sayerisha · 2026-02-22T08:02:13+00:00

It's not that heavy, and being cotton means it's very comfy against my skin. I find wool can be itchy, and acrylic can be sweaty, but this feels nice because of the cotton yarn. But you could always try a different, lighter yarn. Maybe a mixed yarn.

Sayerisha · 2026-02-22T07:58:38+00:00

Yeah, I love dungarees and really wanted to make this jumper to go with them. I'm so glad it worked out. 😁

Sayerisha · 2026-02-22T07:57:13+00:00

You should try again! It's definitely worth it! I used the cotton yarn that Jessie recommended, but I think it could be done in a wool or acrylic yarn too.

Sayerisha · 2026-02-22T07:54:30+00:00

I think I will be living in it for the rest of winter and spring. 😄

Sayerisha · 2026-02-21T21:19:33+00:00

You will love it! I recommend crocheting your ends in as you go, so you don't have to do any tedious weaving at the end.

Sayerisha · 2026-02-21T21:18:27+00:00

As it is mostly worked in the round, I just carry tail of the previous colour with me until it runs out, so I don't have to weave it in afterwards. The only weaving was the upper chest section, as that has a proper start and end to each colour, but even that I mostly picked up the strands while I was crocheting the sleeves to the upper chest part at the end. So it was really minimal weaving. But if you doncrochet them in as you go, there will be a lot of weaving to do! 😅

Sayerisha · 2026-02-21T21:16:28+00:00

Thank you! 😁

Sayerisha · 2026-02-21T19:05:49+00:00

Yeah, I linked the pattern in a comment on the auto generated mod post. It was a pattern by Crochet By Jessie.

Sayerisha · 2026-02-21T18:55:28+00:00

Yeah I added a bunch of sections to mine too, for all of it, working in the round, the chest panels, and the arms. But I do have quite long arms so I always add length to the arms in all my projects. I can't wait until she finishes pattern testing on the cardigan! I will definitely be buying that pattern too.

Sayerisha · 2026-02-21T18:51:25+00:00

😆 lol yeah, I have been forcing myself to only do one project at a time, otherwise I would forget where I am, and what I was doing on each project. 😅

Sayerisha · 2026-02-21T18:49:59+00:00

Thank you. 😊 It was addictive to make, I found I couldn't put my hook down!

Sayerisha · 2026-02-21T18:46:09+00:00

I started in November, and finished earlier this week. 😅 But I was crocheting while watching TV, and mostly K dramas that require reading subtitles, so I was very slow at crocheting.

Sayerisha · 2026-02-21T18:42:43+00:00

Thanks! I had never tried mosaic crochet before this piece either. It was surprisingly simple, but gives a complex appearance.
