A SMALL MOMENT, JUST FOR MAKING
What shall we make today?
A few stitches. A splash of colour. A little tune. A wonderfully wonky drawing.
Start with a little idea, and see where it takes you.
Follow your fancy
Pick a few things, or leave it to chance.
Making a start is a lovely thing in itself.
PRACTICE CORNER
Skill practice
Pick a medium, then settle in for one small, focused exercise.
Choose one stitch on the right. Make a small swatch and repeat it slowly until your hands begin to remember.
Hear the full major-scale octave, from do to high do. Sing the second note back if it helps.
Sound plays only when you press a button. Headphones can help.

Ghost the linesTrace each direction in the air before touching the page.
Draw throughLightly include the hidden edges to understand the whole form.
Try it againChoose a new view and notice which edges change most.
Tip: verticals stay parallel in this view; the other edges travel in two families.
Crochet practice
Choose a stitch and practise a small swatch alongside the free video.
How far apart are these notes?
Press play, listen to the rising pair, and choose the interval you hear.
Ready when you are. Press play to hear your first pair.
Song cues are memory aids; listen for the named two-note moment, not the whole melody. Ear-training references (opens in a new tab)↗ · More song examples (opens in a new tab)↗
A little making goes a long way.
No streaks to keep. No catching up. Just something lovely to try, whenever you feel like it.
