I've taken up crochet because I broke my ankle in January and have had some serious couch time - crochet projects here we come.

You site has been my go to site for all - with perhaps a few exceptions.

Hi, Lucy!

Thanks for the inspiration you give us.
I bought the Simple Crochet issue with your Scandi Christmas Bird kit and finished it in the first minites of the New Year. I am a newbie in crocheting and was very pleased with the clear instructions and the result - the little bird, a piece of joy.

A wish you all the best in 2015.

Take care,

Rita alias Fidike

Thank you Lucy for sharing your lovely ideas and patterns. I've already made a dozen of bowerbirds, and have learned the pattern by heart :) It's super lovely!

I LITERALLY squealed & dropped my Xbox controller & a fuzzy warm glow came over me & I said "my crochet funk IS OVER!!!!" :) Wow, this is a great tut Lucy, as ALWAYS.. Impeccable tutorial that even a beginner could achieve :) Well done you .. I'm just loving having you pop up in my crochet mags. I'm like yeah .. That's my Lucy heehee. Well THANKYOU SOOOO much for this, I just about DIED when I first saw it, there were many people TRYING to replicate it but I wanted to be patient & see if you would do yours. Beautiful. Thanks for making me so happy today .. I needed it badly. You're a star Lucy.

Hello Lucy

It makes for so long that I want to tell you thank you! Thank you for your colored ideas! Thank you for your tutoriels! Thank you for your magnificent photos! But my English is so bad....
All your ideas tempt me and finally I began with the natural bower bird version Nature tropical.
I do not know if you wish to see the realizations which you inspire but my bird is visible here:http://mamieminette.canalblog.com/tag/bower%20bird

Sherry Maghsoodloo

Lucy, you are a sweet and talented young woman! How generous you are to share with all of your followers on the blog. Thank you soooooo much. I was so delighted to read every word of the tutorial and cannot wait to gety hands on some yarn to start making bower birds for my Christmas tree and to make some fory daughters for Christmas! Here in the good ol' US of A, we have plenty of supplies but I'd rather go thru your links to purchase. I hope you get paid for the referrals! Again, thank you for sharing.

Ruth

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful pattern, your generosity knows no bounds! I have been struggling with an idea for a wedding present for a colleague at work, and know she will love this, particularly as we call them "the love birds". I really enjoy reading your blog, I am a Yorkshire girl and moved away from home 5 years ago - I do get terribly homesick when I see your beautiful pictures, particularly your back yard. I miss the stone architecture.
Thank you so much for bringing colour into our lives!

Vivella

I absolutely love your tutorials.
Thank you

Mercedes Di Santo

Hi lucy. I live really so far. I'm from argentina and I have finnished one bird just now. It is really easy to do with your tutorials. Now I'll do them as a gift for my daughter holly communion. Thank you. Mil gracias

Caroline

Thanks so much Lucy. Your patterns are far and away the most do-able and easy to follow. You have a fantastic talent. Note to self... don't try your first bower bird using the lovely Rowan silk tweed your son gave you for your birthday. It looks great now, but it was so hard to keep track of the stitches! Thanks again, have a wee coffee and cake on me. Caroline xxx
