Sweet & Crunchie

Spring Time in Wolverhampton

Thu, 10 May 2012 13:56:18 +0100

In April 2012 St Peters Gardens in Wolverhampton became a woolly wonderland, transformed by crochet and knitting created by the local people. Sweet and Crunchie has been working along side Artyarn in creating installations with the community in the cities garden. The Project is called ‘Park Your Yarn’. Artyarn won the commission to yarn bomb alongside Birmingham based knitting crew Stitches and Hoes http://www.artyarn.org/ https://twitter.com/#!/stitchesandhos.

Autumn In Amsterdam

Thu, 3 Nov 2011 13:58:31 +0000

As winter edges closer a chill can be felt in the air we make the most of the crispy sunny days to soak up some gorgeous inspiring sights and an excuse to pull on our new favourite wooly number.

Sweet and Crunchie took a trip to the largest city and capital of the Netherlands, Amsterdam. For a fun packed Halloween weekend and was not disappointed!! Golden tree lined canals in hues of pink, orange & gold glistened in the low sunshine. It was the perfect for an inspirational walk in the park. We took a No14 tram to the end of the line to Flevopark. The historic spot is a well known legal painting location where hundreds of artists come to put their mark on the motorway arches.

Have a look for a magical spot close to you & enjoy the colours and Autumnal feeling. My favourite is the mystical fairy steps in Healey Dell Nature Reserve. Healey Dell sits in a picturesque part of the Spodden Valley on the outskirts of Rochdale. It is rich in wildlife, with a fascinating archaeological history.

Have a wonderful Autumn & fun time finding your inspirational spots.. sweet&crunchie x
