Country Girl is an excellent starter garment. With minimal shaping, this would be a great project for beginner crocheters to try their hand at making their first garment. Yarn: Eco-Cotton (Eco-Fusion is an option as well, just make sure that you do a gauge sample first) Designer: Brenda Grobler Dificulty level: Easy

Cuddles, winter blankets, and night time stories... All that is missing is a cuddly companion. Crochet one of our lovely bears for your favourite little human. The pattern is the same for all three bears, but the sizes differ when different yarns are used. Harvey : Eco-Cotton Mike: Eco-Fusion Lewis: Eco-Bamboo Designer: Brenda Grobler & Phoebe Grobler

Rebel is a super oversized top and the sleeves are custom made to have a reasonable tight fit. If you don't want your top to be as oversized as your regular size (per the pattern), make one size smaller as you will be doing the sleeves according to your own measurements. The pattern contains a full explanation of how to do this. Difficulty Level: Intermediate Yarn: Eco Fusion Designer: Brenda Grobler

Yarn: Eco-Fusion Designer: Brenda Grobler Emmy & Grace is a wonderful dual pattern. The yoke is the same for both garments, and are thereafter customised to become either a cute little dress, or a playful pullover. If Eco-Bamboo is used, it will result in slightly smaller garment and Eco-Cotton will create a slightly bigger garment. Happy crocheting!

Yarn: Eco-Fusion Designer: Brenda Grobler Loosely based on Annie, Bahari is an excellent stashbuster. Bahari is a Swahili word that means 'by the sea', and this is actually why Carle asked Brenda to design a similar one. Annie is a firm favourite in her wardrobe, but as she spends a lot of time at her home in Kommetjie, she needed an extra one for long walks on the beach.

Yarn: Eco-Cotton, Eco-Fusion or Eco-Bamboo Designer: Brenda Grobler We, at Nurturing Fibres HQ, strive to keep our footprint on the environment as light as possible. Amongst other things, we don't use plastic bags to shop anymore. But we know how super busy moms can be. With careers, with kids, with everyday stuff. Remembering to take the fabric bags along for the weekly shop might not be at the top of the list! This is where the Moscow Market Bag comes in. Firstly, it can be made in any one of our three Eco ranges of yarns and the best part is, that it has a handy little pouch as part of the design, so the entire bag can be folded and stored in even the smallest of handbags. The entire project uses only two balls of yarn in contrasting colours and only takes a few hours to complete, making it an easy AND economical project. PS. We used this bag extensively during our recent visit to Russia and it was brilliant!
