This is not a crochet blog
After the „Lose Yourself“ mosaic project, I decided to take it easy and lay my hands on a Scheepjes Whirl. Of course, as probably most of you, I did use this yarn before. But I always followed other designers pattern, such as Mijo Crochet who does outstanding designs or the wonderful “My Voyage” shawl by... Continue Reading →
As I said before, this took me much longer as expected. But finally it is here: the "Lose Yourself" wrap made in Scheepjes River Washed with a Stone Washed border. You find a free version here and if you want to support my work there is a paid ready to print PDF on Ravelry HERE... Continue Reading →
As usual, things take a lot more time as planned and expected. I really am sorry that the pattern is not yet out there, but at least I can show you the finished wrap. It is crocheted in the "one-row" mosaic technique which means that you do not turn at the end of every row.... Continue Reading →
When my friends at Scheepjes release a new yarn, there is no other way than to cast all other projects aside and play. Especially when it is a 100% recycled yarn. It really was love at first sight and I knew at once that the new Scheepjes Terrazzo which comes in 60 colorways are going... Continue Reading →
Time to reveal a little of what I am working on right now. I have come quite a bit, but as the pattern is still in writing and testing so I consider it still a WIP. As I said in my previous post it is based on a chain of 290 which makes the base... Continue Reading →

Enjoy Overhead aurora craziness on the 10th of February. All pictures taken with my old Canon 5D Mark... Continue Reading →
I thought it was time to upload a few pictures of my second favorite hobby again. It’s winter here in Sweden at that means that, when the temperature drops under a minus 15 degrees Celsius, you wills find me outside trying to catch the beauty of soap bubbles that are freezing while in the air....

So here is the pattern for the "Waves" blanket made in 17 shades of SCHEEPJES Cahlista. The initial is from @sunshineyalex and is inspired by a wall painting made by Schuyler Beecroft. There is a free version of the pattern here on the blog. We decided that 100% of sales profit from this pattern will... Continue Reading →
My summer project became a autumn project. It took much longer than I thought but it became also much bigger than planned. I simply couldn't stop crocheting. Highly addictive and highly repetitive, therefore it was possible to make it as big as i want and it gives you of course the possibility to make it... Continue Reading →
