This is not a crochet blog
My current wip project is, as i said in my earlier blog post a fast and easy summer project. The goal is that you can easily take it with you wherever you want. One Scheepjes whirl (and maybe one Scheepjes Whirlette, depending on which size you want to crochet) is easy to take with you,... Continue Reading →
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 →
Let’s start something new and try to stay sane in these very worried times we are facing right now. It is going to be a crochet project again and I have a very clear vision what I want to do. It’s a two color project and it’s kind of obvious that it I am going... Continue Reading →
We had some pretty intense nights here in the north of Sweden in January and February. It has been a while ago that I uploaded some pictures of the northern lights. So I thought it’s time again. 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 →
