This is not a crochet blog
So here is the thing... I did not keep the blog super updated all the time. In fact I think blogging is kind of annoying and I know that most of you people are not here to read about my personal stories. You are here to get a free pattern, right? So I will just... Continue Reading →
Hi again, It was a while ago that I updated this blog. Time is tight when you are a father of two wild daughters. Finally I found the time to write the final pattern in the "Nomad by Fate" series.

A while ago I stumbled over the fantastic patterns of Maliha Design. I instantly bought her fantastic Walk in Woods pattern. The pictures were great and I was really looking forward to crochet this pattern. I was so blown away that I did not even realize, that it was a knitting pattern. I am not... Continue Reading →

Days are cold up north and to keep my ears warm I gave The Up Early – Up North Hat an update. The mosaic pattern is the same but the double brim will help you to defy the northern winter. Free Pattern: The Up Earlier Hat US/European Terms Free Pattern: The Up Earlier Hat UK... Continue Reading →
(Using us/european crochet terms in this post) What is mosaic crochet? This technique gives you the opportunity to crochet two colour patterns without changing yarn in one row or round.
