This is not a crochet blog
Back then, when it was autumn this project still was a WIP, it was still possible to sit outside and crochet even though it started to get quite chilly. Today we have a minus 9 degrees, the gras is covered in a thick layer of ice and snow and the project has become a fully... Continue Reading →
After all I could finish this massive blanket right to the start of the winter holidays here in Sweden. It has got the name "Heinz". This is not a cooperation with the american ketchup company.
