This is not a crochet blog
So my friends in the Netherlands and long term cooperation partner Scheepjes released a new yarn, or to be more precisely a new yarn series, or to be more precisely it’s not only a new yarn series: The 167 year old company has, after releasing the Scheepjes Terrazzo yarn (70% Recycled Mulesing Free Wool x...

Finally the pattern is ready. I added a little photo tutorial again so that really everyone is able to master this shawl. As I said before is the "Iron Shirt" triangle made in a Scheepjes Whirl. The bigger version adds a Scheepjes Whirlette. You can find your local Scheepjes Dealers or order your Scheepjes yarn... Continue Reading →
Time to reveal the “Iron Shirt” triangle shawl. The pattern is going to be released pretty soon but I couldn’t wait to show you the result of my summer projects. The triangle is based on the c2c technique. I made a little photo tutorial which you can find here. I simply replaced some of the... Continue Reading →
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 →

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 →
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 →
I always try to see written crochet patterns as a source of inspiration more than a recipe you have to follow step by step. It is one of my goals with pattern writing and in my daily job as a social worker to give people tools to manage different tasks in their own way. Rachele... Continue Reading →
