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 →
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 →

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 →
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 →
My new summer project in the making. It is still a WIP but I can give you a some information that you might find interesting. Crocheted in the one row mosaic crochet technique using SCHEEPJES Cahlista as I also told you in the previous post about this blanket. As you can see it is a... Continue Reading →
All my bags are packed, I am ready to go... When going on vacation, you should only take the very essential things with you. In my case that means that I allow myself to take my happy box full of Scheepjes Cahlista with me. I plan to start a new multi color summer project and... Continue Reading →
It all started with the idea to have my very own logo. I have always been fascinated by lettering art, calligraphy, logo and badge design, but I have absolutely zero talent for that. My handwriting is very similar to my daughter’s, which is quite amazing for a 7 year old. But if you want to... Continue Reading →
