This is not a crochet blog
Very strange things happened. Knitting! And I worked very spontanous, focused and fast this time and thats why I am happy to be able to release a little pattern before Christmas and New Year that was not really planned. It is a small little project, a knitted hat using the stranded colorwork technique. Handdyed SCHEEPJES... Continue Reading →
Thank you! Thank You! Thank you! So many lovely Goldcrests, so many lovely alternative color ways! It is pure fun to watch how each and every Goldcrest scarf grows, to watch your progress and your very own way to create those patterns. I want to thank every participant, and one more time everyone who is... Continue Reading →

Ok, this is not really crochet. But here is the thing: I really like pompoms. I really like huge, massive pompoms. I think this gives your hat that special something. But I hate pompoms that loosen. That means that there are tiny bits of yarn everywhere. And as i am a father of two wildlings... Continue Reading →
So I got this yarn from my friends at SCHEEPJES. And what can I say. This is so far outside my comfort zone, that I thought this will be in my stash forever. I will never find any use for it. Do not get me wrong. It is a very, very good yarn but... Continue Reading →
