And I am not only talking about pure crochet time in a sense of hours you spend on your projects.... Continue Reading →
So it is my privilege to release the last pattern of the Geometry and Texture MAL. Lilla Björn Crochet and myself have now released 6 patterns in 6 weeks and I feel a little relieved and a little sad that this MAL is over now. But above all I feel very happy and honored that... Continue Reading →
