This is not a crochet blog
We all are different, we all have our personal preferences and that also applies to our craft and the colors we like to choose for our projects. I am not sure if we always are aware of our choices and our very own color comfort zone. We choose yarn and colors that simply feel right... Continue Reading →
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. It happens that "Heinz" is the name of my father who always has been very supportive with all the choices... Continue Reading →
"It takes more time than expected" might be the phrase I used the most on this blog. And it is true. My bigger blanket projects take often much more time than estimated in the beginning.

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 →
