• My granny square blanket is steadily growing now

Current blanket
About a year ago I started to crochet my own granny square blanket. I saw a picture on the internet of one with a lot of candy pink, and a strong feeling struck me that I wanted one of those for myself. So I started with buying a lot of Rowan cotton in [...]

• Long time no see

It’s been a long time since I’ve been here. Revalidation is taking a lot more time then I thought. I have to cycle on the hometrainer multiple times per day, I have to walk a lot and besides that I have my stretching exercises. But…. every week it’s going a little better, so that’s a [...]

• Crochet inspiration

I admire the work of Anne-Claire Petit. She designs funny crocheted things in the most adorable colors. All items are a huge inspiration to me, and some of them I would love to own myself, for example the vase with flowers seigh…..
Yesterday I was so lucky to find some anne-claire petit items on the ‘vrijmarkt’ in Amsterdam. [...]

• I did it, the crocheted hearts garland is finished

I’m so happy, yesterday I could put myself to finishing the crocheted hearts garland. I set myself in a chair in the sun on our balcony, and just started and kept going. The garland is now hanging above the entry door of my studio, that wasn’t a good place for photography because of the poor [...]

• Crocheted hearts garland

I’m, almost there: the flowers are attached to the hearts, and the string is half way finished. Hopefully I can show you the completed garland this wednesday. I thought I could finish it today, but I found out that crocheting the string is more work than it looked like…

I have already selected the next crochet project, [...]

• Felt cover for baby album

The grape hyacinths (blauwe druifjes) have finished blooming. I replaced the little blue flowers with this assortment of buttercups (ranonkels) I placed them beside my bed, and every time I open the bedroom door, a smile apears on my face.
Today I also finished an order for a felt covered baby album. From time to time I get an order [...]

• Spring is in the air

Today I felt the energy to create again, jippee. I picked up an old WIP project, and it’s almost finished now. Two more bushes with flowers have to be attached, and then I will have my own piece of ‘art’ to brighten up my studio.

I also started a new project, again inspired by Lucy from [...]

• Crochet inspiration

I find crocheting very relaxing, sometimes even like meditation when you just have to count and don’t have to do complicated stuff. And when I work on flowers or other small things, I love the instant result you get. 
Today I crocheted this cover for a Bonne Maman jam jar, I even started with a second [...]

• WIP

Pfew, I finished quite a lot projects last weekend and today. It was hard work, but I love the results. Only… I can’t show them yet, they are all presents, for a birthday, swap and a thank you.
What I can show you, is the work in progress on my crocheted Amigurumi cottage. I found the [...]

• Crocheted baby beanie

Today I finished the second version of a crocheted baby beanie. I started with the purple/old pink one, and wasn’t happy with the color scheme. Today I finished the lighter pink version and I’m still not sure if I like the colors….. I used Cashsoft yarn from RYC (Rowan) that I bought at ‘De Afstap‘ [...]
