    Hat experiment

    In my last On the go post, I talked about finding a hat project that I started over a year ago, but had completely forgotten about. At the time I was busy playing with my new https://charami.com/tag/addi-express-en/ (I really need to get back to that again soon) and I had made the base for a hat for myself, with colours…

    BEElated Birthday present

    A while ago, YouTube recommended watching Complicated Knots‘ channel. Sh’s an Australian crocheter, mainly specialized in amigurumi. I followed YouTube’s recommendation and quickly became addicted to her beautifully conceived and executed videos. She really makes incredibly nice things in a very intuitive way. I also quickly became jealous of her ability to effortlessly transform an idea into a crochet pattern.…

    Crochet doll for E

    It was my youngest godchild E’s birthday and I was a bit uninspired about what to give as a gift. The boy loves cars and dinosaurs and I have been inspired by this fact several times when I was looking for a gift, but in the end you can only give so many cars and dinosaurs. And then I thought:…

    On the go #10

    While reading initially appealed less to me in January, the creative itch for once persisted well after the Christmas making frenzy, resulting in me starting a couple of new things or continuing with the old. At Christmas the subject of relaxation activities came up. You probably know what I mean: puzzles, coloring books for adults, diamond painting, etc. My niece…

    Sentimental Laura Vest

    At the beginning of January I finished the Laura vest for fellow student C.. Or rather, a combination of the fact that sewing classes started again after the Christmas holidays and I could no longer postpone it and a very big prayer gave me the courage to finish this sentimental piece. This project had previously been started by C.’s mother…

    Day of the week sweater vest

    A while ago I showed that I had let myself go again and, despite the fact that I can almost start a shop at home, I had still bought a load of new skeins of yarn. I also let you know that I had a very specific plan in mind for one third of the skeins, for which I had…

    Granny Square Vest

    Finally! FI.NAL.LY! There’s nothing like gift giving season to make me jump into action and finish projects I’ve been working on for too long! The story of this vest started in the early spring of 2023, when I spotted this model in the Terre Bleue window. I immediately felt the urge to start crocheting again and I started planning diligently.…

    Flaxosaurus

    In my posts about my projects on the go, I regularly talked about a knitting project that I didn’t want to reveal too much about yet. But now I’m going to reveal everything! Based on the photos I shared, you could probably deduce that I had knitted two green sweaters. The (free) pattern I used for this is Flax by…

    Retro crop top

    As promised, I still needed to show you the project I recently completed in sewing class. Perhaps the fabric is not unfamiliar to you? I previously made this retro culottes with it. The pants turned out to be a huge success with the recipient and I still had a reasonable amount of fabric left, so I wanted to make another…

    On the go #9

    I had hoped that if I planned to blog at least monthly about my works in progress, this would provide some kind of counterbalance to my eternal indecision and doubt, and therefore encourage me to make decisions a little faster. Unfortunately, I don’t really notice much change in my behaviour as of yet, so I’m afraid this is going to…
