    Genre blanket 2022: November

    Some great progress! Another month finished, not even a week after I finished October!

November genres 1. Sci-Fi 2. Horror 3. Horror 4. Graphic Novel 5.…

    Genre blanket 2022: October

    Talking about procrastination, how embarrassing is it that I’m still working on this 2022 genre blanket? Admittedly, I only have the last trimester left, but still, we are now almost halfway through 2023! Tsk, tsk! Fortunately, my desire to knit or crochet is starting to rekindle. Coupled with beautiful weekend days and an audio book in the ear and I…

    Genre blanket 2022: September

    The genre blanket I wanted to make in 2022 is still not completely finished. It grows slowly but steadily. It is clear that I will still keep me busy for a while in 2023. That is why I have completely reconciled myself with my decision not to start a new one for 2023. Otherwise I would completely overstress myself, which…

    Genre blanket: August

    Finally some more progress in my genre blanket of 2022! Since we are already quite far into the first month of 2023, I have put the idea of making another bookish blanket in the closet this year. I thought about it for a while, because it really is a very cool concept with surprising results. But since I still have…

    Rule of thumb

    The very first wearable item I ever made were crocheted fingerless mittens. Since then I crochet at least one pair of them almost every year. Over the years I have developed my own method of making them and have collected a lot of notes from each new pair I make, tweaking and improving my pattern a bit each time. Granted,…

    Genre blanket: July

    I’m quite a bit behind on my genre blanket these days. All my crafting time has been spent on knitting lately, but more on that in a next post 😉 I only just finished July in my genre blanket, and unfortunately haven’t gotten further along with the other months yet. There’s just so much I want to do, and so…

    Genre blanket: June

    June turned out to be another good and varied reading month, albeit a bit more Sci-Fi heavy than usual, but that’s a genre I want to read more of anyway.

    Genre blanket: May

    After the profilic reading month of April, May became a slightly more relaxed month in terms of books read. In total I finished five books, all in a different genre, meaning that I could add another five different colours to my genre blanket! Mei genres 1. Adult Fantasy 2. Mystery 3. YA Fantasy 4. Horror 5. Romance Recently I got…

    Genre blanket: April

    April was a very prolific reading month, due to the first semester of the new magical readathon by G. Readathons always motivate me to read a lot and this was definitely the case in April, where I read a total of 16 books. This of course also meant quite a lot of crocheting for my genre blanket, for which I…

    Baby Yoda

    It is not uncommon for me to hand out homemade gifts. Sometimes this is for a reason (birthdays and births, etc.) and sometimes I just wanted to make something, but have no place or use for it myself. For example, I have already distributed crochet critters to colleagues at work, who are fans of something or other. One colleague had…
