The First Christmas present
My first hand-made gift this Christmas that exchanged owners was the one I made for my godmother (aka meetje). A long while ago I had purchased the yarn for the project I wanted to make for her.

Ta-daaaa: My Granny Stripe “Across the Rainbow Bridge”
Yes! Finally finished! My excruciatingly beautiful (if I do say so myself) Granny Stripe! 😀 I named him Across the Rainbow Bridge, a reference to a song by Areon: Almost a year I crocheted on this. Of course, not continuously, but still, almost a year. I’m soooooo happy a persevered and finished it. And he turned out so so beautiful!…

Blub blub blub
After finishing the ripple blanket and the cerulean half granny square, I still had some scraps of the wool left. So, to stay in the sea/ocean theme, I crocheted this amigurumi fish. This is a very easy pattern to crochet. It’s freely available from this blog here. No sewing is required for this fish, as the fins are crocheted by…
