Kaleidoscoop TADAAA!
Thanks to the awful weather (Not that I’m happy about that. What kind of summer is this?) I managed to finish my kaleidoscope blanket already! Only a couple of days ago I finished joining all the squares. I hadn’t even started with the border. But once I knew what I wanted, the border crocheted super fast. Taking pictures of the…

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.

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…

How I learned to Crochet
Crocheting; a necessity if you want to make amigurumi. I have always had a vague interest for crocheting, but never ventured further than an interest. The only thing I could crochet was a chain. With my fingers. 8) But now that I wanted to create amigurumi I had to learn how to crochet properly. During a visit I had told…

Introduction
With this site/blog I have combined two of my hobbies. My old love “webdesign” and all its features; and a new love “Amigurumi”. The header of this site shows what a dictionary would say about amigurumi, if it had been a well known word worth to be mentioned in one 😉 . The header is in Dutch, but I’ll explain…
