Hot hot hot!!
Man, it’s way too HOT here. Too hot to do anything. Personally, I’m not good with this kind of heat (i.e. 30-35 °C). I feel so lethargic and my arms and legs weigh like lead. So there wasn’t much action around here this weekend. BUT I did make a decision about the patchwork blanket. To be honest, I sort of…

Patchwork blanket
Again I let myself get tempted to start something new, even though I had planned to first finish some of my WIPs. But be honest, would you be able to resist this? Isn’t it gorgeous? And such beautiful colours. I for one couldn’t resist and dived in my stash. For a while now I have been looking for a…

Hello all! As you can see, I’m back from vacation and here to give you the reason why you probably all visit me 😉 : the translation of the popular post explaining how to make the hearts blanket.

Kaleidoscoop TADAAA!

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. 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!…

Pippi Långstrump
It was about time that I got my act together and finished this doll. I started this Pippi Langkous back in September of last year. I crocheted on her non stop until I had finished her legs, body and head. Then the poor thing sat armless and hairless on my UFO-pile (BTW, UFO in the crochet world means Unfinished Object.…

Padma: CAL met Dawn Toussaint
I love Dawn Toussaint‘s amigurumi. They are all so cute and cuddly 🙂 I was intimidated for a long time to even think about trying to make one of her patterns, but with my Kitty Orange I finally made the plunge. And surprise (!), it wasn’t really that hard 😀 I discovered not so long ago that Dawn has a…

Kitty Orange is finished
Thank you everyone who voted on the nose-poll and gave their opinion! The poll results were pretty close. Almost a 50/50 vote! But, I have now managed to make a decision for Kitty’s nose! But before the big reveal, a little background 😉 Kitty was made for my godmother. She asked me to make her another amigurumi – I had…
