Fax the shadowraven
While reading Harbinger of Justice by Andrew Watson, I got the unstoppable urge to crochet a raven, since one of my favourite characters in the book is a shadow creature whose prefered form is that of a raven. Since it was also almost Halloween and a raven would fit in well with the rest of my fall/Halloween decor, I happily…

On the go #13
For many of the recurring posts I write here, I aim to have them appear once a month. Often it takes longer than a month, sometimes because I just don’t get around to it, sometimes because I have nothing to say and sometimes because I don’t feel like it, lol. For the “on the go” posts it’s been almost a…

On the go #12
Like many crafters, I have several half-finished projects lying around. Some I started with great enthusiasm, only to lose interest along the way. Others I am absolutely certain I will finish, but I keep getting sidetracked by newer ideas. This past summer, I dug into a box of those lost/forgotten projects and made a few decisions. Picking Flowers Sweater I…

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:…

Orbit the dragon with wings
A while back I crocheted Orbit the dragon from the free pattern by Projectarian. Initially I wanted to combine the dragon’s cute ears with the wings available in the expansion pack, but I eventually decided against it. However, I did decide that I would one day crochet the expansion pack dragon with wings. It took me quite a while, but…

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…

Fox for baby Thomas
In October a friend/colleague became mom of a little boy, Thomas. Of course I also wanted to make something myself to give when I went to visit, and when I saw the birth announcement, I immediately knew that that something would be a fox. First I had wanted to imitate the fox from the announcement, but then I saw this…

Comet CAL #1
Last Wednesday marked the beginning of the CAL for Comet the Unicorn by Projectarian. All those who purchased the pattern will now be receiving a part of the pattern every week until December 12th. After I purchased the pattern, I started digging in my yarn stash. I refused to buy new yarn, since I have more than enough lying around…

Unicorn CAL
The other day, when I clicked open the Pinterest-app on my phone, this image immediatly jumped out to me. Of course, I immediatly clicked through and arrived on the blog of Jessie van In, a.k.a. Projectarian. This sweet unicorn is a pattern she designed based on her years of experience of crocheting her Nomadic Galaxy Pony’s. Each time she posted…
