Huntrix dolls
If you’ve been following my On the Go posts over the past few months, you know that my creative world has been completely dominated by the Netflix film KPop Demon Hunters. For my niece’s birthday, you already saw the knitted Huntrix sweater, and today it’s the turn of another project from that same fandom corner: the crocheted Huntrix dolls, which…

On the go #19
Because of my week in Ibiza and just a few “I-don’t-feel-like-it” days, I’m — surprise! — behind on everything I want to make for Christmas. Whoops. You might notice that here on the blog too, because every free moment is currently more likely to be spent crocheting or knitting than writing blog posts. So, here’s this quick, word-light update on…

Birthday Hugs with Bluey
Coming up with ideas for birthday presents seems to get trickier every year. There are so many lovely toys and clothes I’d still like to make, but at the same time I sometimes worry I’m repeating myself a bit too much. A jumper here, a cuddly toy there… after a while it feels as if I’m always giving the same…

On the go #14
Recently, in my post about the granny summer top, I mentioned how I was craving a meditative crochet project. Something I could do mindlessly. That brought the elf coat back to the forefront of my thoughts — a project I started a while ago but abandoned once I reached the sewing stage. I’m the kind of person who likes doing…

Christmas keychains – Super Mario
After the Korean animal keychains it’s time to tell you more about the other keychains I made for Christmas. As I said in my previous post, while crocheting the SKZOO I started to doubt whether this gift was appropriate for all my nieces and nephews. I actually based myself entirely on what my oldest godchild likes and assumed that the…

Christmas keychains – SKZoo
Let me take a break from posting about my backlog of book boxes to tell you about all the things I made for Christmas presents this past holiday season. My fingers had been itching to start making something to give to my nieces and nephews for Christmas for a while, but I had zero inspiration. As the weeks flew by,…

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.…
