Gingham blanket
Besides endlessly starting new crochet and knitting projects, I also sometimes finish something! This project appeared once in an “on the go”, when I had just started it. A niece had shared the happy news of her pregnancy, which for me is always the signal to start working on the baby blanket as a maternity gift! This time my eye…

On the go #11
My making frenzy seems to have subsided somewhat last month, but I am very happy that I still regularly knit, crochet and sew! I worked on two ongoing projects, completed a request and started a new project. I haven’t continued with the embroidery/hat project from the last updated unfortunately. It will probably take me some time to work up the…

Genre blanket 2022: December
Yes! It’s finally done! The last stripes of my genre blanket have been crocheted!! I am so happy with the result! In December I read 9 more books across 5 different genres. This time I also read the same genre twice in a row, so that the blanket got two same coloured stripes one after the other. December genres 1.…

Genre blanket 2022: November
Some great progress! Another month finished, not even a week after I finished October! Granted, November was a fairly light reading month compared to other months, with only 7 books read, but still! And yes, it took me another week before I got to writing this blog, lol. November genres 1. Sci-Fi 2. Horror 3. Horror 4. Graphic Novel 5.…

Genre blanket 2022: October
Talking about procrastination, how embarrassing is it that I’m still working on this 2022 genre blanket? Admittedly, I only have the last trimester left, but still, we are now almost halfway through 2023! Tsk, tsk! Fortunately, my desire to knit or crochet is starting to rekindle. Coupled with beautiful weekend days and an audio book in the ear and I…

Genre blanket 2022: September
The genre blanket I wanted to make in 2022 is still not completely finished. It grows slowly but steadily. It is clear that I will still keep me busy for a while in 2023. That is why I have completely reconciled myself with my decision not to start a new one for 2023. Otherwise I would completely overstress myself, which…

Genre blanket: August
Finally some more progress in my genre blanket of 2022! Since we are already quite far into the first month of 2023, I have put the idea of making another bookish blanket in the closet this year. I thought about it for a while, because it really is a very cool concept with surprising results. But since I still have…

Genre blanket: July
I’m quite a bit behind on my genre blanket these days. All my crafting time has been spent on knitting lately, but more on that in a next post 😉 I only just finished July in my genre blanket, and unfortunately haven’t gotten further along with the other months yet. There’s just so much I want to do, and so…

Hot off the knitting needle
Ever since I knitted my first baby blanket, the itch to knit has been slowly coming back to me. To harness that urge, I decided to dig up some more old stash yarn and knit it up in the most basic pattern that I could find that wasn’t just rib stitch. And that’s how I stumbled on the Sliding is…

Genre blanket: June
June turned out to be another good and varied reading month, albeit a bit more Sci-Fi heavy than usual, but that’s a genre I want to read more of anyway. In total I read nine books spread over 6 different genre blanket genres. Juni genres 1. Sci-Fi 2. Thriller 3. Sci-Fi 4. YA Fantasy 5. Historical Romance 6. Sci-Fi 7.…
