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…

On the go #18: Derpy’s evolution
Pinterest is a bit of an addiction for me. It’s become a little morning ritual to scroll through the app while I sip my cup of coffee and collect ideas. Most of them sadly disappear into the depths of my mind soon after, but every now and then one lingers long enough to spark something new. And that’s pretty much…

On the go #17: KPop Demon Hunters – The Derpy Spinoff
Roughly in parallel with my knitted Huntrix jumper, another KPop Demon Hunters idea started to nag at me. While I was knitting stitch after stitch, something completely different was quietly brewing in the back of my mind… something involving crochet hooks, stripes, and… a tiger. A few years ago, I came across an absolutely brilliant Cheshire Cat Halloween project 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…

Granny Goes Improv: Four colours and some creative twists
After a few months of creative hibernation — something that seems to follow naturally after my annual Christmas crafting marathon — I’ve felt that familiar itch in my hands again these past few weeks. The urge to crochet, knit, tinker and try things out is back in full force, spurred on by Pinterest (which keeps bombarding me with crocheted tops),…

Super Mario and Luigi hats
My Super Mario creations for Christmas were not limited to the various keychains. While I was looking for inspiration for making those keychains, I stumbled upon this pattern by Laura Michels for large wearable Mario and Luigi hats. Although my hands were already feeling the strain of making the keychains, I couldn’t resist making these too, for my youngest godchild…

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,…
