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…

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:…

On the go #10
While reading initially appealed less to me in January, the creative itch for once persisted well after the Christmas making frenzy, resulting in me starting a couple of new things or continuing with the old. At Christmas the subject of relaxation activities came up. You probably know what I mean: puzzles, coloring books for adults, diamond painting, etc. My niece…

Granny Square Vest
Finally! FI.NAL.LY! There’s nothing like gift giving season to make me jump into action and finish projects I’ve been working on for too long! The story of this vest started in the early spring of 2023, when I spotted this model in the Terre Bleue window. I immediately felt the urge to start crocheting again and I started planning diligently.…

On the go #9
I had hoped that if I planned to blog at least monthly about my works in progress, this would provide some kind of counterbalance to my eternal indecision and doubt, and therefore encourage me to make decisions a little faster. Unfortunately, I don’t really notice much change in my behaviour as of yet, so I’m afraid this is going to…

On the go #8
Slowly, a little too slowly for my liking, autumn is creeping into the land. Not so much the weather, but rather the shops radiate this. The mannequins are given warmer autumn fashion, coziness with candles and plaids is promoted and, for those stores that sell them, more and more woolen items are becoming available. I always enjoy looking at the…

On the go #7
I’m one of those bloggers who isn’t really good at writing about unfinished things. I always wait to write about something when I’ve finished it and go “LOOK WHAT I MADE!”. However, I always enjoy reading posts about ongoing projects, because I like to see projects grow and evolve. Plus, I think if I talked more about the things I’m…

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…

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.…
