It wasn’t really planned when I designed this shawl, a bit unexpected actually, but I now have my first officially published crochet pattern on this website. I designed patterns before I just used for myself, but this feels like my first official one. I made video’s of it, they are published on my YouTube channel (links at the end of this post), and I also made a tutorial page for it (see here). So have a lot of fun!  Read More →

You’ve probably seen my wrap or shawl made with Alize – Superlana Maxi – Long Batik in a trapezium shape, but if you prefer to make a rectangular shape, you can do that with some minor adjustments.

Terminology I used the US terminology for the crochet stitches. See here how to translate: US single crochet = UK double crochet US double crochet = UK treble The Compound Starting Double Crochet Instead of making 3 chain stitches at the start of a new row, which will count as a ‘starting double crochet’, you can also use another way of making a ‘starting double crochet’ by making two single crochets (SC) on top of each other. This makes a bit thicker double crochet (DC), which will also take care of filling the gap that you will get when using 3 chain stitches as a starting DC.Read More →

Welcome to my new website! It’s exciting to start this new site. A journey that is starting, and I am full of expectation where it will lead me.

Okay, my intention is to share my knowledge and skills about the crafts I did in my life so far. And that’s a lot, ye be warned 🙂 . My husband once said that my greatestRead More →
