Aaaand, I’m back with a new design in a gorgeous new yarn by Scheepjes. Diversion is a wide asymmetric crochet scarf, worked on the bias using bold colours. I hope the colours make you smile so wide that you feel a pinch in your cheeks! Diversion Noun 1. the action of turning something aside from […]
Diversion Scarf {Dutch Translation}
Diversion is een brede asymmetrische gehaakte sjaal, met gedurfde kleuren bewerkt. Ik hield van de eenvoud van de stekencombinatie, en ik had die duizelingwekkende ‘nog maar één rij’-aandoening terwijl ik naar elke kleurverandering rende. Toen ik aan deze sjaal begon, bevond mijn geest zich op een heel rare plek, en eraan werken deed me denken […]
Pansy Pizza Pattern {Crochet Mandala Wallhanging}
This Mandala is a celebration of FUN and joy. It is also a celebration of everything I love about crochet – colour, prettiness, whimsy, nostalgia… The pansies were adapted from a piece of crochet lace my great-grandma made in the ’50s, and when I initially published the pattern for the Pansies in 2014, the process […]
Pansy Pizza Anyone?
Et Voila! My Pansy Pizza is all done. Don’t judge me for the name. When I made my first (wonky) prototype many years ago, it seemed like a great idea. If I am going to keep growing her (which I AM), I suppose I have to give her a better name. But for now, she’s […]
Having Fun with Pansies (and Colours)
I have been having so much fun playing with the Rainbow Softfun Minis. I love the challenge of using a set number of colours and a set amount of yarn. Where I would usually just pick whichever colours I like without fear of running out, using a box like this means that I have to […]
Playing With Rainbow Colours
Over the next four weeks (or five, or six), I will be sharing a new project with you. A new OLD project. One of those I never got around to tweaking and writing down, but have always wanted to share. This one is even older than Charlotte’s Universe, but much (MUCH) smaller…unless I decide to […]
Sue’s Dream: Pattern
Sue’s Dream was created by my friend Jenny Lowman. Just like with Charlotte’s Dream and Sophie’s Dream, she decided to take my very humble Sue Square on a journey of colour and layout, and we are so in love with how it turned out. The square was originally designed as a nod to my friend […]
Sue’s Dream: Reveal
Hee hee hee… After all the teasing, here she is in all her beautiful simplicity: Sue’s Dream! Do you see what I meant about the layout being my favourite part of the blanket? Doesn’t it both calm and celebrate the colours so very well? If you haven’t been following this little journey, you may wish […]
Sue’s Dream: Work in Progress
I am very excited to show you a few work-in-progress photos of Sue’s Dream. There will only be a few, mind you, because I don’t want to spoil the surprise of the layout (too much). Like I said last week, the layout is my favourite part of this blanket (apart from the colours). In case […]
Sue’s Dream: The Yarn
Over the next four weeks, Jenny and I will be sharing a new project with you. It’s called Sue’s Dream, and just like with Sophie’s Dream and Charlotte’s Dream, Jenny has taken one of my squares and run with it. Unlike the other two ‘Dream’ patterns, though, the base square is extremely simple and the […]
