The countdown is nearly over! For me there is only one day left, while for others there are still two days. Either way there will probably not be as much time for crochet as any of us would have liked. Instead I hope you are all fortunate enough to be spending time with your loved onesđź’• Continue reading
I cannot remember how often I have stood in my bathroom in the evening ready to remove my make-up just to find that I … AGAIN… had forgotten to buy more cotton pads!?
I write this in past tense, because I have replaced them with my own crocheted ones – YAY!!
No doubt the weather at the moment is a key inspiration for my projects!?
Being a huge fan of all colours I have never understood why we in these dark months dress to match! Granted I too own a black winter coat.
That is also why I love making Winter accessorizes with either a little bit of sparkle or in some bright colours, and now is definitely the time for crocheted hats.

The past couple of months I have focused on finalizing what I call my “Warm & Woolly” collection – I still have a few more to go, but the crochet patterns available at the moment should keep your legs, hands and ears warm during Autumn/Winter.
Todays post is all about a quick and fun project, so you can spice up your flip flops.

1 ball of yarn
+ matching size hook

This is where the fingerless gloves come in handy… an added bonus is that you are able to use your smartphone without removing the glove first!?
I am an avid bicyclist… However often in the mornings it is still a little brisk, so I was very happy once I finished these fingerless gloves.
Once upon a time I decided to crochet a blanket in granny squares. For some unknown reason it laid half-finished in the back of my closet. To this day I still do not know why I never finished – the colours were beautiful and the yarn oh so soft.
I have recently become very passionate about yoga, but I am already reaping the benefits. However like crochet the lingo is very confusing to begin with – I looked like a giant question mark the first time the instructor told us to do the spider pose?!
A friend of mine’s 1 old year boy needed bibs while in nursery, and as most store bought bibs look alike, she asked me if I could crochet some, so they would not be mixed with everyone else’s – As his name is Marius I thought that a big “M” on the bib definitely would personalize it.
