The plans Hi! Just a ‘quick’ note from me about the progress of my plans! I recently revealed that I have new plans for my videos and my websites. I am currently working on a series of videos to teach beginners how to crochet. I will also make pattern videos, so that it remains interesting for experienced crocheters, and I will do the same for knitting. An ambitious plan, but that is what I actually intended The Crafsteacher for a long time ago. Learning curve The past few weeks have been a real learning curve for me! My husband always filmed, and I did theRead More →

The job is done! My ebooks are released! My ebooks, with lots and lots of patterns, are released. I started thinking about it and working on this already about 2 years ago, with some breaks, but especially the last couple of months I’ve worked very hard to get it done. And it was a pleasure to do! To see come alive what I had planned in my head. I’m so happy to present this to you! This series of books contain base patterns that you can combine to create you own projects: blankets, scarfs, coasters, table runners, or even clothing, but I leave that toRead More →

What happened lately It looks a bit quiet on my side, and that is correct, that is, publicly. My husband and I are having quite a challenging year. We sold our house and bought another one, and this all in Corona-times. We moved in two steps from the western side to the eastern side of this country. Moving is one of the most stressful activities in a persons life anyway, but add to this a child that became quite ill (and I’m thankful to tell she completely recovered), and Corona, that made a lot of things go down, well, I guess you will have anRead More →

Roman Tiles for the Scheepjes Stone Washed/River Washed Colour Pack Here it is: the Roman Tiles pattern, that I designed especially for the Scheepjes Stone Washed/River Washed Colour Pack.. It is made using the interwoven crochet technique it the round, and the blocks are joined right away with the join-as-you-go method. If you click on the picture next to this, you will see the backside of the blanket. It is not a very large pattern, but the beauty is in the use of the gorgeous colors of the yarn. You will make 54 ‘solid’ blocks, and extra blocks on each side with the leftovers ofRead More →

The HAL CAL 2018 on repeat, now in mosaic crochet Yep, you’re reading this correctly! I will do the HAL CAL of 2018 again.

A couple of months ago I added more functionality to my software, so that I can create mosaic crochet pattern charts and descriptions from my interwoven crochet designs. I was planningRead More →
