The start It was a bit delayed because of personal circumstances, like I explained in my previous post, but here it is, the Hooked and Locked CAL 2020! This time not a design with rows of smaller designs, but a design with several designs put together in overlapping blocks. That’s why I gave it an extension to the name: The Blocks. You can find all information here: Hooked and Locked CAL 2020 – Introduction and overview. You can do this design in mosaic crochet and interwoven crochet. I have an extra page to help you get through the setup of the interwoven crochet version, because IRead More →

When life kicks in I already was a bit carefully in my previous post about the release date of the HAL CAL 2020, and it turned out I needed it! I need to delay the release date with one week. The reason for this is that my eldest daughter became quite sick. When I wrote my previous post on January 18 it looked she had a ‘simple’ virus, but it turned out to be a bit severe and she did become more sick during the period after that. We took good care of her the last week and a half, but for me that alsoRead More →

Long-awaited, but here it is! It took quite some time, and I admit I have hesitated if I would do this, but decided that I will!!! A new CAL! I got inspired, and thought it should be doable, despite the super busy period I’m in personally. No worries, it is all very positive, but it takes a lot of my time and energy. And I’m really wanting to do it! Because honestly, I became a little ‘crochet tired’. I have always been a woman with lots of crafting hobbies, and I like to switch between things. I also just wanted to spend more time withRead More →

Interwoven crochet in the round Have you already done interwoven crochet, but would you want to get the effect of this picture? This is possible, without complicated color changes! You can do this by doing interwoven crochet that is done in the round. I have made a quite elaborate tutorial here on the website, with lots and lots of pictures, drawings and a lot of explaining. I do the tutorial using the pattern shown on top of this blog. The pattern of Starburst will be published later, so please have a little bit more patience for that. I have 3 videos that go along withRead More →

Something which gives more possibilities to create really beautiful projects! But first something new today! I made a new tutorial for interwoven or locking crochet.

I announced it already a couple of times something new was coming, but I’m finally ready to present to you the materials that I’ve been working on the last couple of weeks.

Last week the last pattern of the blanket Is was so much fun again to see several members finished their blanket and showed their picture of it. Or of their table runner or shawl they made of it. So great! So please continue to share your pictures on facebook. Like mij husband said yesterday when I was scrolling through the group: ‘do you not find it a strange idea that your blanket is now in others people homes on the couch or on the bed?’. Yes, that still feels a little bit strange to me, but I also like it very much. Also an honorRead More →

What an adventure! Oh my, what an adventure this has been! I really did not expect this to become such a huge success. I am still happy with that every single day! Really! Of course I hoped it would be picked up when I was thinking about doing a CAL about the interwoven or locking crochet technique, but that it would become such a success, and that I would get so much positive response, I absolutely didn’t expect that to happen. Message of this post: ‘Wow! This makes me blush! I’ts 14:35 pm and I already have 56 members. I really didn’t expect that. ThankRead More →

2 Versions: a light and a dark one Phew, quite exciting! I really really worked hard to have this finished in time, but they are here. The (paid) patterns for the christmas table runners. I have 2 versions, that do look a lot like each other, but are just a little bit different. One has a dark background, the other a light background. When I was working on the design of one of them, and I tried out how it would look if you just switched the light and dark color, it turned out that it was not very nice. So I made 2 versionsRead More →
