Here you can buy original crochet patterns, learn new techniques, and dip into stories of life in the South of Sweden. Welcome!
All in Creative Life
Choose the right yarn. Practice. Don't give up even after 24 failed attempts. Accept you will become addicted to knitting socks.
Finally, after three very long months I can share news of a Very Important Project.
All the jam, all the plans, all the writing. Just a normal pre-holiday rush month then!
On a gloriously warm spring day I find myself swatching with wintry woollens. Maker Me is confused - where are the pastels, the cottons? Yet Creator Me knows that needs must, release schedules are to be followed. How do you find a compromise between the two?
A morning after our first winter in Sweden, THE morning. The light is back, and I wake up to the sun’s delightful trickery.
#MeMadeMay , #MendItMay ... There is so much sewing, knitting and crocheting to do this month I could burst!
After a long winter being stuffed under bike helmets and dragged through snow, it was time for a little hat TLC. A little Maker's Maintenance - so easy to do, but so easy to neglect?
April, and therefore spring, is here in all its capricious exuberance. In between showers and sunny spells, I'll be making Tops, cooking up Blanket Recipes, and turning the balcony into a riot of colour. What does your April look like?
