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?
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

Our 10-day holiday is over, and so starts the usual dance with the inbox, the to-do lists (always multiples), the various mismatched socks and half-finished crochet projects dotted around the house. What to tackle first...
During the planning process of this site I realised I needed to pay more attention to how and where the materials I use were made. Given I see making as a way of nurturing the people I love, it made sense to give it this care. After weeks of 'homework' into animal herding, wool processing and wool trading (my evenings rock, I'm telling you), I drew my conclusions and set some yarn rules.
When we lived in Milan, we knew winter would be more or less finished by the end of February. In the south of Sweden, however? Not so much. We're well into March now and I've just woken up to snow outside the window again. Still, Spring is a time of new beginnings, which means new colourways and patterns chez Emmy+LIEN.
