I hope you are doing well and all your Christmas gifts are ready (or almost ready). I try to slow down this week and while still looking for my Christmas spirit, I know it is coming! This time of the year can be very stressful and exhausting, but slowing things down just a little bit […]
Christmas is now just around the corner. I know you all are probably busy with many projects to complete before Christmas. Me too! And while I love to make Christmas gifts I usually don’t make them Christmas themed. However, this shawl is an exception. First of all, I loved the illusion of many fir-trees it […]
I am happy to present my mini collection of crochet knit-look patterns! I love knitted hats and mittens, but honestly, I don’t like to knit them. Like with socks. The texture is wonderful, the fit is great, but the process… even magic loop doesn’t save me. So, I thought I would better find a way […]
Let me present you the newest pattern I came up – Monkey Hooded Cardigan! It is kind of improved version of my Bear Hooded Cardigan. The construction is similar, but it is different at the same time. Monkey Hooded Cardigan is featuring textured front and back, cute little pockets and a tail! Yes, a tail! […]

I hope you are having wonderful summer and school-free time! My kids had the last school day yesterday and the first thing we did this morning – headed to the beach! Fortunately, we live not far from the coast. Summer definitely makes me happy and more alive, even if it means less crochet time. Yes, […]
One if my favorite items to make are blankets! Why? Well, it is one of those items which you can crochet without much thinking when you memorize the pattern. My favorite way to crochet is while watching some nice movie or TV show, however, it becomes impossible when I have to count and make notes […]
Do you love wrap dresses as much as I love them?! I am surprised it took me so long to create one. I think wrap dresses are the cutest no matter for adults or kids. And it is been a long time I was dreaming about making one. Finally, this is what I came up with. […]
I hope you are having wonderful Easter weekend and enjoying nice spring weather! To make it even better I have some treats for you! First one is a new pattern for Bell Sleeve Cardigan! Bell sleeves are very trendy now and you can see them everywhere. I think they look super cute on kids as […]
