In summer it can be challenging – what to crochet? I know there are people who don’t like to crochet in summer, I know there are some who don’t like to crochet with cotton. So, what to do? If it’s too hot to work with wool on big winter garments, my suggestion would be – […]
As I told you before, this year I am trying to make many more items for us, ladies! This cardigan is currently my favorite. The way it’s constructed provides perfect fit, it is worked top down so you can check the fit as you proceed. It is fitted around the chest, but flares down from […]
I am coming to you today with two news! Well, actually three news! First, there is a new pattern release! I designed it especially for LoveCrochet website using MillaMia Naturally Soft Aran yarn. I just can’t tell enough how much I loved this yarn. It is so soft, so wonderful to work with. I am […]
Good news, my friends! I finally designed something for us ladies too. I told you, this year I was going to work on more designs for adults and this is the first one. I personally love how it turned out. The yarn was gorgeous (I used MillaMia Naturally Soft Merino), the pattern keeps your interest […]
I don’t know about you, but I am always excited for a new season, especially if it is Spring!

I love to switch seasons in my and […]
I guess most of us are happy that it is march already and it means Spring is just around the corner! And that also means it is time to think about spring/summer projects! Here is the one you need to give a try! I designed this dress for LoveCrochet, (yes, my patterns are now available […]
We all know that in the crochet world there is a very small choice of patterns for boys, especially for grown ups. It is the fact and probably there is little to do about it. But I do believe that you can make great masculine garments not only for babies but for big boys too. […]
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 […]
