As a crocheter I always try to learn (or invent) something new, fix some old issues and find new solutions to make the garment more comfortable and easy to wear. We all now that foundations chain is not very elastic and that might be an issue when working top down. Top down is my favorite […]
I hope you are doing well and you are ready for a new crochet project. You will love this one! Winter Garden Sweater is constructed in an unusual but at the same time very simple way. It has only side seams, looks very much like a knit and will push your creativity and crochet skills […]
Since I released my Bear Hooded Cardigan for kids I got really many requests to make same pattern for adults. It took me a few years to finally do it. And I couldn’t be happier with the result. The cardigan is really comfy and easy to wear. It is easy and pretty fast to make […]
Spring is approaching and it is a great time to update your little one’s wardrobe. I don’t know about you, but for me spring is the most productive period to crochet and knit. I am again inspired by the sun and good weather, but it is still fresh enough to enjoy working with the yarn. […]

Happy Holidays everyone! I hope you had wonderful Christmas and now you are ready to meet new 2019 with big hopes, plans and goals! I wish it will be the great one! While our end of the year is not going as we would wish it (thanks to kids varicella or chickenpox), crochet always saves […]

Holiday season is wonderful, but it can be stressful as well. I know many of you are rushing to finish their projects, gifts before Christmas and I am one of you. My mistake is that often I start really big projects ahead of a time (as I think) and then I realize I am not […]
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving (if you celebrate) and we all know what happens afterwards… yes, BLACK Friday! I know in Europe Black Fridays are very different from the ones in US, but it is becoming more and more popular here as well and I did spot some good deals today. 🙂 I […]
There is a new sweater pattern just released, my friends! It is a pattern for Raindrops Sweater! Initially this sweater was designed with a fuzzy yarn, like Drops Brushed Alpaca Silk. Using fuzzy yarns, in crochet can be scary, but the result is so worth it. You get super cute finished item, light as a cloud, […]
