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. […]
Hello fellow crocheters! I hope your 2018 started well and while I can’t believe January is already gone I am excited to share some news with you! First, some time ago I shared a video tutorial about my knit-look stitch. It is available on my YouTube channel (yes, I have one!) and I hope you […]
While I was working on my crochet Tiered Jacket pattern, I made a short video tutorial about the edging I made for it. It is an easy technique and you can use it for any cardigan, not only for this particular one. I hope it will be useful for you! One of my this year […]
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 […]

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! […]
Should we speak about the newest patterns of this Autumn/Winter season? You’ve probably seen these already if you are following me on Facebook and Instagram. But I realized I never got posted them here. So here we go! We all know Autumn is a perfect time for crafts! Especially because Christmas still seems a bit far and we don’t need to worry about our to-do lists, […]
Hello, lovelies! I hope you are enjoying summer so far! We really do, although we are having a busy one. In June I travelled with kids to my home town – Riga, Latvia where we spent 3 weeks with my family. We really enjoyed it and time passed so fast. For awhile I didn’t travel […]
