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 […]
I don’t know about you, but I am always excited for a new season, especially if it is Spring! And while getting ready for Spring is mainly about cleaning, reorganizing and getting rid of stuff we don’t need, and probably never needed, it also concerns our wardrobes. I love to switch seasons in my and […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
