2023

Hi! :) 

For those of you who have noticed I post rarer and rarer here .. I wanted to tell that it might stay that way for a while .. as I now post more on patreon and do try to post something on instagram :)

At the moment patreon is THE place to get the most attention from me :)

Everything I plan to post there for foreseeable future:

  • temperature Blanket CAL as Fine, Aran, Chunky & Super Chunky Patrons; 
  • new mandala pattern a month as Super Fine, Fine, Worsted, Chunky & Super Chunky Patrons ;
  • new hexagon a month as DK, Aran, Worsted, Chunky & Super Chunky Patron;
  • pattern of the month (available here just for a month) as Super Chunky Patron- where I will share that new pattern I am obsessed about at that moment or one of my good old patterns ;)
  • and early access to youtube videos (if there are any) any and all Patron
so come and join me there ;)

If you are not ready to become a patron you can always find my patterns on my ravelry shop as well as my etsy shop ;)

also for those of you who have missed this: I now have youtube channel as well! I post there rarely, but it is worth looking into ;) trust me!

Pattern release: Ripple Effect Mandala

Get your pdf on etsy or ravelry! ;)

***

Ripple effect mandala is the mandala I worked on all summer .. it went with me and the kids to the playgrounds and seaside .. on shorter and longer adventures with family and friends .. mine as well as their .. for me it embodies and all the happy places we managed to visit this summer :) 

 

As with all the things that take time - it is good to know what you are trying to achieve - so with first stitches I decided it should look like a giant flower. And I took it with me and worked on it whenever I could..

  

The name Ripple Effect came to me when I was looking at it half way done and thinking whether or not I should finish it (because I got stuck .. as it sometimes happens to everyone) and it hit me - even though everything repeats (and might get boring at times) it is never quite the same if we keep on going so I persevered .. & it bloomed just wonderfully .. 
what I wanted to say - yes it is possible to find the happiness in mundane tasks or to find the twist that makes those things special :) like going to the playground for 100th time that week .. :D

Pattern release: Wedding Ring Blanket

If you are a fan of quilts you surely know stunning wedding ring quilts & this is a crochet version for those of us who prefer hook instead of a needle :)
 
Pdf available on etsy and ravelry!
& make your own stylish throw!


Pattern pdf consists of 13 pages of written instructions (US crochet terms), pictures explaining harder parts and colour page for a bit of colour planning.

Blanket is made from motifs and joined as you go. Start with granny diamonds (you might be familiar with these) but for this pattern arrange them differently and then join these new blocks with ellipses and half ellipses.

I use 18 different shades of Scheepjes Color crafter. If you plan to make throw sized blanket you will probably need 2 skeins of shades you will use for last granny diamond round and for joining.

If you are already familiar with Granny Diamond pattern keep reading ;)
