in celebration of 5k followers on instagram ❀ ✩ ✿ ✾ ✫ ❃ ✺ ✭ ❇ ✰ ❈ ✬ ❊ ❉ ☆ ✱ ✲ ★

I organised a giveaway for free patterns over instagram to say huge thank you to all of my wonderful supporters there :)

5k still seems quite impossible but fluttering :)

I wasn't planning to write about it here but i made time lapse video of how I picked the lucky ones and it was too short to post on instagram .. :D so I decided to share here instead so everyone knows it was fate that picked the lucky ladies ;)

Well if you have seen the video you still have no proof because apparently less then 2 sec video (in MB it is even smaller than any of my pictures :D) must be processed to something that is just a blurr :D I should have made a real video (next time I will be smarter!) and this time you just have to believe what I say :P

pattern release: Harlequin (or LongGrannyDiamond)

Do you remember the Granny diamond? this is just like that, but totally different ;P
If you tried that one you can probably figure it out yourself ;) nevertheless, those of you who like this harlequin too and want to support my creativity financially ...

Jump over to the ETSY or RAVELRY and give it a go!

and as always - loads of photos of how it looked on the go 

pattern release: Triangular Madness

Finally came to my senses and finished this thing!
(the pattern was ready more than a year ago but I was just too lazy to write it down)

So last week when I saw the tag craftastherapy_patience - I knew I had to finish my Triangular Madness pattern at last ...

And now it's done - so proud of myself!

Jump over to the ETSY or RAVELRY and give it a go!

Smaller and bigger dots

Loooong forgotten project - but I found these dots when organising and thought I should share the pattern if anyone is interested in making that starblanket like I had envisioned... ;)

Smaller circles or the first round
Magic circle. Ch 4 (counts as first dc and ch 1). * dc in magic circle, ch 1 * repeat from * to * 8 more times. Sl st in the 3rd chain to make the circle complete. tighten magic circle.
(20 sts: 10 dc, 10 ch)

Granny Diamond pattern release!

You can buy the pattern on RAVELRY or ETSY ;)

Feels SO good to finish things!

One and a half month on this lovely blanket (and pattern) .. such a creative month! loved it - crocheted everywhere we went :D and I mean everywhere - I even managed to crochet by the seaside while sunbathing! (if my hubby didn't think I am crazy - now he is sure about it)

But my obsession with Granny Diamond pattern is not over yet ... I have already started another blanket (and pattern) featuring the diamond - this is gonna be awesome ;)
as I see it if you learn to make a diamond and all the halves/quarters I have shown you how

It's gonna be legen
wait for it
dary

but enough of future plans, this is the time and place to brag about the Granny Diamonds!
So here IT is!
