How exciting is this the Charlotte’s Universe CAL has finally started and I’m right at it :) We shall see how long I can sort of keep up with the pace of it. I fell super behind halfway through the Sophie’s Universe CAL 6 years ago so I’ve got the slight suspicion that I won’t be able to keep up with the speed of it. However, working from home gives me the advantage that I can actually crochet during my lunch break. At least one good thing that this pandemic has brought is when you’re asking me I’m more than happily continue working from home. The other thing is that I get some extra time with ..read more

Oh is there another crochet-along happening you might think? Yes, there is, but this one will be truly special and you shouldn’t miss out. When you have been crocheting for a while you might have heard of Sophie’s Universe. If you haven’t you have missed out on a great piece in crochet history. I highly recommend reading up on it! Sophie was truly special and to date the only crochet-along I actually finished! I really enjoyed being pushed out of my comfort zone and crochet a style I wouldn’t normally crochet. And in case you haven’t come across it yet I designed my Garden of Roses Square in h ..read more

It’s time to do another happy dance, which can only mean I’ve published another pattern in Inside Crochet. And believe it or not this pattern makes me really happy. The world might be not the brightest right now but crochet helps me cope with everything life throws at us. There is nothing more therapeutic than making one crochet stitch after another and turning it into something that excites the imagination. Even more so when it’s something I created together with my little girl. We might not be able to go on all the adventures we used to go on but this means we’ve got more time to get creativ ..read more

Russian Doll C2C Pillow

If you’ve crocheted for a while you might have found yourself in the same situation as myself. Plenty of leftover yarn from various projects, but there might not be enough of one colour to make a whole new item. When I designed the Russian Pinafore Dress for my little girl a couple of months ago she asked me if I could make her something matching that she can cuddle. My first thought was maybe a Russian Doll Amigurumi. But to make something that truly matched I didn’t have enough yarn leftover. So what else could I make that she could cuddle instead? A pillow! To ensure that the pillow matche ..read more

You can’t believe how excited I am to be finally able to share this design with you. It’s a milestone project for me and something I’m incredibly proud of. Looking back to 2016 was an incredibly busy year. I was working on several commissions while pregnant with my first child. Looking back I overdid the number of commissions that year as all I was doing was hitting one deadline after another. It seemed to never stop. Everyone kept on telling me you will have so much time to crochet while on maternity leave. However, somehow no one knew that I would end up with a never sleeping, and what felt ..read more

Rainbow bonnet

For some reason this year marks the year of the rainbow. Not just because of lockdown, but because I have started to introduce a little bit more colour into my designs. I still won’t go completely over the top, so don’t panic , but I might start pushing designing slightly out of my comfort zone a bit more. One of the designs that fits this exactly is my rainbow bonnet pattern. Made in easy to care for anti-pilling Scheepjes Chunky Monkey yarn. Perfect for tiny humans as it’s budget friendly too, which is always a big plus! One ball of each colour will give you enough yarn to make at least 2 if ..read more

Ellen the Elephant C2C Blanket

Last month (where has the time gone?!) I mentioned Ellen the elephant pram chain, only to realise that I’d never introduced the matching blanket I designed with it. I’ve clearly got a big mountain of patterns still to go through. Ellen the Elephant blanket was initially designed for one of my friends when she was expecting her little boy over 4 years ago. As they didn’t find out the gender beforehand she wanted a gender-neutral blanket to go with the grey/mustard tones in the nursery. Since I couldn’t think of any grey/mustard animal I thought that an elephant, with mustard accessories, would ..read more
