curly & cozy classics

Curly wool furs with or without sleeves and both can be worn inside out.

Two crochet classics from my handmade fashion collection, the cozy crochet cardigans I made a long time ago.

A piece that doesn't go out of style and feels wonderful soft and warm to wear.

You can find the crochet patterns in my ETSY SHOP.

checkered, double checkered

Checkered, double checkered, crochet cushion done.

I started the checkered crochet last month and while I was working on a new design for a pillow cover, I stopped halfway.

Not because I didn't like it, but because I was wondering how amazing this pattern would work on a xs woodwoolstool. Hahaha, these kind of jumps I make more often. Creating something while my mind is already working on the next project.

So I put the unfinished pillow project on hold and I started on a checkered mini stool cover.
You might have seen how cute the checkered mini stool has become. And yes, it's a keeper, the cutest piece of furniture in our new bedroom.

I wanted to make another one for sale and that one was gone in a blink.
Unfortunately I ran out of moroccan mini stools, so fingers crossed if all goes well I can bring new ones from the souk in October.

But luckily another cool crochet task was waiting for me and I finished the checkered pillow cover last weekend. The cover has two different sides. One side is white & lilac and the other side is multicolored with 6 different blocks in checkered pattern.

In the same colors I used for the mini stool cover; white, lilac, raspberry pink, pastel pink, bright blue, pale blue and yellow.

The checkered crochet cushion is now available in my Etsy shop and there is only one.

chevron cushion - another unfinished project done

Another unfinished project done.

The first stitches of this pillow I made last May.
This chevron pillow ended up on the pile of almost unfinished projects.

And all I actually had to do, was to buy an inner cushion and sew the seam. Having 'extra' time, somehow brings so much satisfaction.

The cushion has two different sides; one white & multicolored stripes and the other one white, lilac & yellow with smaller stripes.

Fancy to make one yourself?

PS: All patterns in my shop are still 1 euro each and I keep donating the pattern sales proceeds to a Corona fund. Since I started the 1 euro - pattern sale on March 15th, I already sold over 350 patterns, huge thanks to everyone who contributed to this 'creative' help!

julia sweater - knitting pattern

The JULIA sweater.

A new knitting pattern designed for the JULIA yarn by Zeeman, a Dutch textile super.
Julia yarn is available in 10 different colors; off-white, gray, green, lilac, yellow, red, pink, bordeaux, ocher, blue, baby blue and black. I chose lilac.

When you are a beginning knitter and you would like to knit something else than just a scarf, this is the perfect project for you!

I'm sure you are able to complete this easy-level project.
The sweater is reversible, knitted in one piece, so there are no seems on the shoulder. Both sides have a different look.

It's a great pattern for advanced knitters too, because the tricky part of putting your knitted sweater together, is a lot easier.

reversible

My favorite waistcoat looks also neat when you wear it inside-out!

With the groovy loops inward, the wooly waistcoat has a completely different effect!

The pattern is quite popular and some crocheteers already made ​​the waistcoat in a few days, I saw on Instagram. Cool!

Last week I picked up an unfinished project. I always have a few ongoing projects...
A large oblong pillow with two different sides.
Before our summer holidays I started the striped side of the pillow and after some harlequins it disappeared in a basket.
I've made some pillows for my Etsy shop before and a larger one for our sofa. It's my favorite pillow in the house.

So I decided to make a new large oblong [size 40 x 70 cm!] pillow for my Etsy shop.
I think both sides are equally beautiful! (that's why I laid the pillow in all possible positions for you)

skipping pillow

No game of musical chairs but this is a case of skipping pillow.
All you need is one chair and one pillow.
As you can see the harlequin pillow is reversible in all possible ways.
Funny to see how different the effect is, from another point of view.
It's in my tiny shop for the fancier...
