In all my years of crocheting I actually never made a real scarf. And I don’t know why I never made one because making a scarf is a lot of fun! The rows are short and work up quickly and I loved seeing it grow. I felt like one of those pictures of someone old, …
My only problem with crochet is that I love a knitted look. So when I found out that there is a stitch that gives you exactly the same look with a crochet hook I needed to try! And of course, I did not want to make any knitted look because I love fair isle …
One of the fun things of having kids is that you can always make them something new and our little boy was in need of a hat when the days were getting colder. I wanted to make something with colourwork, but everything I tried became either to thick or not to my liking. When I …
