This summer I was on tour in South Africa with the sweet girls from Be Inspired to teach how to make the flower shawl you see above in the pictures. You can still buy kits for this shawl here. During one of the workshops I met Vinni from Vinnis Colours and spend my last day at her house […]

I usually only make one shawl, but this one hooks up so quick I thought I’d try it with 3 different yarns. I used chunky yarn with hook 6 mm. My friend José Dammers (check her beautiful freeform crochet work here) said it reminded her of African Masks so I decided to call it the […]

Just recently I met Claire at a trade faire, she showed me her new Chunky Cotton. I fell in love with all the colors right away, but chose these 4. Maybe a bit of an unusual combo but I love it! As soon as they arrived I started playing with them. The yarn works up very […]

My little one was playing with my yarn and put these colors together. Not really my choice, but I thought they looked good together. This color combo felt like summer to me and inspired me to make a Summer Shawl. The Catona Denim a 100% by Scheepjes is perfect for it! You can buy this […]

After my Happy Whirl Shawl I am hooked on this yarn Whirl by Scheepjes. This time I chose The Pistachi Oh So Nice Then I turned on Netflix, picked a nice series and started playing with this yarn cake. I ended up whit this beauty…. I love the way it looks, I love the way […]

Most of you know me for crocheting Flower Shawls, but I do love to do blankets also and then mostly quilt inspired ones. A favorite of mine is the Jack’s Chain Quilt, I really love that one, how it plays with your mind. Since I do not like sewing as much as I used to, […]

Have you seen this new yarn by Scheepjes, called Whirl? First I did not know what to make with it and did not know wether I liked it or not. But the yarn felt so nice and soft I just had to try it out.Right away I found the yarn wonderful to work with, but […]
