There will be worked on this page, but you will find already enough information. Follow the links on this page, so you will find all the information you need. If you have never done interwoven or locking crochet, you can best start with the video tutorials in this playlist: Interwoven or locking crochet. With these videos you can get acquainted with this technique in a simple way. You can first focus on crocheting the 2 filet crochet layers. In these videos I use extra double crochets (that you do not normally do!) for the lower border, the sides and the top border in color 1, andRead More →

Last week the last pattern of the blanket Is was so much fun again to see several members finished their blanket and showed their picture of it. Or of their table runner or shawl they made of it. So great! So please continue to share your pictures on facebook. Like mij husband said yesterday when I was scrolling through the group: ‘do you not find it a strange idea that your blanket is now in others people homes on the couch or on the bed?’. Yes, that still feels a little bit strange to me, but I also like it very much. Also an honorRead More →

What an adventure! Oh my, what an adventure this has been! I really did not expect this to become such a huge success. I am still happy with that every single day! Really! Of course I hoped it would be picked up when I was thinking about doing a CAL about the interwoven or locking crochet technique, but that it would become such a success, and that I would get so much positive response, I absolutely didn’t expect that to happen. Message of this post: ‘Wow! This makes me blush! I’ts 14:35 pm and I already have 56 members. I really didn’t expect that. ThankRead More →

A nice and simple surrounding border When you’ve finished crocheting row 160a, do not cut off the yarn of color 1. The thread of color 2 can be cut off and you can darn in the end. We will now make a border of single crochets around the entire blanket with color 1, and we will only work into the outer border. This will make that the blanket gets a nice straigth edge. DThe border stitches of color 2 do not need finishing. They look good already because of the weaving through because of how the pattern was designed. Important! Take a smaller hook thanRead More →

Late blog Hi everyone! Today the blog that was promised. I wasn’t feeling well this week, so I published the new pattern a day earlier when I felt things going down, but without the accompanying blog. Some of you are already finished with the new pattern! But here is the blog. I’m doing fine again by the way! Thank you very much for all you kind wishes! The butterflies It was nice to see that you also liked the butterflies so much. There even was a person that used this pattern and the suns to make a very cute doll blanket. Really fun to seeRead More →

2 Versions: a light and a dark one Phew, quite exciting! I really really worked hard to have this finished in time, but they are here. The (paid) patterns for the christmas table runners. I have 2 versions, that do look a lot like each other, but are just a little bit different. One has a dark background, the other a light background. When I was working on the design of one of them, and I tried out how it would look if you just switched the light and dark color, it turned out that it was not very nice. So I made 2 versionsRead More →

The hint: a movement of it can cause a storm at the other side of the world I love butterflies. I find them so beautiful. And I like it how the change from caterpillar to butterfly is often used for the transformation of people, their behavior, their life. Without going into details I could tell you about that myself. Big steps in my life resulted in great changes. In the hint I was talking about ‘The Butterfly Effect’. When a butterfly is flapping its wings, it could cause a storm a couple of days later elsewhere on this planet. Not really of course, but it’sRead More →

Looks like cars, don’t you think so? It’s always a bit subjective with these small patterns, but my first thought really was little cars 🙂 . On a 4-lane way, in a traffic jam. I always have to think of that crazy Dutch song of Andre van Duin  🙂 . For the ones who do not know this: here is the video. Could be something that’s from before your time of course, but it’s still funny 🙂 . There was a lot of guessing again on facebook , and some guessed it right of course 🙂 . Did you see the back by the way?Read More →

The little fishies It was a bit exciting last week:  would you like the first part of the mystery-part of the HAL CAL? Apparently you did 🙂 . Thank goodness 🙂 . Phew! So I was very glad with your reactions!  This week diamonds There was some guessing of course what it would be this week, and the hint was quite obvious this time 🙂 . Drop the name ‘James Bond’, and then it’s clear of course. But please keep guessing the next weeks, because it really makes me smile. My husband asks me why I’m grinning when I read your guesses, well, that’s whyRead More →
