I handed it in almost two months ago but it’s like my brain hasn’t fully understood that it’s done and I can now relax. To shortly describe the project, it is a hands […]

ASTRA pattern update!

When I put my crochet patterns for sale I usually focus on making interesting repeat patterns that can be used for different products.

My first tapestry crochet pattern!

Fletcher, my first tapestry crochet pattern is finally available for purchase on the webshop. I was a bit nervous to put it out there. I’ve been crocheting for years but I’m no expert.

Berlin Spring

I haven’t done colour palettes for a while and I’ve really missed it. In these really difficult times I’m finding it therapeutic to work with colours.
