Crochet

2020 was a crappy year, nobody argues with that. Of course, there are things to be grateful for that perhaps reflect on a more personal basis. Looking back at 2020 from the beginning is really difficult but then I thought maybe it’s better if I try to count on the blessings I have during that shit year. It’s difficult to start 2021 with a jolly mood. To be honest, I have a low expectation about 2021 considering that this will be the year following the start of the pandemic. Anything can happen—we might end up with a worse or better…

I usually create annual planning for what type of crochet skills that I want to accomplish. Since 2016, I decided to learn how to crochet wearables. But I never had the chance to actually sit down until 2017. It was quite an adventure because I didn’t know where to begin. I managed to find a Spanish language channel on YouTube that helped me create my first piece of wearable.

I’m back with another rendition of a pattern I found on Pinterest. This time, I made two shawls using one pattern with Ice Yarn’s Cake Cotton Fine. I call this pattern: Millefolia. Millefolia is a shawl pattern that I found on Pinterest. To get something out of the way before I continue writing about this shawl, I would like to credit the pattern to someone. But unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find the original creator. The original picture on Pinterest was not listed as Millefolia.

Scheepjes Whirl has been an inspiration for a long time. It’s been a year since my eyes were set on this premium yarn, namely Scheepjes Whirl. I feared a little that the yarn wouldn’t be friendly to me because it has acrylic as one of its ingredients. But I was wrong, and this time, I love it to be wrong.

Amigurumi is such a fun item to make! Here are 6 Useful Tips on Making Amigurumi that I gathered after spending two months of learning. Beginner Amigurumi I spent the whole of January and February 2016 learning how to make amigurumi. At first, dolls or stuffed toys aren’t my preferred items to crochet. But after being poisoned by those Pinterest images, I thought there’s no harm in trying to make amigurumi.

It’s time to learn amigurumi. These crocheted stuffed dolls have always intimated me from trying, but I am going to conquer it now. As with any other beginner lesson, I am starting with an easy and simple project. I found this cute owl pattern from Fukurou Crafts blog and decided to give it a try.

Terra Incognita is my latest big project. A friend of mine asked me if I can make him a bedspread for his new bachelor pad, and of course, I said yes. I designed a simple granny square motif with several colours with earthy tone because he wanted his bedroom to feel homey and warm.

I love how the process of making a mandala can employ colours as much as you desire. Of course, other projects can too, but mandala is something small, quick-to-do, and useful as anything. This pattern is written bilingually and I hope the pictures are also clear enough to explain each round. Epiphany Mandala has a total of eight rounds. No specific yarn required, you…

Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on linkedin Share on pinterest Share on whatsapp Share on email I began to crochet puff stitch sofa throw as a housewarming gift for a friend who just got her own place. I visited the place before and thought that a sofa throw would be a nice addition to adorn her new living room. It’s also nearing her wedding anniversary too. So, that would be a perfect event to gift this puff stitch sofa throw to her. Puff stitch isn’t my favourite type of stitch to work with, and yet I fell in…
