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…

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.

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 needed some place to store my writing and crochet utensils. So, I thought of reusing some of the used jars and crochet a cover to make it prettier.
