Spring is finally getting here, and in quite an unusual way. It’s been cold and windy for weeks, and then suddenly the sun came out with almost summer temperatures. Guess we will not have a chance to wear mid-season clothes and will need to jump into the summer dresses and shirts right away. And then, I thought, maybe it is time to create some new accessories. So, this is how the Seeds Clutch came to life.  The crochet pattern is available on Ravelry HERE and Etsy HERE and you can enjoy a 20% introductory discount through Monday, April 8th, 2024. You do not have to enter any codes, as t ..read more

I continue to explore brioche crochet technique, and today I am happy to share a new design with you. Good news for those who enjoyed the Archway Square, as the new pattern is also a large brioche square which can be turned into an infinity stitch pattern.

The price you see now is a discounted one, and no codes are needed.  Lately, every time I start working on a new p ..read more

Year 2023 is right behind the door. I hope you had a relaxing holiday and time to meditate and reflex on the passing year. I do not make resolutions for a new year, as I think life does not finish on December 31st and does not start again on January 1st. And I do not really believe that it is possible to become a different person overnight. Though of course the last days of the year kind of force to think of what you’d like to bring to a new year. And what new achievements you’d like to make.  I’d like to become a better person. I’d like to find peace for my soul. I’d like to better bala ..read more

Welcome to Week 4 of the One Evening Mystery make-a-long. Time flies fast, and we are on the last part of the MAL already.

And some of them can be extended to bigger projects, too.  The MAL has not s ..read more

It’s officially a sweater season here in the Czech Republic. And to celebrate, I have just released a freshly new Lola Cardigan. This design is special for several reasons for me. It followed the period of creative darkness in my world and helped me to cope through. And also, because I decided to use my own colorway Lilla Bjorn of Scheepjes Our Tribe yarn.  The pattern is live on Ravelry HERE (and Etsy HERE) now and will stay at a special price through Monday, October 30th, 2023. When I was thinking about new garment design, I wanted to achieve a kind of vintage look, so used lots of pop ..read more

Do you usually bring souvenirs from the places you visit? I brought a Souvenir Blanket idea back home from a trip to the mountain lakes in Austria last summer. We took a boat ride, and I was inspired by a pattern on the boat’s floor. And this is how the Souvenir blanket came to life. Find the free pattern below. Hope you enjpy.
