Crocheting in the front loop: adding drape to your crochet

Posted: Friday, February 21st, 2014 @ 4:20 pm in Crochet, Tutorial | 4 Comments »

Totally unsuitable for garments, even more unsuitable […]

Playing with fiber, and a bloggy Award ! :-)

I recently became obsessed with textured batts and fiber. Spent hours drooling over some on Etsy, indulged in one lot, and started daydreaming about the day when I can afford to buy a drum carder… Then I found Laurel’s handmade hackles (she’s part of my Fiber swap group) and got mesmerized by this video showing […]

Lola, Tom and Nina

The other day we played paper dolls with Prune. Which reminded me of the ones I made back in november: I finally reworked them and you’ll find them There. I made them so you can move the legs, arm and heads by attaching them to the body either with a bit of scrap yarn (hell, […]
