A headband is my favourite solution on days when the wind wants to have its way with my hair and a hood won’t fit over a hat. I’ve put two versions side by side here: Helbepärg – crocheted with a textured pattern, and Helbevoog – a knitted, turban-style headband with a cable. Both are soft…
Do you know that feeling when the crochet hook has already developed opinions of its own and your fingers start whispering: “That’s enough now, Tiina…”?That is exactly how these two doilies made from cotton crochet thread came to be: one grand and large (about 70 cm), the other its sweet little sister (50 cm). Maimu…
I made these cushions simply because I needed something soft, peaceful and a little old-fashioned. Not that fashionable ‘minimalist beige’ being shoved everywhere at the moment, but something genuinely cosy. Filet crochet is one of those techniques that looks simple from the outside. In reality, it means endless counting, unravelling and quiet swearing to yourself.…
This year I decided that my 13-year-old granddaughter would get something truly special for her birthday: a clothing set crocheted by me. I made her a beige two-piece set consisting of a top and afour-tiered skirt in 100%cotton yarn, made with love and patience. 👚 The top is crocheted horizontally so that it stays stretchy…
If you thought a handmade bag was just an object, Magus Mann shows that it can have a personality of its own. Its yarn tells stories and its shape creates little moments of joy. This is a bag that is not afraid to be a little cheeky and colourful, while still being soft and homely…
Sometimes ideas are born from clouds. Pilveke Pille was named for her colour and character: airy, soft yet strong, like a summer cloud that doesn’t disappear but drifts peacefully across the sky. This light blue hand-crocheted bag is made for those who appreciate simplicity, calm and a little bit of dreaming. The bag is slim…
I discovered this crochet technique and fell in love with it at once. I decided to make a shawl. I used lace yarn, the kind I normally knit shawls with, or Haapsalu-style shawls. I cannot say the ones I make are true Haapsalu shawls, but they are similar: thin, with a sewn-on lace edging, and…
Fiery Tiia, Sunbeam Piret, Nightshade Õie Some ideas sit at the back of your mind for years, waiting for their moment. That is exactly what happened with these parasols. About ten years ago I was searching online for a completely ordinary umbrella and somehow ended up looking at photographs of crocheted parasols on Pinterest. The…
Some pieces are born quickly, others take time. Just like people, every doily has its own character and soul. These three lace table decorations came from different moments, but all carried the same thread: a calm rhythm brought to life by the dance of a crochet hook. Morning Breath –white, abundant lace, made to order…
Santa sent me an order. He asked if I could get it finished in time. What kind of question is that? I’ll work around the clock if I have to, with eye drops beside me, stopping now and then to stretch my fingers when the little devils start to hurt. I started making one just…
