What I have learned myself by constantly exploring and re-doing, what I have found through long searches on the vastness of the internet.
I’m making a tablecloth. I decided to record the progress day by day. Day 1. I had to unravel it once. It seemed that I had been crocheting too loosely. I couldn’t do any more; my eyes were closing. Day 2 I managed to crochet a little in the car as well. There was quite…
A little bird told me that my niece gets rather cold while working with the horses at the stable and could use a cardigan. The bird chirped today and about a week and a half later she had it. But to keep her legs warm too, I made warm knee-high socks in the same style.…
And the new owner seems pleased with the shawl. At least I hope so 🙂
My fingers have to keep moving. I spent about a week crocheting the edging, no more and no less than six metres of it. Then I spent four hours, with short coffee breaks, sewing it to the fabric. It was made for the round table when it is extended. At least now, when the whole…

A little girl came up to me one day and asked what I was doing. I told her I was knitting something pretty for a lady. Then she asked, “But when are you going to make me a cardigan?” At first I was speechless, but I said that once I had finished the lady’s one,…
