New book

Today
I went to a very big store that sells very much yarn and fabric, and I went
crazy! So much choice! My boyfriend went with me, and he was a little bit
jealous of my scarf... so I told him to search for a nice yarn for a scarf for
himself. I will knit it for him, so that's a nice Christmas present!

I also buy this magazine! it's from Phildar, it's for knitting
and crochet an full of inspiration... I will be busy!

We booked this weekend a holiday home in Belgium... very lux, to celebrate that we are together again! We split up for 3 weeks, but we realized
that we couldn't be apart... so now we are back together, and very happy! Love is in the air again!

Crochet tomato

Homemade in the summer… this crocheted tomato, isn’t he sweet? It is in the style of amigurumi. I found it al little bit hard to make it, it is al very tiny and creak to crochet it.. ( I hope I spell the words correctly ) I get cramp in my fingers, and have to stop in a hour, stretch my fingers and hope I can do it again for a hour.
Much much easier is are these mouse’s, I have to
knit them and that is much more relaxing for my
fingers! I made 2 of them for our two cats… they
love them, because the yarn is sticking al little
bit on there nails is looks for the cats the mouse
is moving it selves! You can also made the tail in
a knot so you can wear it with your keys!

Forrest walk

A few weeks ago we went walking in the forrest near our
city... and we make some beautiful pictures!

The autumm is beautiful! All his colors, and plants. I think it's very romantich to walk in the forrest with your boyfriend, hand in hand, enjoying everyting thats nature has!

Fluffy scarf

Busy Busy Busy.... With a scarf! I found beautiful yarn in the shop in our
village. The yarn shop is closing there doors in December..... thats very sad,
because where do I found yarn now? there are not many store's who sell yarn. So
I am afraid I have to buy it on the internet.

But first my scarf! I have taken some pictures of it.. ( yes I am a little bit proud!) So look for your selves! This is the yarn! it has a little bit the feeling of fleece, and not so easy to knit!
The first time I tried it was very messy (???) Nothing else but knots! But with a little bit patience.....
The color fits me well! And I like the colors, that's very important! I am knitting on a very big needle size 9 in Holland, yes that's very
big! and very fast!

And this is the firs part of the scarf! When you're busy for a time it gets easier to knit....

It feels so warm and soft... so I could wait till its finish't

And this is the scarf when he's done!
He is very fluffy, and colorfull…
but the most inportant he keeps me warm. The scarf
is a little to short, so I went back to the store,
but al the yarn was sold!

But now I have to start with a new
project… mobile phone bags! I want to knit them and
sell them on my site. I will take a picture off them
when they are finisht!

How I started

2 years ago I started with crochet. Little flowers and bags, my mother in low learn me how to crochet.
When I was little my grandmother learn me to knit… as grandmothers do! I am no great knitter or super with crochet needles, but I love it!
In Holland were I live ( yes I am a Dutch girl) is knitting and crochet a small hobby, not very much people do it, but it gets popular again! In the 80’s everybody was knitting… Now we have the book stitch ‘n bitch it is getting very popular again… we are waiting for the translation of ‘happy hooker’ from Debbie Stoller.We love Debbie Stoller! I have the English version of the book, and I have to translate al the patterns, thats sometimes very hard to do.

Next time more about my hobby!
