Free pattern :: Sedimentary Shawl ::
My very first crochet pattern is available for free on Ravelry as of today. Yay! Sedimentary is a small, triangular shawl that can be worked in two different shapes. Depending on the available yarn/yardage and chosen hook size the fabric can vary from dense and warm to light and airy. Also size can be easily customized.
FO :: Qwist Hat ::
View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sooza (@sooza_g) Summer seems to have taken its leave and I actually finished a new hat. One of the first items to cross of my winter knitting list.

The last of the quiet

Summer (vacation) has come and gone
Today is already the last day of my 3 weeks summer vacation. Tomorrow little Mr. T’s daycare will open its doors again and Ms. Nike is already attending summer project at her school. How can three weeks be gone so quickly? It feels like we didn’t do anything but at the same time we got

Originally I had planned to follow Lucy’s original Cozy
FO :: Crochet Circle Cushion ::
Another fun idea of Lucy from Attic24 – the flat circle cushion. Nice way to use up some left over bits and pieces and the resulting cushion is a fun and colorful addition to hour crazy household. For the backside I used a cotton/microfiber blend yarn double and worked with a larger hook. This way the bottom
Easter Impressions
With kids the Easter holidays are quite the chocolate and egg filled affair. This year we visited my husband’s family in Hesse and enjoyed some nice countryside and peace and quite while the kids got entertained by the grandparents.

Happy New Year
As always the end of a years seems to come way quicker than you think. For us the weeks leading up to Christmas were filled with appointments, to do lists, short dark evenings and before you can even blink it’s a new year. Especially with kids the end of the year is not a particular
Butterflies
This drab and dark November weather calls for some cheering up, me thinks. I got out the origami paper and had a look around for some butterfly folding instructions to decorate up the colorful dried physalis twigs.
