When I had enough, or rather felt like I wanted to make something continuous rather than many small things, I decided to crochet a blanket from all my […]

Irresistible Cotton Yarn
By total accident I happened to buy a whole bag of cheap and beautiful cotton yarn this summer when grandmother was visiting. I could not resist the pretty colours and it was time to try to make my first hexagon! I found a good description online and started to crochet round, and round… and I […]
When a tote is a cozy cat blanket
