Sunday morning is my favorite time of the week – starting with walking the dog and enjoying the silence in the neighborhood and continuing with some quality time reading a new book, knitting or crocheting or making photos for a new pattern. This Sunday I am spoiled: I got to do all the above!
But, I am the most excited about the new craft book that I got! Maybe some of you remember that some (long) time ago I participated (and won) in a contest organized by Freubelweb in collaboration with Mollie Makes and Tirion Creatief. I then got to meet Loes Verhoeven who is the brain behind the Freubelweb – a very extensive platform for Dutch DIY projects of all kind. Now, after more than a year she has published her own book about … crafts! Easy to read (unfortunately, only for Dutch readers), full with beautiful images and cute projects, it is the perfect companion for the beginner or for those that want to learn the basics of a new craft. Me for instance, I am not very proficient in felting. But now I have a good resource to get me started :)
Still! Before beginning with a new craft I will first write the new pattern to be featured on Moeke Yarns website. For this week I thought of a crochet project that is particularly welcome during autumn: boot cuffs and matched hand warmers. For this project I used Elena wool dyed with leaves from the quince tree. And if all goes well the pattern will be online today :)
