I joined two crochet shawls to create one large wrap, and I loved the result so much that it changed the way I plan my future projects.

This simple idea shows how shawls can be joined, reshaped, and transformed into something completely new.

This is my favorite set-up method, and I use it for almost all of my sweaters and cowls worked in the round.

It is easy and quick to make, gives a perfectly polished start, and is also quite elastic!

I've been working in a new rhythm this week! 🌱

I have plenty of projects on my hook, all at different stages, starting from nothing more than a bare idea. The challenge is that many of them require endless swatching, calculations, trying things out, and starting over.⁠ At the end of these working sessions, I often have nothing to show.⁠

There is a stitch which I think is the most underestimated in crochet - the Lover’s Knot (also known as the Love Knot or Solomon’s Knot). It exists mainly in one form: a kind of mesh created by elongated loops.

My oldest WIP, the mohair Pressed Violets shawl, is finally finished! What began as a simple experiment quickly turned into something I fell in love with. ❤︎

I started it in January 2025 to test the corrections I made in the updated pattern. That swatch I made was so cute and the fabric was just too lovely to stop, that I decided to crochet a full size shawl.

In this post, I share my thoughts on

• why yarn choice matters so much in modern crochet,

• how yarn affects texture, drape, and structure,

• and how crochet yarn preferences have changed from the past to today.

There are some projects that fill you with many happy moments, and my Kawoon is one of them!

Its story began unexpectedly and wouldn’t have happened at all if I hadn’t received the yarn for it by mistake - I didn’t order it. But I was told I could keep it and design something with it!

⁠In this blog post, I share the story behind Sobre La Luna, my new Malabrigo colorway:⁠

- The shades I explored⁠

- What I expected from the color⁠

- And what Malabrigo expected from me :)⁠

It is easy to achieve a nice fabric when using an average-weight yarn, but when it comes to lace or bulky yarns, the fabric can become less comfortable to wear, or the crocheting itself can turn into a small pain…
