Finishing a new #filetcrochet tapestry at my lunch break.

I hope it protects me 😇🧿🪬🧶

White filet crochet tapestry, the pattern shows a Hamsa also called Fatima’s hand. The tapestry is laid out on a wooden floor, there is a crochet hook in one of the working stitches on top of the tapestry.

I’ve been eyeing it for years now, it’s not cheap, and as I was about to leave empty handed yesterday I turned around and many minutes later decided that I do need to treat myself. Now what do I make?! I want to make something for myself and probably a scarf or a shawl or a cowl…

I went to this annual crafts festival yesterday and it was a bit disappointing, mostly fabrics and leather goods this year and not that much yarn. Buuut, I did get two hanks of this beautiful hand dyed merino mullberry silk blend. It’s from a Lithuanian brand, Apmezga, and it’s delicious. 🧶 #crochet

In need of a good blocking but all done!

Metro card for scale. It’s about 115x55cm and I still need to figure out a frame for it.

The quote is from ‘1984’. Have you read it? Do you also feel like we are living it? 🙃

Home is where the 🧶 is. But I do love my earthly home Stockholm.

Have you been to Sweden? We have great textile art and crafts 😌

Started a new #crochet project which is a remake of an old piece of mine. #filetcrochet is so relaxing 😌🧶

And watching“In Bruges” which is a film I really really love 🤗

Slow progress on this one, I have to many wips going at the moment. But every time I pick this one up I remember how much I love this pattern. It’s much easier than it looks and very satisfying to make 💀🧶

Off white crochet shawl in the making, the pattern is made up of skull faces.

My husband gifted me this beautiful hand spun, hand dyed yarn 🧶 made from his aunt’s sheep. I have no idea what to make with it. It’s sport weight and each hank is about 200m. What would you make with it? I’m a crocheter. #crochetsky

Sat by the canal outside my house this evening and made some more progress on my latest #crochet project. Do you like working on your projects outside? I’m getting more used to it, still feels a bit…awkward if I’m to be honest. 🧶

Now back inside and about to call it the night (it’s 9pm 👵🏻😅).

A canal with parked small boats and lots of greenery around it, a cloudy sky above it and a hint of sun setting behind the clouds.

This cotton cowl was the first thing I finished when I started crocheting abt 5 yrs ago. It’s my own design, basically just v-stitches and granny rows. And sc blo for the border. I still remember how proud I was and tbh it looks pretty good, still wear it ☺️ #crochet 🧶
