This week the schools started and everything seems to be normal again. Work, school, sports, planning and less time to crochet..
Days are shortening and slowly we are heading towards autumn. I love the summer and the holidays but I also love the darker days, the time we can make home more cosy. Candles, fire place and cuddle up under a crocheted blanket. I love it.
After finishing my Mozambique square blanket I felt I needed some new projects. Although I’ve many projects waiting to be finished and I’ve lots of yarn stored in my house I wanted to visit a shop near my house to buy some new yarn.
So last Saturday I went to the nice centre of Medemblik and paid a visit to the Haakvrouw (translation: Crochetlady).
I loved browsing around in the shop all by myself and selected a nice couple of skeins for 2 projects.
I bought these three nice colors (3 skeins each) for a pillowcase for our new couch. I’m started straight away and my pattern is based on Henry’s blanket (Littlemonkeycrochet).
