Crocheting and then some...

So real life took over and I had a lot of stuff going on. All taking care of and back to the things I love most (besides my kids and my pets).
I have several projects going on both knitting and crocheting. Some of them are just "dying" to get done. You know..assemblied one way or the other ,weaving in ends etc...So that is my goal for tomorrow, after cleaning my ferrets cages ,changing their bedsheets and so on.

I did ,however, take my time to sign up for several online classes at Craftsy .
One of the classes is Tunisian Crochet taught by Jennifer Hansen aka Stitchdiva .

Tunisian crochet is so much fun. Here is a picture of a multicolored spa cloth I made,one of the patterns you get when you sign up for the class..

I got so inspired by that project I decided to make a cardigan for my mother as a birthday present. The pattern for the cardigan is from a book on Tunisian Crochet I bought.
You can buy the book here  and the patterns is called Tranquil Escape.

I am a bit behind schedule though. At least it feels like it. Still need to chrochet a little over 1/2 a cardigan and her b-day is this Thursday.

So far it looks like this

Thank you for stopping by :)

About

So..this is going to be my first post as a blogger.
This blog will mainly be about my two main craft hobbies. Knitting and crocheting.

I've been knitting ever since I was a kid  on and off. Mostly off .Life always seemed to get in the way or I got bored with whatever project I was on. Until I started having more than one project running at the same time.
At that time I started learning the US terms of knitting. I love US and UK patterns.

I recently discovered crocheting. Not that I didn't know about it, but it never really "spoke" to me as something I would enjoy doing. Boy was I wrong!

One day I decided I would knit a beanie for kids. Problem was, I couldn't really find any knitting patterns I liked in danish, so I started looking at crocheting patterns, still in danish. I found one I kinda liked and started looking at the basics of crocheting. And I had so much fun doing it and that was when I got hooked.

I wasn't quite happy with the pattern and started searching for patterns in english. I quickly found a whole bunch of patterns I liked and started learning the terms in english (US).

At some point I came across Craftsy and in one of their newsletters, I could sign up with a discount for one of their  online classes and so I did.

Now I'm hooked on crocheting and discovering Craftsy actually made my passion for knitting come back. At this point I'm signed up for 5 classes and I'm not done signing up yet.
