How to construct a knitted or crocheted cardigan 1
11. June 2018
Last Monday on steemit I promised you a pattern, the pattern of a top-down crocheted baby jacket. And guess what, I do not find my notes anymore (that’s a lie: I found my notes, but they are horrendous incomplete and as if this wasn’t embarrassing enough, I cannot find my photos of the finished jacket.

5 Dinge die bei Migräne unterstützen, wenn sonst nichts hilft…
11. August 2017

Triptane bleiben wirkungslos, Prophylaxe greift nicht und normale Schmerzmittel helfen nur so viel, dass ich mir den Kopf nicht direkt abschneide. Die Migräne bleibt und dass seit vielen Jahren.

How to dye wool – the cheapest version
