All Crochet Everything Else Knitting Self-Help Sewing Yoga

Crochet

22. June 2021 By Simone Neumann

Searching for the perfect yarn I shortly pondered if I should change the proverb into “two steps backwards and one step forward”, because I got near to nothing done this week (on the crafting side). You remember I was so excited about the hexagon crochet pattern I saw on Instagram and about my own design […]

The true power of Needlework

15. June 2021 By Simone Neumann

The true power of Needlework – calming down with Lisette blouse and Mezzo cardigan Last Monday we had a much-needed conversation about support and connection in the @needleworkmonday community and the respond to @crosheille’s wonderful post was overwhelmingly positive and understanding. We all planned to connect more with each other and to shift the focus […]

Dearing to wear Unfinished – a crochet shawl

24. November 2020 By Simone Neumann

Its Monday morning and after the fabulous Barbie contest I am still in a glow about all the creativity and skill in this community. But what’s going on with me? No Barbie clothes, no finished slipover…. Do I have nothing to show you? This would be a horrible situation. So, I took heart, sat down […]

I made a crochet chicken for Easter

14. April 2020 By Simone Neumann

I made a crochet chicken for Easter and it was a mistake Do you know this state of mind when the tiniest question from another person, a needle falling on the carpet, the ripping yarn or the long hair inside your shirt feels so annoying that you want to pretend to be ailed with the […]

Speaking about tension squares in crochet

31. March 2020 By Simone Neumann

Speaking about tension squares and my gargantuan urbanite cardigan. It’s #needleworkmonday and I am not finished with my Urbanite Cardigan. Instead of wallowing about my snail-like speed, I will use this unfinished crochet cardigan to reflect about tension. Do you make a tension square before you start a new project? I mostly do although my […]

One shawl is not enough

4. February 2020 By Simone Neumann

Last week I asked for your opinion which yarn I should use to crochet a granny square shawl and sorry, but not sorry, you were not of great help. I thought it’s always good to start a post with insulting the audience, especially when you are German and would love to use the German word […]

The confused crochet granny square shawl

28. January 2020 By Simone Neumann

How better to get instant gratification, bright colors and a fashionable garment than crocheting a granny square shawl with stash yarn. Follow me along on my search for the perfect pattern and color combination.

Non-existent yarn shops and a Christmas market

17. December 2019 By Simone Neumann

What a day… I was prepared like a pro. Backpack, several bags, my current knitting project, an apple and a water bottle – what could possibly go wrong?
Read on my #steemit or #Wordpress blog about me on the Christmas market, fighting the masses in search of a yarn store….

The most practical knitting and crochet cases

18. November 2019 By Simone Neumann

I am a squirrel. I have so many needles and hooks and stitch markers and stoppers and and and and. Like a good squirrel I hide them in our whole flat: under cushions in the living room, on my desk, next to my sewing machine (which is not so weird or?) but also on a […]
