Coincidentally, today is our wedding aniversary. Our tables were not numbered, but decorated with centerpieces after our favourite fandoms. Not pictured, but our cake topper featured the symbol of the Horde from World of Warcraft, as this is how we met.

I think I got bitten by the Amigurumi Bug. Probably not my best idea to go for Pokémon, because: Gotta catch them all! (oh dear...) So much to learn here. 🧶 #crochet #häkeln #handmade #amigurumi #pokemon #squirtle #schiggy #crochetart #crochetartist #yarn #fiber #fiberarts #fiberartist #crochetsky

Part 9 of How to wear your shawl and the last one. At least until I learn new techniques in shawl wrapping. 🧶😅 Fold the shawl in half and lay it across the back of your neck. Tug the ends through the loop and arrange to your liking. #crochet #howtowearyourshawl #häkeln #howto #crochetshawl #shawl

This weeks' #CrochetAway prompt is something yellow. Well - I already shared my yellow stuff recently, so here is something that at least contains yellow. Pattern: Klaziena Shawl by Kirsten Bishop Yarn: Hobbii Twister in Tropical Art Deco 🧶 #crochet #handmade #crochetsky #Crochet #yarn #häkeln

Part 8 of How to wear your shawl. This one became my favourite this past winter. 🧶 #crochet #howtowearyourshawl #häkeln #howto #crochetshawl #shawl #crochetsky

Part 7 of How to wear your shawl. Wrapped around your hips as a pareo at the beach or swimmingpool. Probably works best with a shawl made from Cotton or Cotton/Polyacryl blend and not wool. 😊 🧶 #crochet #howtowearyourshawl #häkeln #howto #crochetshawl #shawl #crochetsky

Part 6 of How to wear your shawl. Tying and wrapping into a Hood. Now, that is actually really practical for those chilly winterdays when you forgot to bring a hat. Or to cover that little bit of exposed neck from the wind. 🧶 #crochet #howtowearyourshawl #häkeln #crochetshawl #shawl #crochetsky

Part 5 of How to wear your shawl. Tying into a bolero by pulling the ends under your arms and tying in the back. My body is too wide to cross the ends in front, but I can tye the ends in the back, a bit like an apron. 🧶 #crochet #howtowearyourshawl #häkeln #howto #crochetshawl #shawl #crochetsky

Part 4 of How to wear your shawl. Crossing the ends over the bust and tied in the back. See second picture for the back, you could pull down the shawl a bit to hide the knot. 🧶 #crochet #howtowearyourshawl #häkeln #howto #crochetshawl #shawl #crochetsky

Question for #crochetsky: has anyone ever ordered yarn from LindeHobby? Are they legit 👀? (reposts for visibility appreciated!) lindehobby.com #crochet #fiberart #fiberartist #yarn #Denmark

Part 3 of How to wear your shawl. Bandit-Style, my favourite. Tip in front, the ends crossed behind your neck. Effortlessly thrown on and comfy. 🧶 #crochet #howtowearyourshawl #häkeln #howto #crochetshawl #shawl #crochetsky #Crochet

Part 2 of How to wear your shawl. Pin one end to your shoulder to help keeping the shawl in place. You can use a specifically made shawl pin, a brooch... or some hairaccessories like a barrette or hairpin. I really like the latter! 🧶 #crochet #howtowearyourshawl #häkeln #howto #crochetshawl #shawl

Part 1 of How to wear your shawl. The simplest of the simple. Drape the shawl around you and toss one of the ends dramatically over your shoulder. I personally love the dramatic toss - It makes me feel like a diva of old times. 🧶 #crochet #howtowearyourshawl #häkeln #howto #crochetshawl #shawl

Made a little surprise for my husband yesterday, as he loves Pokemon. Fun project, great happiness! 😍 Pattern: Pokeball Plushy by Erin Sharp Yarn: Katia Capri + Schachenmayr Catania 🧶 #crochet #häkeln #handmade #amigurumi #pokemon #pokeball #fiberarts

My favourite pattern to use up those pesky scraps. 🧶I needed a small in-between project and this was perfect. Love how it turned out! Pattern: Sock Tex by Elvee Dickinson Yarn: Hobbii Black Friday Sock and City Wool Scraps #crochet #Crochet #häkeln #crochetsky #fiberart

This weeks' #CrochetAway theme is bulky, super bulky, or just generally chunky yarn. Last week I told you about my surprise yarnboxes. These two scarfs were results of my experiments with those. No specific pattern followed. Yarns: Scheepjes Namaste, Schachenmayr Brazilia 🧶 #crochet #crochetsky

Eurovision week is about to start. Not only is it in my home country, it's in my homecity. 🤩😍 Watching "Eurovision - The Story of Fire Saga" to get even more into the mood. It's hilarious and the songs are great. ❤️ #eurovision #esc youtube.com/watch?v=BT9T...

Finished yesterday. 🤩 A wonderful pattern with an almost architectural structure. It's made from a whooping 1750m/350g 3ply yarn. Pattern: Lucky moments by Julita Janicka Yarn: Bobbelscheune 3ply 🧶 #crochet #häkeln #handmade #crochetshawl #shawl #gradient #gradientyarn #fiberarts #fiberartist

This weeks' #CrochetAway prompt is yarn haul. When I first started to crochet I knew nothing about yarn, yarn weight, fiber... Hell, I didn't even know what kind of yarn I liked! I was too intimidated to go to a yarn store. And then I found this small one-woman online shop in my country. 🧶 1/4

The Shroomies and I just came back from a little photoshoot in the garden. Pattern: Mushroom Guy by Critter Stitch Yarn: Katia Capri (Mini-Shroom), Katia Bambi (Maxi-Shroom) 🧶 #crochet #crochetart #crochetartist #amigurumi #häkeln #handmade #mushroomguy #yarn #fiber #fiberarts #crochetsky

Throwback to a little limited sticker design that I added as gifts to orders last year. Maybe I’ll bring it back at some point because I actually still really like it. :)

I adore Wil Wheaton and I can highly recommend his Storytime Podcast. Perfect listening while I crochet! Go give it a listen if you haven't already. Essentially, he is reading a different short story to you every week and it's fabulous. 🤩

This weeks' #CrochetAway theme is something silly. When I first saw this, it made me laugh out loud and I wanted to make it just for giggles. Pattern: Crochet Starsuit by ShesHookeddesigns 🧶 #crochet #Crochet #häkeln #handmade #starsuit #crochetsky

Week 13 of #CrochetAway, the crochet game prompt inspired by #ShowMeYourKnits Show me something silly! Anything that makes you smile and brings out your inner kid Purrger, the cat burger will always hold a special silly place in my heart 💙 🧶

Another one for #CrochetAway with the theme neckwear #cowls #scarfs etc. I'm still not a cowl-person, but I very much like the yarn and how it pooled. Pattern: Aspen Chroma Cowl by De Householder Yarn: Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock Multi in colour Huron 🧶 #crochet #häkeln #handmade #yarn #fiberarts

🧶NEW PATTERN🧶 Draconic Dice is now available and comes with beginner friendly tutorials. This is the first in my fantasy series to there will be more companion pieces to come! gerritses.etsy.com/listing/4295... ravel.me/draconic-dice #crochet #dnd #dragon #d&d #dungeonsanddragons #crochetsky

#CrochetAway theme this week is neckwear. #cowls #scarfs etc. This is a Moebius Cowl made from a beautiful Merino/Silk Skein from the 2024 Kickstarter #make100 Campaign by Jaine from Skye Silks. Bonus: It doubles as a headwrap. 🧶 #crochet #Crochet #crochetsky #handmade

Need a new bookmark? I got you covered! ✨ Choose from 12 different original illustrations, printed on lightly textured fine arts paper with a velvety semi-gloss finish. All my bookmarks are lovingly homemade~ b17fcc.myshopify.com/collections/... #bookmarks #bookworm #originalart #fantasy #nature

I finished the pair of Mittens. I'm a tad disappointed by the yarn; the colour started out super vibrant and became muted throughout the same skein. Pattern: Wyverns & Witchlings by Pretty Twisted Knots Yarn: Hobbii Dream Colour in Golden Glow 🧶 #crochet #Crochet #häkeln #fiberarts

This weeks' #CrochetAway theme is sweaters/tops. Garments are my nemesiseses (bonus if you get that reference 🤣). That one I made for a themed party and wore it. Pattern: Lotus Mandala Duster by Morale Fiber Yarn: Hobbii Twister Halloween in Fright Night 🧶 #crochet #häkeln #Crochet #crochetsky

I made a functional thing today, an Armrest Cover for my husband to protect his elbows. It's essentially just a rectangle in single crochets with an elastic threaded through. Yarn used is Katia Bambi, a bulky velvet yarn. 🧶 #crochet #funcionalcrochet #armrestcover #fiberarts #handmade #gamer

A Newsboy hat made from recycled jeans cotton yarn, with an actual Jeans Button as an accent. (no sewing! 😅) Pattern: Finley Newsboy Hat by Justine Walley (AlyseCrochet) Yarn: Save the Yarn Recycled Jeans Baumwolle 🧶 #crochet #crochetsky #Crochet #häkeln #handmade #crochethat #yarn #fiberarts

Yesterday I spent the majority of my day waiting in waiting rooms. My yarn and hook kept me occupied with a pattern I can do almost by heart. #wipwednesday Pattern: Wyverns & Witchlings by Pretty Twisted Knots Yarn: Hobbii Dreamcolour in Golden Glow 🧶 #crochet #Crochet #crochetsky #handmade
