Birds

I love the new birdcollection from Ittala. The crochet bird I made a while ago.

Doll bed

Jack got my old doll bed today that my father made for me when I was a child, the blanket with the small "granny squares" is made by my grandmother for my mother... : )

Teapot cover

I´m a big fan of a cup of evening tea with a cake, watching a movie, crochet, enjoying the time with Kristofer...

Cushion

A cushion made in an other kind of granny squares...

Bag

Today we got a new ball to play with outside. Perfect to keep in the yellow crochet bag from "Väldigt Virkat".

Owen mitten

I´ve just finished this owen mitten for our little summerhouse which will be ready to live in this summer! : ) The pattern is from my book "Väldigt Virkat".

Crochet toys

I really love making toys for Jack and here is one I made almost one year ago when he was just a little baby. Also I made one more kit with some toys.

Summer workshops

New kit - classic potholders

One more kit in the family - classic potholders.

Our crochet ball

A very tired Jack is resting at his crochet ball in his tent. My mother made this ball for my sister in the seventies and then I got it and after that my sister´s kids and now it´s Jack´s... It´s not as round as it used to be but we love it anyway : )

Miniature furniture

I´ve got the miniature Josef Frank cushion that I bought at Tradera today and I love it in my miniature Arne Jacobsen sofa. The carpet is crochet, of course... : )

Napkin rings

My mother have made this wonderful napkin rings for me (in Erica Laurell Organic yarn of course). My mother really is the best! She's also crocheting a lot and has always been a big inspiration for me : ) The napkin rings looks as two crowns, one for the prince and one for the princess... : )

Summer workshops

I´m planning for some summer workshops in Bergianska Trädgården. There will be workshops both for youth and adults. If there´s any special requests please leave a comment and let me know.

Spring news in my webshop

My latest pattern booklet is now available in my webshop and since I got so many request for the "pastries kit" from Syfestivalen I will have it at my webshop. I´ve also made a kit with a hairband that I really like. : )

Crochet + drawings = true

Here is some illustrations mixed with crochet that me and Kristofer made for a friend who writes childrens stories, a while ago.
I´m always interested in using crochet in different ways.

The spring is comming and I´m sending out the last deliveries to shops. Also pictures from this week. Potholder workshop, a very nice display of my book "Väldigt Virkat" made by Karin Uggla and the premiere show for our network "Footsteps eco business group" at Sostockholm gallery.
