Spoonie from the Netherlands. As a triple stitcher I crochet, knit and Tunisian crochet and started designing too.

I'm thrilled to introduce my new Tunisian crochet design that will tempt you into “just two more rows” until you're finished with a feeling of coming home.

(1/) The #UnfreeMAL is over, and was so successful! On the knit pattern side, 48 people bought the pattern for a total of $317 in sales. I had planned to donate the proceeds, about $270, but decided to make my own contribution adding back in the money lost to transaction fees.

I’m making the Creatief Kerchief by @solace-in-stitches.bsky.social from this Spring’s issue of Knitty.
My favorite short hook Tunisian tip is to use a foam stitch stopper at the end of the hook. Stays put better than a hair elastic, and it looks tidier.

Creatief (pron. kree-A-tief) means "to create" in Dutch. The Creatief Kerchief invites you to make your own Tunisian crochet piece, play ith yarn colors and make it your own. Once done, get creative with all the ways to style it! Which way would you wear it?

First rows on my shawl for the #UnfreeMAL by @stitch-theory.bsky.social made. I mostly avoid cables in my projects, but these are so gorgeous to the eye I couldn't resist. Tip from an #InclusiveYarnCommunity member was to use stitch markers for cables and they are making cables fun. 🧶💜 #knitsky
