I do not feel happy when I feel cold. If you know me, the most frequently said phrase of mine, you can confirm, is: 'I don't do cold! The minute I get a cold nose, I get grumpy... ' Don't ask me why, I just am. That is how it is. HOWEVER As always, there is a clause... I want to dedicate this post to a trip I completed recently, which negates the above statement and brings a little bit of nuance to me and my experiences and to my tolerance for distress... One of my friends, who is a total outdoor admirer says something that maybe, just maybe, made me think a…

To see the proper development and to trace the actual story of these blankets, and if you really truly feel like reading a few more blog posts... Read first HERE in Phenomenological Pondering, then HERE in Utilitarian Utopia. When I sold the first blanket, i had great interest and people ordered more. Two more. Maybe three. I cannot remember this fact exactly, as it was over a year ago that that happened. Sometimes it is difficult to remember yesterday.... Full disclosure: I am writing this post last minute (well a week before it is out - which is super last minute for me). My initial plan was to have the fourth finished and…

Today, for the new year, i am presenting my oldest video work EVER! And whyever not... Happy New Year everyone! Hopefully you have made it through 2021 with whatever you needed most.

I know, it happened a very very VERY looooong time ago, but still.... Onto my YouTube channel they consequently went as the result of this realisation!

How crochet travels! Crochet in the woods. This month's post is a continuation of my Crochet on the beach story, which you can read in gloriously full detail HERE: https://thecreativehook.com/yours-yarnly After i took the above blankets to the beach, i wanted to see them in the woods. To see how crochet blankets look in a different location, in a new setting. Maybe, also, to see if crochet in the woods would work at all?! By the time i organized this trip/ art installation, there was 10 blankets made by me in existence, and with a limited space in the car, i decided to take four (4) which have not been made when YOURS…

yesterday’s yearnings – yearly yonder The weather in the UK has not been following last year's anomalous hotness... Am i surprised? Not really. But, when i started thinking about this post a little while ago, it was looking promising, with few days here and there bringing us temperatures warranting light jackets, if any outerwear at all... I nearly put my woolly wonders away, before i realised how perfect they are for this exact time in the year.... Crochet blankets are exactly the perfect spring/ summer outdoorsy attire – for evenings especially in the UK.  Whether you are sitting outside after a barbeque of an evening, in your garden, or gathered by a campfire,…
