Important Update

A Small Goodbye (for Now)

Hello everyone,

I wanted to take a moment to share a small update. Over the past years, this blog has been a quiet space where I could explore creativity, share my work, and connect with others who appreciate handmade art.

Life, however, has taken me in a different direction. After moving to a new country and going through some unexpected changes in my career, I’ve had to step away from blogging and my creative practice for a while.

Because of this, I won’t be continuing this blog in the near future.

That said, this is not a final goodbye to creativity. It’s simply a pause, and a shift.

If you’d like to stay connected and see what I’m working on next, you’re very welcome to follow me here:

• YouTube.

Thank you to everyone who visited, supported, or simply spent a moment here. It truly meant more than I ever said out loud.

Take care,

and see you somewhere else on the internet.

Triangle shawl - pineapple stitch (free pattern)

🧶 Crochet on the Go

Hello everyone, lately I’ve been travelling quite a lot by train, so I thought I might as well use that time for crocheting.

I had a few balls of wool in a natural colour and came across a free pattern for this beautiful lacy triangle shawl. It’s a variation of the popular pineapple stitch, which gives it that light, delicate look.

There’s a link to the free pattern in the description of my YouTube video, and you can also see the finished shawl in the video below.

One thing I didn’t expect — crocheting on public transport is actually a great way to meet new people.

Pink corset

💖Hello everyone, today I want to share something a bit different — a pink crochet corset I made recently.

This project actually started with a couple of very unusual balls of yarn. I had no idea what to do with them, and I couldn’t find any information about the brand. It honestly looked like it had spent a decade or more in someone’s attic.

The yarn was 100% cotton, good quality, not very thick, but extremely stiff. It had a mix of shiny and matte sections, and working with it felt a bit like crocheting with wire.

At first, I thought it would be better suited for something like a bag or a basket. But the soft pink colour, slightly shiny, felt too delicate for that. Then I found some pearl beads in almost the exact same shade, and that’s when the idea of making a corset appeared.

Corsets need structure and stiffness, so this yarn actually made perfect sense.

I used a simple but very effective stitch pattern that creates a 3D texture, helping the segments of the corset stand out more. I added a decorative edge at the bottom with the pearl beads and finished it with a pink chiffon lace.

You can see the result in the video below. I’m honestly very proud of how this project turned out.

I also found the same yarn in a bright green colour, but I’ve already started using it for a summer bag, so no second corset for now. Still, I really enjoyed working on this piece.

More and more bracelets

Hello. It's me again. I made a few more bracelets, to have matching accessories for my favourite sets of clothes.

One more to go. I started working on purple bracelet. Maybe I will also make something indigo, dark blue too.

I know these are very simple things, but I enjoy making them and even more I enjoy wearing them, they are perfect for summer, they look good with dresses, jeans, colourful tunics and with black.

Cause everything looks good with black, right?

Enjoy your weekend everyone and see you soon!

Malachite and metal beads bracelet

Hi!

Today something totally, totally different.

A simple bracelet, made of malachite and metal beads.

I just needed something matching my green linen summer dress.

I really like this type of bracelets, they are flexible and universal size, easy to wear and remove. I think I will make a few more in different colours and styles.

Rainy Dress, dyed at home

Hello.

I love white clothes. I love them as long as they remain clean and white.

But this state changes quickly. Usually first washing is enough to turn your snowy white dress or shirt into something that you want to throw away, especially if you are such clumsy being as myself. Accidents happen, you know.

However, this time it really wasn't my fault.

I got this pretty, delicate white summer dress some years ago. 

And this year I wanted to wear it, but I noticed it slightly changed colour. It wasn't white anymore, it had some weird brownish stains, which after washing turned grey.

I didn't want to throw the whole thing out, so I decided to experiment a little with cloth dyes. Well, I had nothing to lose.

You can see the result on the pictures below.

My summer dress, before and after

I know, the original white one was pretty, but I think the dyeing/painting effects are very interesting and I will be able to white the blue dress more often.

And that's all for today. Thank you for fisiting and see you soon!

Virus triangle shawls

Virus Shawl Obsession (and Two Finished Pieces)

A few years ago, the crochet world went through a phase where the “Virus” shawl pattern was everywhere. I kept seeing it over and over again, and something about that bold, textured, almost 3D structure really stayed with me. I always thought, one day I’ll try it.
Well… I finally did.
I made two triangular shawls using this pattern, both with high-quality wool yarn. They turned out exactly how I hoped—thick, warm, and pleasantly heavy. The purple one was a gift for a close friend, and I wanted it to feel truly special.
At the beginning, I had to focus carefully on counting stitches and rows (and yes, I made a few mistakes along the way). But once I found the rhythm, the process became smooth and surprisingly relaxing. There’s something deeply satisfying about working on larger pieces like this—you can really feel them grow in your hands.
The two shawls ended up quite different. The purple one is larger, heavier, and has a denser structure, while the cream one feels a bit lighter and softer. I honestly enjoyed making both of them equally.
I was also incredibly lucky to get my hands on such beautiful premium wool—it made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
I’m already thinking about using this pattern again for bigger projects, maybe a bed throw or even a winter poncho with a hood.
If you’d like to try the Virus pattern yourself, it’s widely available for free online. It’s not my design, but you can easily find charts on Pinterest and plenty of step-by-step tutorials on YouTube.
Highly recommended—just be prepared to get a little obsessed.
