New vibes

Posted on October 14, 2012 at 7:47am 2 Comments

I feel very inspired every fall. This time has been very busy for me: new ideas, new designs and lots of changes have come in also on my blog.

It has changed a lot since its' beginning in 2009. Now I've decided to make it more about myslef, not just crochet. It will still be a place where I show off my designs and patterns, and also a place where I share things, quotes and music that inspire me.…

Granny square revival ;D

Posted on May 10, 2012 at 6:04am 11 Comments

As I make mostly garments, I didn't think I will crochet granny squares any time soon... probably ever. But - then that idea struck me. I must make a garment including granny squares in it!

IMHO - if you're not ready for this pattern, choose easier one. That simple. Don't tell me you have…

This week at Eleven's

Posted on March 23, 2012 at 6:24am 2 Comments

I'm finally back at computer and can write about this week's events.The week has been very busy and it's just friday yet... Hoping to get a lot done during weekend.

 

As I previously mentioned - a major Latvian business newspaper interwieved me about my business. Actually it is first time (at least what I have noticed) that crochet is shown as a business in Latvia. It has always been seen as a hobby, and certainly not for young people. So I think it's a great step ahead. And…
