How To Crochet a Magic Loop
This summer, I was determined to keep knitting throughout the summer. I have to admit that it’s been hard for me to keep knitting. Almost every year, I seem to prefer crocheting instead when the weather gets warmer. The same thing happened this year. But I don’t see that as a failure. Knitting and crocheting are both such fun ways to be creative. But I have to say that I have so much more experience with knitting than crocheting. I have so much more to learn when it comes to different crocheting techniques. And when it comes to crocheting, I sometimes feel like I don’t really know what I don’t…

Knitting Project Bag Sewing Pattern
Knitting, knitting, knitting. It is such a wonderful thing! Knitting gives me so much joy and has the power to make any day a little bit more cozy and fun. I guess you are a little bit similar as you found this blog post. The downside of knitting, though, is the many unfinished knitting projects. I think there is no way to avoid having unfinished knitting projects lying around as a knitter. I really like to have at least two different ongoing knitting projects at all times. Usually, I like to have one simple knitting project with stockinette stitch for moments when I don’t want to think much about how…

FREE Bookmark Knitting Patterns
Summer is here, and as some people like to make New Years resolutions, I like to have some goals in mind when vacation is getting closer. It might seem a little counterproductive to have goals for the time when you are supposed to be resting, but for me, these last few years, since I became a mom, it’s not been that easy for me to find time to truly rest, so I have had to make strategies on how to utilize the time spent resting in a good way. One thing I try to limit as much as possible when rest is needed is scrolling. Even if it’s so easy…

Crochet Basket With Handles
Summer is in full bloom, and I am continuing on my challenge to not stop knitting and crocheting during this summer. These last couple of weeks, I have been crocheting a basket. As most times, I have gotten the inspiration from a few different crochet patterns. It’s hard for me to stick to one specific pattern as I always seem to have quite a specific idea in mind and don’t seem to find exactly the pattern I am looking for. Free Crochet Basket Patterns The first website I always go to to check for free knitting or crochet patterns is Drops Design. Here is a link to the patterns on…

Crochet Tote Bag – FREE Pattern
This last few weeks I have been crocheting a tote bag for the summer season. Crochet tote bags have a summery vibe and makes me think of relaxed days at the beach. I have never crocheted a tote bag before so this was really a new challenge for me. The yarn I used was quite thick so something really nice with this project was that it grew on the needle very fast. Crochet Tote Bag Patterns I started out following a crochet pattern I found on drops design. Here is the link to that pattern: https://www.garnstudio.com/pattern.php?id=7839&cid=17 When I had finished the bottom part I chose to crochet double crochet stitches…

Sunshine Coloring Pages – Summer 2026
I am surprised every year, as summer gets closer, by how popular free printable coloring pages still seem to be. In a world of AI and all kinds of tools, I remember reading somewhere a couple of years ago that no one would use traditional coloring pages anymore because you can so easily make your own. However, that doesn’t seem to be true yet, at least. Summer seems to be the season for coloring, and for many years in a row, this coloring page has popped up as one of our most popular posts on Pinterest. This year is no exception. This coloring page seem to be as popular as…

So, I you , like me usually stop knitting when summer comes, here come a challenge. Try a summer knitting project and let me know…

Motivational Wallpaper – Stop Scrolling – Summer Edition
Last year, I made a background for my phone that said Stop scrolling – do this instead with some images on activities that I could do instead of being on my phone. I remember it was during a season that I was really busy as a mom and I had to find some time every day to recharge. It is so easy to use the little time that we are given to spend as we wish on our phones. Stop Scrolling Motivational Wallpaper I think I need a reminder of not spending the few minutes I get in the evening when the kids are sleeping on my phone, so I…

Easter Knit – FREE Knitting Patterns
Easter is here, and I got in the mood to cast on something fun and fast for Easter week. As I had some yellow yarn in my yarn stash, I decided to start knitting yellow socks for our youngest child. Knitting for our children always makes a faster project, and lately, our children have been very happy when they realize that I am knitting for them. That has definitely not always been the case, especially since our son has been so upset with itchy yarns but lately, he as well has started to put in orders on things he would like me to knit for him. That is so nice!…
