noordermarkt rotterdam

Rotterdam - Saturday 15th of January - 10715 steps

Weekend!
We visited the Noordermarkt in Rotterdam Noord.
Made a citywalk.
The first day the shops opened up again after the lockdown, we only visited Kookpunt and bought a new cookbook, Comida Mexicana by Rosa Cienfuegos.
Thereafter we had a coffee to go at Hopper.
And found a lot of inspiration by walking through the streets of Rotterdam Noord.

new design - ribbed & striped beanie - crochet pattern

2021 and a brand new design, easy to make, cool, warm and unisex!

Last week i've made a colorful striped beanie with ribbed texture.

This week i've made another one with natural colors.

The striped beanie is very easy to make, the fabric looks like it's knitted but actually is an easy crochet technique.

You can download the pattern from my ETSY SHOP.

And since we are still in lockdown for a while, it might be a fun project to keep you from getting bored.

You don't need to buy new yarn, because this project is ideal for using up old scraps of wool.

PS for the non-crafters: the two ready-made striped beanies are also for sale

cold crisp day

We cycled to town for a coffee to go and pastel de nata at Nobel's Brood this morning.
On the first really cold and crisp day, warm wool mittens were no luxury on the bike.

The first handmade pairs of the diagonal striped mittens collection are ready. (only have to weave in the loose ends, the least fun part)

The black & white tweed yarn mittens, like the ones i'm wearing, and another antracite grey & white tweed yarn pair, are already for sale in my Etsy shop.

The rest of the tiny collection ready-made fingerless mittens, will be added soon.

I'm an addict of woolen winter accessories; throw in a beanie, mittens and scarf and i’m good to go. How about you?
