Dada Neon CAL Part 2
My Dada Neon CAL project is finally almost done! It took me much longer than I had thought due to a very busy summer working for our condiment business.

Freeform Crochet: Single Crochet Spiral
In my post Freeform Crochet Basics Part 4 I mention the single crochet spiral. It is so easy to make, it didn’t even occur to me to talk about it until a reader asked about it …

Freeform CAL by Dada Neon
I have a day off! I can do anything I want. Wow! My husband went to Estonia and I’m home alone! It’s the last day of the long Midsummer weekend here in Finland. (Yes, I’m in Finland again. For the summer.) After taking a quick glance at my various projects, writings, photo editings and…

Spring Twigs
Take a walk into nature and bring home a bunch of twigs or branches! Any branches will do. From deciduous trees, bushes, or shrubs! My favorites are birch trees, apple trees, and branches of wild blueberry plants. Place them in a container with water. In a few days they will sprout sweet, new leaves! Branches…

Crochet Ornaments
Free the bauble! After making a dozen of the sweet, traditional, crocheted Christmas balls, my mind refused to follow the patterns. My plan was to create a pattern for a big ball in the traditional style. It just didn’t happen. I freeformed it instead.

Granny Square Shrug
Three and a half odd skeins of different purple yarns. What to do? I wanted to use them to make something for myself because I love the colors, but I didn’t have enough for any bigger project. A novel idea in itself! I don’t even know when I last made something for myself … (Oh, last…
