Spoonie from the Netherlands. As a triple stitcher I crochet, knit and Tunisian crochet and started designing too.

Two Of Us is a shallow triangular shawl design. Its size is easily customizable, the 3 samples range from small to large. And it allows you to make the most of your available yarn!

I'm thrilled to introduce my new Tunisian crochet design that will tempt you into “just two more rows” until you're finished with a feeling of coming home.

Purple already had my heart, these cables are stealing a spot as well.

Creatief (pron. kree-A-tief) means "to create" in Dutch. The Creatief Kerchief invites you to make your own Tunisian crochet piece, play ith yarn colors and make it your own. Once done, get creative with all the ways to style it! Which way would you wear it?

First rows on my shawl for the #UnfreeMAL by @stitch-theory.bsky.social made. I mostly avoid cables in my projects, but these are so gorgeous to the eye I couldn't resist. Tip from an #InclusiveYarnCommunity member was to use stitch markers for cables and they are making cables fun. 🧶💜 #knitsky

🔥 Hot Right Now 🔥

Never in my wildest dreams did I think Creatief Kerchief, my newest Tunisian crochet design, would be a hit on Ravelry. Since last Tuesday, this little scarf has seen a lot of love. It's been in the top 5 of Hot Right Now crochet patterns.
