So, the white toilet/bath wagon thingy will be an important part of our family life the next many months.
We start by tearing down kitchen, utility room and bathroom. Meaning, I might not bother you that often with new crochet posts, while all this is going on.
Kids are brave and have been really helpful packing boxes. I'm a little worried today, as it isn't easy to find an alternative place for the stove, plus the washing machine decided to die yesterday. We do have a fridge though - for now.
With a little luck, I'll have a hobby/yarn room, when all this is over.
And most importantly. I'll do my best to ensure, no yarn gets hurt during the house project :)

Hubby has been working on something for me these holidays with a lathe he set up. So yesterday, I had the pleasure to test a big handmade hook of mahogany. What a joy!
Then, how to hold the hook? And how to avoid pain, if you want to crochet a lot?
I'm currently working with a cellphone as hotspot, but it is very, very slow. So this is all you get from me this week. I'll go do some crochet instead of sitting in front of the computer CU - and have a nice weekend! :)
To celebrate the 1st anniversary of StoneGnome, the next pattern will be FREE for a couple of days. It should be released later this week. (Jfyi, it is not the heart shown here).
Some DIY pages have omitted a few details about splitting yarn. I've added these points to this guide.
Most of my week has been about the Textile Exhibition at Gudhjem Museum. Local crafters are showing their work. It is a show of weaving, felting, patchwork, knitting - and - crochet!
I needed a display for a couple of my crocheted necklaces. After playing around for a little while, I ended up with a display that is shaped like angel wings.
www.stonegnome.com is getting a new look. The old template had different issues, I wanted to solve. Hopefully the new one will give you a better experience. At least for mobile users, it should be an improvement.
I'll probably be working on fixing bugs the next week or two, but if you find any major issues, let me know anyway! Minor issues might disappear within these two weeks. If not, get in touch.
You can contact me here or on facebook.

What Inspires You?
I get inspired by a lot of different things. My 3½ year old boy often has great ideas. So do a lot of other crafty people around the world. One of the places, I collect inspiration, is Pinterest.Feel free to follow me there, if you like.
Have a nice weekend :)
I am now waiting for approval by their team. I didn't even know they were supposed to approve anything.
SO, what to do?!
I went to a Danish yarn exhibition today. There were yarn, yarn, patterns, tools and more yarn on display. And 50 workshops in 3½ days. 500 workshop seats all sold out!
