Learn how to make a nice Tunisian knit stitch increase at the left side (or right side, if you are left-handed).


I'm experimenting with mitered corners and have developed a way to do the left side increase without it being too tight and knotted.

Make a nice decoration for your bottle of water. Use it as nice touch or for more practical reasons.


Everybody brings a bottle of water at the fitness center or at a field trip. Some of the bottles look very much alike, and occasionally it can be difficult to find the right one.

Here is a pattern for a bottle decoration, that makes your bottle unique.

We have people digging in our garden. They hit the internet cable, so...


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! :)

Say hello to another happy member of the baby toy family. The Smiley Cloud.

Need boot cuffs - or just want to practice slip stitches? Use the boot cuffs as decoration, to stay warm or to give the boots a nice soft top.

A new pattern is out. A cute little Smiley Moon.


The Smiley Moon has actually existed for quite some time. Now it exists as a written pattern too. Find it at  Ravelry or as a package with 3 amigurumi patterns at LoveCrafts.

Wow. One year. A whole year with crocheting!


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).

There are many ways to crochet a cord or strap. With or without an eye. And more or less elegant, when it comes to hide and weave in the loose ends.


I like a method, where both yarn ends are easy to hide afterwards. Here is a tutorial of how to do that.

Ever thought about using (video) cassette tape for a crochet project? It is smooth and soft and got a distinct metallic color. Apparently, it isn't such a good idea though.
