Fluffy Clouds Blanket vs Cherry Blossom Blanket
| September 6, 2019 | Filled under Patterns |
Surprisingly, my first blanket I crocheted for the baby girl of our friends in 2010 is still a bestseller (second place is Dream Catcher blanket). I received many requests to do this blanket easy adjustable to any sizes up to king size.
So, Cherry Blossom blanket pattern was born.
⠀
Now I get questions: what is the difference between Fluffy Clouds and Cherry Blossom blankets?
The answer is bellow 😉:
Have a lovely and fantastic weekend!! 🥰😘🥰

3 Reasons For Testing Patterns by Myself
| August 26, 2019 | Filled under Creations |
3 reasons why I like to test my patterns by myself:
➀ Double check that nothing is missed
➁ One more time enjoy stitch diagrams 😊
➂ I almost always get a new design… well, now you know why my patterns pretty often have 2 or 3 design-options 😉
⠀
So, let me introduce another version of Raffia bag – Lime Cross Body & Shoulder bag 2 in 1.
