Today I was asked to write about my hobby (as part of my job). Initially, I felt I had no hobby and nothing to write, but then I came up with this. *** I am a lazy person. A super lazy person. In free time, I prefer to just lay down, close my eyes and…

Cardigan vs shawl
I’ve crocheted 3 cardigans and 1 shawl so far. As I am finishing about to the 4th cardigan, and looking at my yarn stock to start another project in parallel. I decided to use the left over 3ply yarn for doing a diamond stitch. I started to wonder again – what should I do: cardigan…
