About

Crocheting started as a hobby for me about a year ago. But now it has become more than just a hobby and I decided to make it a part of my professional work as an artist. I’m a Dutch illustrator and painter and make vivid drawings and paintings, which each tell their own story. My work is humoristic and colourful. My crocheted dolls and animals are inspired by my drawings and I consider them the same style. I started crocheting animals by using patterns but after a while that wasn’t satisfying enough and I wanted to design my own amigurumi. At first with the help of patterns as an example and to learn from, till I had enough skills to make my own stuff. I decided that when my skills where good enough, I would launch a blog with pictures, patterns, tips, tricks and more, to share my amigurumi with the world. I hope you enjoy this blog! And oh, because I’m Dutch, my English probably is a bit scruffy. But I do want to write in English because worldwide just a few people speak Dutch and many people speak English, including  many Dutch people.
