new: summer gilet crochet pattern

New design: the SUMMER GILET!

Hello June! Recently I made a summer gilet. This time, however, not knitted but crocheted!

Again with a cool & classy shoulder detail, just like the oversized knitted waistcoat, but with a different twist!

And I wouldn't be woodwoolstool if I didn't also write a summer gilet crochet pattern for you.

The gilet is a super stylish item for the upcoming season. You can wear it over a summer dress, but also over a t-shirt or shirt. Just right when it's a little cooler, but you don't want to wear a cardigan or jacket.

Do you need this summer gilet in your wardrobe?!

You can download the crochet pattern in my ETSY SHOP. The new summer gilet crochet pattern is available in English and Dutch version, with easy to follow description, diagram, many photos and video.

For orders in the Netherlands you can also send an email to info@woodwoolstool.com and I will send you the crochet pattern directly with a 'tikkie' of € 4,00.

pantone 2 0 2 1 mittens

Pantone has chosen two shades for its Color of the Year 2021.

The bright yellow shade, called Illuminating, is meant to evoke the optimistic promise of a sunshine-filled day, while Ultimate Gray is a much quieter hue that speaks more of composure, steadiness and resilience.

PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray & PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating, two independent colors that highlight how different elements come together to support one another, best express the mood for Pantone Color of the Year 2021.

Practical and rock solid but at the same time warming and optimistic, the union of Ultimate Gray & Illuminating is one of strength and positivity. It is a story of color that encapsulates deeper feelings of thoughtfulness with the promise of something sunny and friendly.

A message of happiness supported by fortitude, the combination of grey & yellow is aspirational and gives us hope. We need to feel that everything is going to get brighter – this is essential to the human spirit.

I love this color combination and the idea behind it. So i decided to crochet a pair of fingerless mittens in the Pantone colors of the year 2021.

The diagonal striped pantone 2021 mittens are available in my ETSY SHOP now.

For over 20 years, Pantone’s Color of the Year has influenced product development and purchasing decisions in multiple industries, including fashion, home furnishings, and industrial design, as well as product packaging and graphic design.

Every Pantone Color of the Year from 2000 - 2020 is shown HERE.

new stuff

New stuff in my ETSY SHOP.

Twin harlequin pillows.

The pillows are offered per piece, but you obviously can also order both. And you can make them yourself as the pattern is available in my Etsy shop.

dressed identically

The prototype (my first woodwoolstool anno 2007) and the latest size cute mini stool, identically dressed.

I've made a new checkered cover for the prototype.

Photographed together for the occasion in front of the painting in our bedroom.

huge harlequin blanket pattern

The huge harlequin blanket is finally finished!

Most of the work was done in 2017 and I 'only' had to work all parts together to make it into a blanket.

I reworked the original harlequin pattern from June 2013, so you can choose whether you want to make the large or smaller version.

You can download the renewed huge harlequin blanket pattern from my Etsy shop.

With this extensive pattern of no less than 22 pages, you can make a huge harlequin blanket, but also a mini baby blanket and everything in between. The size of the blanket is very easily to enlarge or reduce.

The huge version is for enthusiastic and eager crochet queens and a smaller version is perfect to use all yarn leftovers.

Last night it was freezing cold on the attic and I took the blanket upstairs to put it over the duvet...

united colors

United colors of the 7th Cool Crochet Workshop edition at Chambers d'Amis.

Unpacking the huge wool bags from our stock and making a new workshop display is always a fun way to get started...

On the first workshop day, we make an introducing tour in the Medina, to show our guests the way. During this walk we always visit 'wool heaven' to expand the wool stock to everyone's wishes.

(above pictures are pre-woolheaven visit, no really)

beyond beautiful

Back home after 17 amazing days in and around Marrakech!

We had two terrific workshops with lots of adventures and wonderful women.
This is a photo report of the second day of the Cool Crochet workshop, when we went to the desert.
The light, changing skies and views were astonishing!
Project of the day; a crochet bikini top, what else?
Marika from Sweden won 'gold', she was the first to finish her bikini top in no time!

A desert day with a lot of fun, good food, drinks, music, fantasia and dancing in bikini tops ánd a whole lot of animals (horses, camels, scarabeo's and Ank's puppy Flip)

Altogether beyond beautiful!

PS: Lost my phone in Marrakech and unfortunately couldn't post on Instagram since the 12th of May. So i've been offline for a while (actually quite relaxing). My new iPhone is on it's way, so soon i will be back on social media.
