DIY: perfect round crochet circle

Image
EN    Perfect round crochet circles. Even though I myself don't believe in perfect-perfect (nothing is perfect) but when I crochet a circle and I want a big circle it will take a shape of a hexagon ⬡. Argh! R ecognizable? But don't fret, I have the solution here down below in this blogpost, plus! I'm also showing how to do a seamless join too. NL Perfecte ronde gehaakte cirkels. Perfectie bestaat natuurlijk niet (want niets is perfect) maar wanneer ik een cirkel haak, krijgt deze een vorm van een zeshoek. Argh! Herkenbaar nietwaar? Maar geen nood ik heb de oplossing hieronder in deze blogpost, plus! Ik laat ook zien hoe je een toer ontzichtbaar kunt sluiten.  ❝tap voor Nederlandse vertaling! ⬡⭘ Crocheting a circle is one of the beginners move in the crochetworld I believe.

TIY: Mindfulness Christmas Cards

Image
EN Yes! Finally a crafty post with not a DIY but a TIY : Try It Yourself . I came up with TIY because I feel like it has a much approachable feel for everybody, less pressure and non-committal. Either way, it's ok to see it as a DIY as well. So mindfulness. It can be anything from heavy therapy sessions to meditation or crafty activities hence this Christmas Cards making post. I used to make my own Christmas cards from scratch and send them to my loved ones. Nowadays I got no time for that. Too busy! Too busy yes, but you can still make your own personalized cards by 50/50 it: 1.  you buy a ready made card and 2.  you add your own touches to it! Ok, doesn't it feel some weight has gone off your shoulders already? Productive, creative in freedom here's how you do it. NL Ja! Eindelijk een knutsel post, geen DIY maar een TIY : Try It Yourself . Ik heb deze bedacht omdat het laagdrempelig aanvoelt, want je gaat iets vrijblijvend proberen. Maar je mag h...

Then I used this brand of cream cheese (only €0,65!) and it worked wonderfully I can assure you. You can of course use Philadelphia cream cheese or other more familiar cream cheeses. Melting time. My Japanese cotton cheesecake is sweetene...
