At the first Dutch Comic Con in 2015, my friends wanted to buy a shirt at a stand. I didn’t feel like waiting in line with them, so I stayed behind at the pop-up store of The American Bookstore. And no, I was not sad about that. In fact, I saw some books that pulled …

  • Happy Easter! 🐰

How are you spending this long weekend? I am still celebrating my birthday with one visitor each day, and I have been reading a lot lately 🥰 but there has also been more time for crochet, cross stitch and more! 

Also, check my (Dutch) podcast about books: ‘Boekenclub: de Podcast’ 🥰

  • Who else is dying to go to a restaurant? 😩 it’s been over a year since I went out for dinner, and my second birthday in Covid-times is coming up. Last year we were hoping that everything would go back to normal after a few months, but here we are...

At least we have yarn to keep us company, right? Although these days I am more focussed on my podcast about books (Boekenclub: de Podcast on Spotify), but seeing this sushi makes me want to crochet again ❤️

Check out the pattern for this nigiri in my Etsy shop!

  • Guys, I know it’s been a while. I have been so busy with things other than yarn, there was no more time left for crochet and cross stitch! What have I been doing?
1. I started my premasters at uni, focussing on literature
2. I created a bookstagram (@watlisaleest ) and even a podcast (Boekenclub: de Podcast, listen in Dutch on Spotify or Apple Podcasts)😱
3. I started working in a bookstore

So you can see my life evolves around books at the moment! But winter is bringing back yarn-vibes and I am working on some cross stitch patterns for next year 🙌🏻

  • Currently I’m re-organizing my bookcase and it is kind of sad but also really great. 
Sad to see so many books go, but I never read them anyway. And I love how much nicer it looks now! There is still so much to do so that will be my weekend... What are your plans?
.
These bears are helping me to fill the void when all those books are gone... it’s gonna be empty and I’ll need lots of cuddles (and new books please!)

  • Okay, so you might have noticed that I am working on a Dutch book blog as well. Question: should I keep writing about books on @nerdwithyarn or should I focus on yarn and crafts?
.
By the way, if you like YA and thrillers you should read This Is Our Story by Ashley Elston. Read all about it on my website (link in bio) ❤️
