Soft armwarmers – perfect for fall

updated on 28 October 201827 October 2018Leave a Comment on Soft armwarmers – perfect for fall

Since the weather is getting more like fall, I start to dread getting into the car in the morning. It’s not the cold car holding me back, because that is easily fixed by turning up the heat. It’s the cold steering wheel. For some reason, that never really gets warm while driving, even with the …

  • 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) ❤️
