  • 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 🙌🏻 . Did you know you can find this pattern on Etsy? Check the link in my bio ❤️ . #crossstitch #crossstitchersofinstagram #crossstitching #crossstitcher #borduren #embroidery #yarnaddict #crafts #handmade #yarnmakesmehappy #handmadewithlove #subversivecrossstitch #harrypotter #christmas #muggle #hugsarehandmade #nerdwithyarn
  • This is what the mouse was painting! (Don’t tell him bit we all know that I made this wayyy back in 2018) . Oh by the way, you know that this is a free pattern right? It’s on my blog (link in bio), along with other free patterns 💚 . #crochetgirlgang #haken #crochet #virka #häklen #hekle #yarn #wol #crochetersofinstagram #instacrochet #crochetaddict #yarnaddict #crafts #handmade #yarnmakesmehappy #yarnaddiction #hugsarehandmade #nerdwithyarn #freepattern #mouse #linkinbio #muis

  • 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!) . #crochetgirlgang #haken #crochet #virka #häklen #hekle #yarn #wol #crochetersofinstagram #instacrochet #crochetaddict #yarnaddict #crafts #handmade #yarnmakesmehappy #yarnaddiction #hugsarehandmade #nerdwithyarn
  • 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) ❤️ . #reading #lezen #bookworm #boekenwurm #book #books #boek #boeken #nerdwithyarn #readthisbook #fiction #ireadforfun #thisisourstory #ashleyelston #yathriller #ya #thriller @bestofyabooks
  • Yum! After a morning full of classes, I could use a snack 🍩 . I have changes my Etsy shop to patterns only (a few handmade items remain but will be deleted soon) and changed my handmade items to my Facebook shop! This way Etsy is focussed on makers and Facebook is focussed on non-makers. So these cute donut keychains are only available in my Facebook shop (link is on my website). What do you think? Is that a good division? . #crochetgirlgang #haken #crochet #virka #häklen #hekle #yarn #wol #crochetersofinstagram #instacrochet #crochetaddict #yarnaddict #crafts #handmade #yarnmakesmehappy #yarnaddiction #hugsarehandmade #nerdwithyarn #keychain #etsyseller #etsyshop #facebookshop #donut #sleutelhanger
  • This picture includes two of the most important things in my life: books and crochet. There aren’t many things that mean more to me. . With books, I have always been able to escape to new worlds, and forget that I always have been the odd one in a group. I felt connected to heroes and heroines who struggle to find their place in the world. So reading has been a way for me to feel important, because all the heroes and heroines save the world in the end. While I was (and am) reading, nothing else existed except for the world in my head and the words on paper. That’s why I decided to start a Dutch insta account (@watlisaleest) about books: to share my love and feel connected to other booknerds. . Crochet has a whole other meaning for me. When I’m not reading, I’m having a hard time sitting still. This energy distracts me from what I am doing, like sitting in class or talking with friends. It makes me restless. When I found crochet, I found the solution! It’s a way to keep my hands busy and my mind focussed on the conversation, so I often bring something simple to crochet when meeting friends. With all the online classes at the moment, it is even possible for me to crochet while paying attention to the teacher! This focusses my brain and all the restless energy has an outlet 😊 also, crochet is cute. Look at these cacti! Did you know that you can actually buy the pattern for all four in my Etsy shop? . I know this was a long, pretty personal post. I just hope some of you can relate. Know that it is okay to be weird. If you like crochet, people will tend to look at you funny, but it’s a superpower that makes you unique! . #crochetgirlgang #haken #crochet #virka #häklen #hekle #yarn #wol #crochetersofinstagram #instacrochet #crochetaddict #yarnaddict #crafts #handmade #yarnmakesmehappy #yarnaddiction #hugsarehandmade #nerdwithyarn #books #reading #cacti #cactus #etsyseller #etsyshop #weirdisgood #unique
  • This WIP-Wednesday I am cheating a bit: since I have to prep for classes, I won’t work on a WIP today. So, take this picture of unfinished Jake the Dog (available in my Etsy shop!) instead 👌🏻🧶 . Also, for my Dutch followers: ik heb een nieuwe account, speciaal gericht op boeken! @watlisaleest geeft je een kijkje in mijn boekenkast. Voor blogs over boeken moet je nog steeds hier zijn, maar boekentips kun je vanaf nu ook op mijn andere account vinden! Tips om aan mijn lijstje toe te voegen zijn uiteraard ook welkom 📚 . #crochetgirlgang #haken #crochet #virka #häklen #hekle #yarn #wol #crochetersofinstagram #instacrochet #crochetaddict #yarnaddict #crafts #handmade #yarnmakesmehappy #yarnaddiction #hugsarehandmade #nerdwithyarn #jakethedog #wipwednesday #adventuretime #pincushion #speldenkussen
  • Remember when Iron Man says “Earth is closed today”? That is what 2020 feels like and it inspired me to combine this with the word ‘closed’ from my Jar of Ideas. New word: Friends (the tv show)! . I can’t wait to see what you will make with this new word, so keep it coming! ❤️ . #jarofideas #nerdwithyarn #art #creativity #kunst #creativiteit #earthisclosed #2020 #corona #covid19 #coronavirus #aliens #drawing #pencil #sketch
