Flauscheinhorn goes Youtube! Anleitung für einen Einhorn-Schlüsselanhänger

Es ist so weit. Die ganze Woche habe ich fieberhaft daran gearbeitet, meine erste Video-Anleitung fertig zu stellen. Jetzt ist sie endlich auf Youtube hochgeladen. Sie ist nicht perfekt – wahrscheinlich habe ich alle Anfängerfehler mitgenommen, die man so machen kann. Aber für einen ersten Versuch kann sie sich in meinen Augen schon sehen lassen. Auslöser für mein neues Engagement im Bereich Video waren übrigens eure Kommentare, also danke ich euch noch einmal für diesen Anstupser! Das erste Anleitungsvideo auf meinem Kanal zeigt, wie du dir einen Einhorn-Schlüsselanhänger häkelst. Die ganz neu überarbeitete schriftliche Version des Tutorials findest du hier. …

Charity: This little Poirpoise helps to protect his fellows in my hometown

Since a couple of years the poirpoises are returning to my hometown Hamburg. Yes, it is true. Hamburg not only has a wonderful beach, but there are also little wales swimming swiftly at the horizon. Isn’t that idyllic? Well, lets see. The horizon is as charming as it can be in an industrial harbour and there are huge containerships crossing. For the marine mammals that means a lot of noise and of course it is very dangerous. Each year there are increasingly high numbers of wounded or even dead wales found at the beach. So why do they return into …

Family Porträt

I am writing this blog on this domain for half a year by now. I guess it is time to show you my face. Apart from that, what else could one do than taking family pictures when the weather is grey as it is today on a holiday? However, this is what we did and now I want to let you sneak into our family album: Me and the three baby unicorns. Right you are, the pose is covered from Game of Thrones – Mother of Unicorns is going to get the power! And here is the whole family. Unicornzilla …

Free Crochet Pattern: Sally Bowles Doll

When I started my dancing lessons at the age of five, my teacher was just planning a performance she called „Once upon a time in Hollywood“. It was full of Cabaret, Cancan and Americans in Paris. It was back then when I first met Marilyn Monroe, Josephine Baker and Liza Minelli as Sally Bowles. Of course those were the roles for the teens and grown ups. I myself acted as a so called „Mini Girl“ dancing my very first Charleston. Well, from those days on, I did never again lose the interest in the age of the roaring twenties. Today …

Free Crochet Pattern: Mermaid

I’ve been trying out some ideas lately, because I desperately wanted to design a crochet doll. Actually, I wanted to do a doll version of Ranja, the Robber’s daughter and I really worked out a prototype. But then, however, I was not happy with her head and suddenly I was sitting in the middle of a bunch of crochet heads, each one worked with a slightly different pattern. Some of them were really quite good and so I did not want to undo them again. In the end, without really knowing how, I had created a merman. I was not …

Link-Tipp: Fluffy the Unicorn

As I know many bloggers are, I am a bit obsessed with my blog statistics. It is just too interesting to see, what leeds you to this blog. A very regular keyterm is „Unicorn Minions“. Well, you do find a Unicorn pattern on my blog and there is a pattern for Stuart, the Minion. But you will not find the Unicorn which Agnes wins in the very first „Despicable me“ movie. That just wouldn’t be my style of amigurumi, I fear. But to help those of you who are desperately searching for „Fluffy“ the Unicorn, I have a link-tipp. On …

Free Crochet Pattern: Another Sherlock Holmes Hat for Babies

I guess, every young mum thinks her baby is groing incredibly fast. But, in my case this is actually really true and the Sherlock Holmes style hat I crocheted for him for Christmas is already too small. So I restarted crocheting a bigger hat. This time I wanted a really Sherlock-ish hat with long ear covers and two brims and everything. Actually, I really like how it turned out and hope so do you. For babies from 6 months on you’ll need: 100g of mercerised brown or grey cotton dk yarn. I used drops muskat, which is 100m on 50g. …
