Christmas is over, New Year's Eve modestly celebrated, so: Hello January! After a long Corona year in which we were home a lot, we are unfortunately still at home for the most part of this first month the New Year. The end of the lockdowns is hopefully in sight, but for now we have to bite the bullet. So, no weekends trips, no dinners in restaurants and no socialising with a group of friends, for the foreseeable future.

Well begun is half done, so in the first week of the year we head straight to work and stow away all the Christmas decorations, followed by a deep-clean. Oops, suddenly the living room looks very empty! These new Nordic inspired crocheted home deco designs by Mariska from Handmadejolie is just what you need to add a touch of comfort and cosiness. And the best part is: you don't have to travel all the way to Sweden for this inspiration! With these patterns you can crochet these stylish creations in beautiful natural tones yourself. A relaxing and satisfying way to start this new year.
