My d’Histoire Naturelle: Herbarium
I am using the Stone Washed Herbarium colorway to make my blanket. Today the first teeny tiny part of the blanket. Here is my little flower.
Next week we start with part 1 for real, see you then!
With love,

It's all in a Nutshell Crochet 
Op mijn vraag of er mensen zijn die deze CAL ook in katoen gaan maken (ivm allergie) kreeg ik in de Scheepjes FB-groep hele nare reacties. Ik ben zeurderig en klagerig, moest het gewoon zelf uitzoeken want men zag het probleem niet.
Ik had graag onder jouw leiding mee willen haken maar door de vervelende reacties is mijn motivatie verdwenen, helaas.
Veel succes!

dat begrijp ik. mensen zijn soms gemeen, nergens voor nodig. ❤
Er is echt niets dat je let om de mooiste katoendraad te pakken dat je kunt vinden en volgende week deel 1 te haken, dat is een mooi vierkantje. Dan kun je kijken of je verder wilt of niet. Dat vierkantje kan ook een onderdeel worden van iets anders als je toch niet verder wilt. 🙂

Hoop dat u gewoon meedoet! Ik heb n.l. ook ander garen, zorg er wel voor dat mijn haaknaald voor dit garen correct is. Mijn deken zal er wel iets groter door worden, maar dat vind ik niet erg. Het is het plezier van haken. Nieuwe dingen uitvinden, en met de uitleg -video’s van Esther op deze pagina kan iedereen dit doen!.

That makes me sad. I ordered the kit for this one knowing I would learn alot. I never expected that there would NOT be US videos. (I also know its alot of extra work for you.) I will watch the UK videos and hope for the best. Thank you.

This is brilliant, thank you so much! I’m really a knitter and haven’t done much crochet so far, and only in German. I ordered this kit on a whim because that blanket is just so spectacular. I was quite intimidated when I checked out the written material today, but now that I’ve seen your video, I’m confident I can do it, and enjoy myself very much in the process!

I was so happy to see you in the youtubes this morning. I got the Herbarium cotton kit which is soooo beautiful and I didn’t start there, because, well, I was so happy with the Scheepjes to begin with. The colors and the soft quality. Just gorgeous. I crocheted to YOU and noticed you are using the English terms, so for us treble is double and so on. But Esther, this is where your hands come in, you see? Because all I had to do was to watch you! Oh I have just used the colors Alphen and Dordrecht, I am in love with these colors. So, I will blog later. Making the kit with you is going to be a highlight for me. First CAL ever, and I had seen all of yours, almost doing them! Thank you, so. No one will go wrong, because we all have YOU!

It looks beautiful, just like yours. I knew you would make this perfect for all of us. I hope you don’t mind that I linked your first video of it, because I am writing about it. Esther, thank you. If only you knew how beautiful your videos “look” but at the same time, how easy you make it seem. I know what stitches you are making, so the terms are not a problem. I am just watching your hands.
