I’m working on a new pattern called Adrian and making pillow covers with it at the moment. What are you working on? Love, Maud

My mother’s handwriting I wanted the words ‘Giving myself lots of grace + space to grieve’ in my Grace blanket to be in my mother’s handwriting. This is how I did it. I love it so much to see her handwriting on such a scale. So happy with the result! Look in the comments for more pictures.

I’m so happy that my pattern Grace is finding its way to the people who need it. Someone wrote to me: “I got a copy right away, my mom passed away almost 3 years ago and it still hurts so much, you have no idea how much this blanket means to me!” More in comment

My pattern Grace is not for everyone (right now), but it is perfect for everyone who is grieving a big loss. Please forward this message to everyone who you think should know about this pattern. I really want this one to find its audience. Thank you! 🙏🏼 Love, Maud

Today is the day I finally get to publish a new pattern again: Grace. When my mom died in August I got this amazing message from @jigeha.bsky.social: Hope you’re giving yourself lots of grace and space to grieve.

Day two of the #minsgame (get rid of 1 thing on day 1, 2 on day 2 etc) had me get rid of so much I could cross of 15 days… oops.

Maud Akkermans @maudcrochet.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

First day of the month. I want to play the minimalism game: get rid of 1 thing on day 1, 2 on day 2, 31 on day 31. Looking for my first thing to get rid of. This book, which is amazing, but thankfully isn’t for me anymore.

Today Patrick and I took photos and videos for my new blanket, the pattern of which will be released soon. This resulted in, among other things, this teaser that invited me to finally post here about something else. I've lost 30 kilos (aka 66 lbs)! More in comment.

I’ve started a version of Bejeweled. Some squares are bejeweled and some are not. Using a variegated yarn, which is lovely, but also so thin… #bejeweledblanket #mosaiccrochet #overlaymosaiccrochet

Crocheting the final stitches of my latest blanket Grace. The pattern is for everyone who - like me - is grieving a big loss. Designing and crocheting this one has been very good to me. Now the last stitches and getting rid of all the cat hair on it 😂 #gracemosaiccrochet #mosaiccrochet #grieve

Playing with colors is such fun because of the colors. But if you add the sound that is like a xylophone: magic! #playingwithcolors #everydaymagic #stylecraftyarns

Maud Akkermans @maudcrochet.bsky.social · 15/02/2025

I’ve selected the colors I want to use to crochet my next blanket: 52 colors of Stylecraft special DK for color B and Purple Smoke as color A. Can’t wait to start this one, but I have to restrain myself because I really have to finish my work in progress first. And release the pattern…

I finally made pegs of the twenty (!) new colors in Stylecraft Special DK. I love how these colors compliment the already 100 other colors and can’t wait to get to play with them. But first I need to finish my current WIP. #color #playingwithcolors #stylecraftspecialdk #mosaiccrochet

Closeup. Another picture of Bejeweled. In this picture you can see how using many colors of Stylecraft Special DK created a gradient. Link to pattern in my bio. #crochet #mosaiccrochet #bejeweledblanket

Another picture of the beautiful Bejeweled blanket. I used 47 colors in total: Burgundy for my color A and 46 different ones for my color B. I just love playing with colors! Pattern available through the links in my bio. #crochet #haken #mosaiccrochet

Bejeweled! This is what the finished blanket made with my pattern Bejeweled looks like. It was so much fun to crochet and I love the end result. The pattern is available on Ravelry and on Etsy. Link to both my shops in bio. #bejeweledblanket #mosaiccrochet

Maud Akkermans @maudcrochet.bsky.social · 09/02/2025

And then I was on my way for real with Bejeweled. Love the rich jewel tones and the pattern 🤩 #bejeweledblanket #mosaiccrochet #overlaymosaiccrochet #mosaiccrochetblanket #hakenisfun

This is what it looked like when I had frogged 132 rows of Bejeweled: 7 balls of yarn neatly alternating color A and color B. That made for very smooth crocheting the 132 rows the second time around… #bejeweledblanket #mosaiccrochet #mosaiccrochetblanket #overlaymosaiccrochetblanket

Maud Akkermans @maudcrochet.bsky.social · 06/02/2025

When I was crocheting Bejeweled I realized that a line was appearing that was not planned. So I frogged the whole thing, all 132 rows. It meant that I got to use each bit of yarn twice for one price 😂 (in Dutch: 2x lol van je bol 🤣) but it was pretty tough. Have you ever done this? #mosaiccrochet

My latest blanket is almost finished. Working on the border now; such an amazing way to get rid of all the loose ends. #mosaiccrochet #gracemosaiccrochet

Because sometimes you just have to see something nice. This is Pietertje (little Peter in Dutch) resting her head on my hand for the very first time after being a stray and a very scared cat for the first 8 years of her life. 🥰
