With clear step-by-step instructions, photos, and QR-linked video tutorials for each design, patterns level up as you explore, culminating in epic “boss” makes. Then, play with your crochet in Battle Goomis! A fast-paced 2 – 4 player showdown where teams of crafty Goomis clash in a race to victory!

I am so excited to share that my book with Penguin Random House is finally available for pre-order! The Travelling Sketcher: City - is out worldwide in July. There will also be a Spanish version publishing in September. This book has been a year in the process - written and illustrated across different countries! I have poured so much love into this book and I hope it can be a source of inspiration for all of you creative people out there, looking to learn more about drawing on location. Inside the book you will start by learning the illustration fundamentals such as colour theory, composition and perspective; then there will be a deep dive into every subject you would find in a city: architecture, people, transport and much more! For each subject you will have step-by-step tutorials so you have all the skills to confidently draw on location in a city. Even you aren’t travelling or the weather isn’t great for drawing, the book also guides you through fun activities to do from home, including creating your own travel post cards. Behind the scenes of creating this book, I spent a lot of time in and out of hospital. No matter where I was, this book was always the thing that kept my spark going. So I really hope you enjoy reading this book as much as it meant to me to create it ❤️ I want to mention a massive thank you to the team at Penguin Random House for reaching out with this exciting project and especially Harriet and Issy who supported me throughout the process. Along with @nicandlou design team who have done an amazing job! Another thank you to the support from everyone close to me and from this amazing artistic community that I am so grateful for. You can pre-order now to secure your copy with the link in my profile. I am so excited to be able to see it in person soon and look forward to sharing the behind-the-scenes drawing process with you shortly ❤️ #illustration #artbook #bookillustrator #bookillustrations #drawingonlocation

Lizzy the Ice Cream🍦@thegoomis № 41 It’s always perfect weather for Lizzy, the lone researcher at the Astral Cone Observatory perched above the Frilly Frost Fjords. This ice-cream astronomer is studying a massive rip in space-twine hovering over Sweet City. Her telescone readings suggest it’s multidimensional—and possibly tangled with a second object, one native to our universe but not to Goomia. Curious indeed. No doubt Lizzy will be up late, melting over the data as she tries to un-scoop the mystery. 🔭 Meet and make all @thegoomis in Crochet Goomis coming September 22nd! 📘 🖋️ Writing, crochet, and photos by @louiesloops 📚 Published by @quadrillebooks 📚 Pre-order on @clubcrochet for a bonus gift! 🎁 #crafts #crochet #amigurumi #clubcrochet

🌱 Growing From Seeds 🌱⁠ ⁠ Sowing seeds in trays is a fantastic way to give your plants the best possible start in a controlled environment. Whether you’re using a greenhouse, a cold frame or a sunny windowsill, or even a table out in the elements, this method allows you to carefully monitor germination and early growth.⁠ ⁠ 1️⃣ Fill trays with moist (not soggy) seed compost, lightly firmed. Tap to remove air pockets.⁠ ⁠ 2️⃣ Sow seeds evenly (or 1–2 per cell) and gently press in.⁠ ⁠ 3️⃣ Cover lightly with compost or vermiculite—unless seeds need light.⁠ ⁠ 4️⃣ Water from below to keep seeds in place.⁠ ⁠ 5️⃣ Keep warm, well-lit, and ventilated.⁠ ⁠ 6️⃣ Maintain even moisture – don’t let it dry out or get waterlogged.⁠ ⁠ 7️⃣ Once seedlings have true leaves, transplant and give them space to grow 🌿⁠ ⁠ 📗 How Does Your Garden Grow? by @milliproust ⁠ 📷️ @eva_nemeth ⁠ ⁠ #howdoesyourgardengrow #gardening #greenfingers #gardeningtips #sowingseeds⁠ ⁠

A balancing act 🧶📚 When writing Chunky Crochet I wanted to inspire and highlight the craft of crochet without making it too complicated or overwhelming for a beginner. (something that can easily happen when you’re excited and nerdy about a subject) My wish is that anyone can pick up a copy of the book and start on a project using only the book for guidance. This is why I included a section on how to read a crochet pattern. A basic guide to all the phrases and lingo used throughout the book patterns. The balance of sharing the magic tale of making a garment with your own hands without being to whimsical - keeping it straightforward and practical with a sprinkle of joy. I hope you like it! ❤️ Chunky crochet (Virka Stort) is available in 2 languages and can be found in my webshop or at your local bookstore 📚 #chunkycrochet #virkastort
