10 Years on CrazyPatterns

Sometimes you only realize in hindsight how many stitches you've actually knitted and crocheted.
What started ten years ago with a few ideas, sketches, and a lot of enthusiasm has grown over time into something lasting – carried by creativity, handmade work, and a wonderful community.

This anniversary is, for me, a moment to pause.

And a heartfelt thank-you to everyone who has walked this path with me.

🎉 10 Years on CrazyPatterns – Thank You for Your Loyalty!

There are moments when you stop, look back, and think:
Wow. Ten years.

What began with individual designs, countless swatches, and a big portion of heart and dedication has, over the years, become a familiar place for many knitting and crochet enthusiasts.
stricken-im-trend has accompanied me for an entire decade now – and without you, this journey would not have been possible.

🧶 10 Years of Designs, Ideas & Favorite Pieces

Over the past ten years, countless patterns have come to life:
sweaters, jackets, shawls, accessories, sets – some simple, some playful, many of them true long-time favorites.

What means the most to me is reading your messages telling me:

• that you've knitted or crocheted projects more than once

• that patterns have been recommended to others

• that designs have become part of your everyday life

That is exactly why I do this.

🌸 What Matters Most to Me

Knitting and crocheting are more than just crafts to me.
They are slowing down. Creativity. Time for yourself.
And sometimes, they are a small piece of home.

That so many of you have been walking this path with me for years means more to me than I can say.

Thank you for ten years of trust.
I'm looking forward to everything that's still to come – stitch by stitch.

Warmly,
Kathrin

🌿 Something New Is Growing – Quietly

Over the past months, another project has been taking shape – almost unnoticed.
A children's book, written with a lot of heart, imagination, and time.

A story about courage, connection, creativity – and about things made by hand.
Of course, knitting and crochet will find their place here as well. Not as patterns (or maybe they will?), but as part of a world where stitches, threads, and small handmade pieces play a special role.

For now, this project is still just mine.
It's allowed to grow, to evolve, to find its own rhythm.

But one thing is certain:
It brings together everything that has always accompanied me – telling stories, living creativity, and filling handmade work with meaning.

More about this soon.
Unhurried. 🧶✨
