About Kate


Hi!

Welcome!

My name actually is Inge, not Kate. Kate is my grandmother’s name, and it sounds better with Cozy Crochet. Also, my own name is difficult to pronounce in English, so here I am, Kate. I am from the Netherlands, born in 1990 en living with my boyfriend and son.

I love dachshunds and, of course, crochet.

On my blog, you'll find reviews and free crochet patterns written by me. There won't be any excessive blah blah—just the pattern you came for. No unnecessary scrolling. :)

Enjoy!

Best wishes!

Kate

Review Clover Amour hooks

  Review Clover Amour – Are They Worth  the Money? Short answer: Yes! If you'd like to know why and hear about my experience, keep reading. Like most of us, I started crocheting with inexpensive crochet hooks. Mine were simple metal hooks without soft grips, bought from Action (a discount store in the Netherlands). When you're trying out a new hobby, you don't want to spend a lot of money right away. After about a year of crocheting, I started thinking about upgrading my hooks. I had seen other crocheters online using fancy ergonomic hooks, but I kept putting it off because they seemed so expensive. Surely they couldn't make that much of a difference... right?

I still remember how surprised I was by how effortlessly the yarn glided over the hook. Everything felt so smooth, and the ergonomic...
