Just like I don’t have a favourite fiber I don’t really have a favourite yarn either. But there is certainly some brands I really like.
Like Yarn and Colors and Scheepjeswol for crochet. Their yarns are available in a lot of colours, so that means you can make all sorts of pretty combinations. For knitting I really like some fancy (hand) dyed yarns like Skein and GamerCrafting.
Oooh, this is hard! I love merino wool to knit with, but cotton and acrylic to crochet with. So I don’t have one favourite kind of fiber, but many kinds I love working with.
NaKniCroMo - day 21 - Project and progress tracking
For my project tracking I generally use ravelry. As seen on the photo a small selection of my projects. For progress tracking I use an app on my phone, it allows me to count the rows and track the time I spend on a project.
I don’t have one favourite hook or needle, but my favourite brand of hooks and needles is KnitPro! I love both their crochet hooks and knitting needles. Especially the interchangeable circulars. I use those for everything!

I get my inspiration from everywhere. It can be a smell, a sound, a sight, a person or even a memory. But even just seeing a yarn or a pattern can give me inspiration about what to do with it.
Like for this Rheinlust shawl, it was the pattern with the wave in it combined with a memory of the North Sea that gave me the inspiration to make my version of the Rheinlust. I then searched for a yarn that fitted the idea in my head to make it come to life. That can take some time, like in this case it took me a few years to find the right yarn.
