In an effort to figure out what sort of design to make this week, I asked FB if they’d be interested in an oldie but a goodie earring pattenr I designed a few years ago. These earrings are made from ribbon, as opposed to crochet thread, because I came across the thin ribbon at A. …
Funny story, I’ve actually had this pattern ready for some time, I think I wrote it back in January, but I just had so many other ideas come up (all those seasonal ones) that I just never got around to publishing this. For this design, I thought it’d be fun to add to the Diana …
When I was making earrings nearly exclusively, many of the patterns were very much like little mandalas. It wasn’t until last year that I made a large one, the Memory Mandala, and I’ve been feelin’ like designing another one. In this design I’m really channeling my earrings designs, which is why it’s really open. I …
Wow, it’s April already. So, as I was preparing for this week’s free pattern, I had other ideas until a couple of weeks ago when my husband and I were out at a beer tasting and I wore a pair of pineapple earrings I had made a couple of years ago. I love my pineapple …
Hello! How’s Spring treating you? I’ve got a couple allergies here and there, and it’s kinda awful. But I’m well enough to still work and this week I’m bringing you a design that’s not inspired by a holiday! Yay? Were you getting sick of those seasonal designs? I wasn’t, but maybe some of you were. …
Hello again! How’s things with you? I’m still here, playin’ with yarn. All is well, I’m still enjoying tapestry crochet designs and my testers are currently working on my Alanna Owls Bags and next up will be the Viola Market Bag, which I’m super excited about. I said this on Facebook and Instagram, this will …
Hello and welcome to all!This year I’m a contributing designer to HodgePodge Crochet’s 2016 Sampler Afghan CAL and as I’m seeing so many different and gorgeous patterns, I got inspired. I thought this would be a nice idea to turn into a scarf or a cowl, as I prefer. This post is also my first …
Hello! How are you doin’ this week? I’m a bit sick, fillin’ stuffy and pressure filled and it’s icky. It’s got me movin’ a bit slower, I slept in today and so now I’m trying to get caught up on work. Being sick is awful. So, this week’s pattern is Springy or Easter themed, I …
Hello March! It’s another week and another month in 2016. Because it is March, I’ve got another St. Pat’s Day pattern for you, this one is cute enough you could totally leave it out all year long. And if you’re like me, you probably will. I have the Candy Corn bag sitting on my kitchen …
You know what, I love holidays for crocheting. It makes designing just a little bit easier, because I get to make cute things and it’s fun and I don’t have to think TOO HARD on what to make. So, this week I’m making something that’s St. Pat’s Day themed. This design is a bit like …
