I love to wear holiday pins. These little gems are super easy to whip up. Use up some scrap yarn, hot glue some eyes or embellish, add a clip pin and you have a happy festive pin to wear and share.
Christmas is only weeks away. It's been a minute since I made any of these lovelies. A shoulder injury knocked me out for a bit. But it's time to get back to crafting. I love these little ornaments. It has been a happy place for my creativity to grow. I wrote all of these patterns myself. A few are available for purchace at either Ravelry or Love Crafts. Click the link below if you are interested in seeing what ornament patterns are available. Plastic ornaments make a great base for thread crochet designed ornaments. (Glass is great, but with plastic - they don't break if dropped from little hands.) Most of these designs are for intermediate and advanced crocheters.
e (A friend gave me one of these kits a while ago and I finally decided to give it a go. I didn't care for the thread included with the kit, so I went off the grid and adapted the pattern and changed the thread weight and this it what I came up with. The buttons are plastic and have a raised 'eye' on the back. The eye on these was big enough for me to use a #5 cotton thread and a #3 steel hook. I love how it turned out. ( The QR code will take you to the reel I made for Instagram in Oct 2022 when I made the bracelet.)
Summer's Whimsey Lace Scarf
This lacy scarf has some fun elements, shells, multi-yarn over stitches, and solomon's knot. It can easily be stitched in a convenient length for a neck scarf, or head wrap or even a belt. Worked in a #5 thread it's light weight and makes a great summer accessory.
Time to start stitching up little crocheted market bags for spring farmers market trips. These little bags are so versatile. Use them in your larger bags to keep things separated OR from getting smushed! Click the link below to go to the crochet pattern page to download your copy today!
I decided to try this pattern in a worsted weight cotton. It makes a MUCH larger bag - but I wanted to get an idea of just how much larger. Posted below - a picture for size comparison.
