    Filet Crochet Small Diamonds Pattern For Blankets And More!

    If you already know how to crochet, or even if you are somewhat of a beginner, filet crochet is a great way to create a crocheted pattern with very little effort! No squares to sew together, no millions of ends to weave in at the end (not my favorite) and results that are very classic…

    A Chunky Crocheted Sunflower Granny Square Baby Blanket

    I crocheted this sunflower granny square baby blanket about 5 months ago and just now had a moment to share it with you! Truthfully I did not love the results as I was winging it and made the mistake of using a crochet hook that was really too small for the chunky yarn weight. This…

    There is just something about a great color combination together with a wonderful crocheted granny square that makes my heart sing!

    Starry Night Crocheted Star Garland

This is the perfect little project to use up odds and ends of yarn, and of…

  • Granny Hexigon Project In Progress And Almost There!

    A crocheted granny hexigon project that has been occupying most of my crafting time, is at long last almost finished! I have just two full hexigons to crochet and then five half hexigons, and then, it’s on to the border, or possibly weaving in all those ends before working on the border. It’s been a…

    Remember all those filet crochet starburst squares I crocheted over the summer? Well winter is the perfect time to assemble the blanket, and of course who wants a huge bag of crocheted squares hanging out doing nothing? So I buckled down and wove in the ends, which really wasn’t nearly as painful as I’d anticipated……I…
