Crocheted Beard Makes A Fabulous Costume Accessory!
The crocheted beard that I whipped up for my eight year old’s Mordechai HaTzaddik costume was a huge success! Not only did it complete his costume, it was comfortable to wear, and even kept him warm as the Purim party/barbeque we attended went into the night and temperatures dropped!

Ever heard of crocheted nose warmers? I hadn’t either until I received an email request to make one, and while i don’t generally do custom crochet orders, this one was a request by a newly-wed for a gift for his wife whose nose tends to get cold, so sweet I just couldn’t resist!

Granny Squares Are Great For Using Up Bits Of Stash!
Granny squares are just the thing to use up odds and ends or, in my case some skeins that my mother saved since a brief foray into knitting in the 70’s. Yes, really some wool that is forty or so years old, and is certainly not getting any better hanging around! My new mission is…

More Crocheted Coasters With Chain Stitch Detailing!
The crocheted coasters I shared with you here, earlier in the week were just too cute, so I had to make some for myself too.
