    Hip hip hooray, after many many attempts, I’ve finally managed to crochet a pair of baby booties that were cute enough to actually give as a gift! I don’t know why it’s been such a challenge, but I think it mostly has to do with not using the appropriate yarn and hook size, and also…

  • Granny Medallion Crocheted Gift Pouches!

    Last Thursday night I did manage to crochet four granny medallion gift pouches for the little ones for Hanukkah! I used chunky yarn and mostly double crochet to make the drawstring crocheted pouches as quickly as I could! It’s a little tradition that I’ve started, and I’ve told my children that we’ll save them each…

  • Fabulous Crocheted Corset Style Vest For Girls

    Here’s a super simple yet quite lovely fillet crochet/granny square star burst, with just enough detail to make it interesting, yet simple enough for crocheters of any level to pull off.

You know, for those friends who have generously offered to host you at their beach…

  • Crocheted Medallion Stash Buster Potholder

    Yesterday I made some fun crocheted medallion potholders and used up a bunch of little odds and ends from some Lion Brand cotton yarn I’d been saving. When trying to use up the odds and ends, one may end up trying out color combinations that you’d never normally think of, but that’s part of the…
