  • Crocheted Medallion Stash Buster Potholder

  • Crocheted Rag Rug From Sheets —A Chunky Oval Experiment

    This oval crocheted rag rug is an experiment dear readers, not something particularly lovely that I'm proud to share with you, but rather a little test done with some sheets from the bottom of the stash that I couldn't see myself using for anything. So a little chunky bathmat was born and I've got some…

  • Crocheted Rag Rug From Sheets In Progress!

    At long last we're back into the crafting, and a crocheted rag rug is in the works! I always find that after a creativity/craft free hiatus, the first thing I always grab is a crochet hook, (in this case a 9mm hook) especially a chunky one that will help me make something fast! So those…
