Ashley of Edyth Blayne has been hosting an amazing initiative since June called Crochet for a Cause. She gathered a bunch of fabulous designers to coordinate a free PDF download for a hat or scarf pattern to be released each week. The idea behind her initiative is to collect patterns that can be quickly/easily made to be donated. I was honored to be able to participate!
I made this hexagon baby blanket late last year for a dear friend of mine from college. She said that her nursery had stars and rainbows, and I mulled over it for a while before deciding to try my hand at a hexagon arrangement.
Rainbow baby blankets are so bright and happy and fun. I love the idea of surrounding your new babe with such vibrancy!
Earth Month may be over, but it’s never too late to focus on how you can improve sustainability and decrease your footprint.
There are ways you can mindfully improve this in a few aspects of the craft. Here are 5 sustainable ways you can crochet!
I chose Earth Day to release my square a few months ago, because I love the Earth and I love to do it up during April. But as I looked for inspiration, this pandemic was in the forefront of my mind. So I present my happy heart Earth Day square, representing the solidarity that’s in the air as of late.
Looking to crochet a baby gift but don’t have time to make a whole blanket? Or are you looking for a new type of project to try? I gotchu. I compiled a list of 10 crochet gift ideas for baby that are NOT baby blankets. I’ve also included links to patterns to products of each, to help you start your search.
If you’re like me, you’re aggressively searching for fun but QUICK Valentine’s Day makes because you love to be crafty, but don’t have much time.
I got you covered with: the mini pillow.
Hi, friends! I feel like it’s been a while since I put out a new design, but I’ve been dreaming this one up for a while now.
My friend sent me this gorgeous large print buffalo plaid scarf/cape for Christmas, and I am absolutely in love with its timeless elegance. I love classic motifs and I love oversimplified ones best. This was kind of the best of both!
I’m so excited that it’s my turn to share my Winter Wondersquare! I joined Claire of Bear Rye Crochet and designing 1 of 30 8-inch squares that you can join to create a beautiful and unique winter themed blanket! You can check out her CAL post to see all the past squares, and subscribe to her email list to make sure you get the ones for the rest of the month!
I’ve been trying to up my DIY game this holiday season. While I ventured outside of crochet for this, it still gave me my yarn fix.
I saw what looked like snow dusted pom poms in a flyer a few months ago, and I decided I HAD to figure out how to make them. I instantly could visualize them in green and thought of this photo I took outside our old house in Germany:
We’re finally completely and officially into Fall, and I’m loving every minute. I’m snuggled under my Rustic Tartan Throw and diffusing all the Thieves.
After doing a couple intarsia blankets, I was ready for a simple mindless project. But the best thing about this blanket is that you don’t have to be an expert crocheter to make it, and you can make it any size you want!
