Do you want to learn a new crochet technique? I’m going to be teaching some crochet classes this August at the IOLI Convention in Dallas, TX. There will be all kinds of lace techniques taught (like bobbin lace, tatting, etc), but since my specialty is crochet, I’ll be teaching crochet classes. One of my favorite…
Have you tried Overlay Mosaic Crochet, but can’t quite get it to come out right? Well, there’s a fascinating crochet technique called Woven Crochet. It can look a lot like Overlay Mosaic Crochet, but it’s worked completely differently (and it’s quite fun)! It’s also reversible!!! I was first introduced to this technique last year when…
Introducing my Majestic Butterfly Afghan! This afghan was previously published many years ago by Annie’s, but has since been retired. I recently received the copyright back to this beauty, so I wanted to make the pattern available to other crocheters instead of it never being available again! This beautiful afghan is made in the Intarsia…
If you love Mosaic Crochet as much as me, you’ll really enjoy learning this new technique! I was introduced to this technique a few years ago by a lady named Stephanie on Ravelry. She had an afghan that was crocheted by her great grandmother in the 1980’s. She couldn’t figure out how it was made…
I’ve enjoyed doing the Thermal Stitch for quite a few years now. Last month, Heather (on my YouTube channel) asked if I could make a video showing how to do a potholder in Thermal Stitch with 2 different colored sides. I thought about it and I’ve been playing around with it for a few weeks…
If you enjoy crocheting projects with the Thermal Stitch, but don’t know how to change colors and carry them up the side edge when you use more than one color in your project, check out my new YouTube video demonstrating how to do this. It’s much better to carry the yarn up the edge until…
Have you ever wondered if there are more techniques to learn in crochet? Have you ever wished you could work all right-side rows, but you’re not ambidextrous? I’m not, either. But I learned to crochet backwards so all the rows in my crochet project will be right-side rows. You may ask “Why would you want…
I’ve been wanting to film a video to teach the Thermal Stitch for quite a while and I finally have one for you. But first, a little background on how/where I learned this fabulous stitch. I first learned the Thermal Stitch from Darla Fanton at the 2008 CGOA Conference in Manchester, NH. Darla is a…
Do you love the look of Mosaic Crochet, but wish it was reversible? Well now it is, with no extra work! I’ve been having fun with a hybrid style of Mosaic Crochet using Spike DC stitches (SPdc for short). With this style of Mosaic Crochet, you still work 1 row of each color and each…
There are several styles/methods for doing Mosaic Crochet. In my previous Mosaic Crochet video, I taught you how to do Overlay Mosaic Crochet. In my new video, I’ll teach you everything you need to know to successfully do the Inset Mosaic Crochet method. Inset Mosaic Crochet differs from Overlay Mosaic Crochet because Inset is worked…
