It’s that time of year again! Time for Christmas decorating, singing, spending time with loved ones and crocheted gifts/projects! These patterns have been many years in the making! I designed these Christmas stockings way back in 2011, but never got around to crocheting them until last year. Now I’m finally publishing the patterns for your…
Last Spring, the the local church that my husband and I attend had a ladies tea. Since I have lots of pretty china/porcelain dinnerware, along with tea cups and saucers (thanks to my Mom), I offered to set and host a table of ladies. I had so much fun planning and decorating the table that…
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…
After too many months of not blogging, it’s time I got back up on the horse! So here goes. If you’re anything like me, you absolutely ADORE reversible crochet projects, especially scarves! I hate having a wrong (ugly) side on my scarves, so I designed some scarves that are reversible (and a reversible baby blanket,…
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…
Have you seen the new Red Heart All in One Granny Square yarn? It changes colors at set lengths for each round of a 5-round granny square! I LOVE this idea! I had to buy a skein to try it out for myself! And it works great! Now there are only 2 ends to weave…
Do you enjoy traveling and seeing other parts of the world? My husband and I, along with our youngest son (30 something), his wife and their 9 month old baby, took a nice, long, 5 week trip to Europe in August and September of this year. It was amazing! We went to 7 countries: Belgium,…
Last month, my husband and I took a 3 ½ week trip in our motorhome from Arizona to Texas and back. We met up with some good friends, Dan and Janine, for the first part of the trip and had a great time! We did lots of sightseeing, ate delicious food, did some walking and…
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…
Did you learn any new crochet techniques last year? Are there any crochet techniques that you’d like to learn this year? I love learning new techniques/skills and passing along what I’ve learned along the way to the students in my classes, whether that’s in person or through videos! I’m very excited to announce that I’ll…
