Blog

In my blogs I will focus on how to use crochet to create stuff that will make life easier or prettier... Read up as you might find some of them useful as well. Some designs will be for free and some designs will have a price... It all depends on the effort it went into making/researching/designing it.

Please check the list of the blog entries as the titles of each entry will more or less hint what it is about...

Sign up for a NEWSLETTER as among regular updates, there will be seasonal creations that you will want to check out so you can have the best ideas made into best stuff by you! Subscription available on Home.

Alpine Basket- FREE CROCHET PATTERN- Perfect scrap yarn pattern

Tulip- Square 7 in the Flower Garden Blanket CAL

The 7th square in the Flower Garden Blanket CAL is also mine (the 4th one was one of mine too, Lilly of the Valley, you can find it HERE)… I chose to do a tulip as this flower and the colors I chose represent the country that embraced me, where I made a home for myself and where I started my family.

What are CALs/KALs and why I love them

CAL is short for Crochet-A-Long
KAL is short for Knit-A-Long
