French Market Bag by Two of Wands

Stephanie — Tue, 22 May 2018 02:27:40 +0000

Crochet mesh bags are so beautiful and practical as their open stitch, net-like structure allows them to stretch to hold many items during grocery, market or beach trips! For those who have been following my work for a long time, you may remember that I made this pink and grey mesh bag HERE five years ago. That bag was worked from the bottom-up and in a round, as most of these crochet mesh bags…

Crochet Bear Cowls

When I first received this gorgeous alpaca fleece by “The Rare Creature“, I brainstormed what I should make with it. It is hypoallergenic, does not pill, and comes in a range of 6 beautiful neutral shades. You can read a more in-depth blog post about this special yarn HERE. This “Big Softy Yarn” evoked images of luxurious fuzzy sweaters and adorable fuzzy teddy bears for me.

Black & White Zigzag Beanie

When I first saw Kat Goldin’s “Lake’s Edge Hat” on her blog “Slugs on the Refrigerator” HERE, I loved the zigzag look and was curious to see how this effect was achieved. As I glanced through the pattern, I saw that it was surprisingly simple, and it came with a handy “how to read the pattern guide” showing what each round meant in case people were unfamiliar with crochet terminology or how to…

Since all my friends know that I love to crochet and that I have a crochet blog, they sometimes post popular crocheted/knitted projects that are making their rounds on social media on my Facebook wall. My friend Erika (who inspired me to crochet the “Knotted Headband” and who blogs HERE) posted a photo of some crocheted bearded hats, and I had seen similar projects before and thought they were…

Baby Pom Pom Earflap Hats

admin — Wed, 19 Nov 2014 23:36:21 +0000

I love making pom pom earflap hats as gifts! They work up quickly and they help the babies and kids keep warm and looking cute with the pom poms ontop! My go-to resource for hats is always Sarah of Repeat Crafter Me’s blog as she has so many different styles and sizes for all ages. I enjoy going through my yarn stash and trying to figure out what colours would look good together as I try to use…

The bond between sisters is so special, and we are overjoyed to soon have two sweet little girls in our family and to share our lives with I wanted to crochet some new items for Baby Girl #2 as I didn’t want the poor girl to have…

Easy Chunky Crochet Sweater

admin — Wed, 10 Sep 2014 04:06:00 +0000

I’ve always wanted to try crocheting some sort of clothing piece that I could wear as I’ve previously made a lot of accessories such as cowls and hats. I dabbled in sweater-making with Myla’s “Arbor Baby Sweater” but up till now, I could not find a crocheted sweater pattern for adults that I absolutely loved. Furthermore, I didn’t feel confident enough to try making my own design since I had no…

Cupcake Bib/Dishcloth

admin — Thu, 15 May 2014 20:13:00 +0000

One day while shopping for yarn at Michaels, I came across this free adorable “Cupcake Dishcloth” pattern designed by Twinkie Chan. Twinkie Chan is the queen of yummy and deliciously cute crochet (check out her site here), and I had seen her mention this project before on her social media. I excitedly took a copy of the pattern home and began working on it right away with some Bernat cotton yarn…

Crochet Toddler Loop Boots with Suede Sole

admin — Wed, 22 Jan 2014 15:57:00 +0000

One of the things I love about my passion for crochet is being able to make beautiful, unique items for my little girl that cannot be purchased in stores and are handcrafted with a lot of love! For Myla’s 1st birthday, she was gifted with a pair of Padraig boots (see here if you’ve never seen them before) from some dear friends: these boots were crocheted with New Zealand wool…

Cabled Wrist Warmers

admin — Thu, 09 Jan 2014 01:37:00 +0000

Two months ago I received a lovely comment from a reader named “Alicia H.” who said that she had crocheted several of the scarves, hats and slippers that I had blogged about, and that she enjoyed my taste in crochet patterns. And so, she wanted to share a pattern for fingerless gloves that she had come across on Ravelry as she said they reminded her of something that I would blog about.
