Seems as if people are always asking for free patterns for crochet flowers.  There are so many ways to use these lovelies.  Applique them to purses or jackets, join to create a textured shawl of capelet, add to a headband…

I ran across these when I was looking for a site to see what kind of crocheted scarves are available in India:

I especially like the one that is third from the right.  (I believe the two in the center –…

So, I’m sitting at the Crochet Club Meeting, minding my own business the other night, knowing I had to leave early to get to the airport to pick up my MIL who was flying in from India via Australia, when…

The air is suddenly crisp and cool.  Fall (my least favorite time of year) may well be upon us and it’s still August!  Tho’ I’m not a fan of Fall as cold winter soon follows, I do like the colors…

Here’s another site that will give you lots of instructions and ideas for recycling simple things.

How about those pull tabs from canned sodas and beers?  If you don’t have a supply at home, ask for them from friends or at…

This is one of my favorite crochet blogs:

It’s a real beauty!  I write SHOULD BE THE WINNER because so many of you entered this…

Fall isn’t really my favorite time of year, but I do love the colors and Fall decorations.  I’ve scouted out some ideas for us to crochet.  This first is a place mat that even a rank beginner could make.  Color…

While searching for crocheted wreaths, I’ve run across some other crochet beauties.  Gotta share these.

First is a fantastic crocheted ring from this blog – the crocheted one on the right:

http://www.modishblog.com/modish/2007/11/

Plus, this set of wreaths is to be found on the…

I had this idea to find a great crocheted wreath for my front door.  Wreaths and swags are things that I enjoy crafting with a lot of recycled/upcycled components.  I usually start with a wreath from a thrift store from…

I’ve just learned that my beloved mother in law is coming to stay for several months.  Have to make room for her.  Seriously.  What to do with all the yarn/books/hooks/magazines/print outs/etc in the ‘yarn room’ that will be her bedroom? …
