Crochet A Tree Of Love

by

cro tree 1113

A friend (thanks, Melinda!!) sent me a link to this wonderful Christmas Tree.  Even better than the tree is the sweet story of how all the crocheted ornaments were gathered.  Please visit the site to view the tree and ornaments more closely.  You’ll be totally impressed with the variety and with the way that Cindy used them to their vest advantage with her decorative talents.  This tree, this project – they are inspirational.  I’m also angry that I didn’t think to do this myself first!  So jealous!  Visit the site and see for yourself.  Ooooh.  I’m jealous.

 

PS – Be sure to check out the super simple ornaments that are made ONLY of chained yarn and a bit or ribbon.  Some people are so smart!

  1. This was the first thing that showed up on my computer at Craft Gossip this morning. I was awe-struck. Not only is it beautiful but the warm crochet community brightened my day.

Why Brava Yarn Is a Great Choice for Crochet Projects

If your crochet project needs plenty of colour, easy-care yarn and a sensible price, Brava is one of those dependable acrylic yarns worth keeping in mind. Even better, Brava is the Yarn of the Month and is currently 20% off throughout September, with no discount code required.

Brava is a soft, premium acrylic yarn designed for projects that will be used, washed and loved. That makes it particularly useful for crochet blankets, granny-square projects, amigurumi, children’s clothing, baby gifts and everyday accessories.

Why Crocheters Will Love Brava

One of Brava’s biggest selling points is its generous colour range. Granny-square blankets and colourwork projects can quickly require a surprisingly large selection of shades, so having plenty of coordinating colours available makes planning your palette much easier.

It is also available in four different yarn weights. You can choose a lighter option for garments and accessories, a classic weight for blankets and toys or a heavier yarn when you want a quick and cosy project.

Because Brava is acrylic, finished items are easier to care for than projects made with more delicate fibres. This is especially helpful when crocheting baby blankets, toys, pet blankets or gifts for people who may not want to hand-wash their crochet.

What Would I Crochet With Brava?

I would use Brava for a colourful granny-square blanket, a washable baby afghan or a collection of amigurumi toys. It would also be a practical option for donation projects because it combines softness, durability and affordability.

The current 20% discount makes September a good time to experiment with a new colour palette or stock up for a larger crochet blanket. If you have a project sitting in your queue that needs multiple balls of yarn, this might be the little push you needed to finally start it.
