DIY CROCHET GOODIES

May 4, 2009 by jd wolfe

Lady Willow Penholder Hooks

Lady Willow Penholder Hooks

I saw the crochet hooks this gal made on her website and became immediately enchanted.  You will too!  Lady Willow and I have been emailing and she graciously offered her tutorials for my blog.  So, take advantage of this, all you crocheters and crafters.

Here’s a great DIY project that’s easy and charming.  I love projects that recycle inexpensive, everyday objects into useful, attractive objects.  That’s upcycling!

Lady Willow adds this note:

No problem opening for me – does take awhile as it is very slow to load – over 2K due to all the photos.

If you still have a problem – also available on the following SITE…

    I agree, the link appears to be broken, and as I did a search for these and came up with ziltch, am anxiously awaiting further info on these hooks.

Sunseeker Pullover – Crochet Pattern

If you’ve been searching for the perfect crochet top to take you from sunny afternoons to warm summer evenings, the Sunburst Tank from Knit Picks is a winner. This breezy tank is simple, stylish, and has just the right amount of detail to make it special.

The design features a clean, classic tank silhouette with a slightly relaxed fit, making it flattering on many body types. The crochet stitches add texture and visual interest, while the lightweight construction keeps it comfortable and breathable. It’s one of those pieces that looks just as good with denim cutoffs as it does tucked into a flowy skirt.

What makes this pattern shine is its versatility. Work it up in soft neutrals for a timeless wardrobe piece, or experiment with bright cottons and summer blends for a fun, beachy vibe. You can even layer it under cardigans or dusters when the weather cools down, giving it year-round appeal.

Skill level is adventurous beginner to intermediate. The pattern is approachable with repetitive stitch work, yet interesting enough to keep you engaged as you crochet.

If your summer wardrobe needs a handmade touch that’s wearable, chic, and endlessly customizable, the Sunburst Tank is a must-make.

Find the pattern here: Sunburst Tank – Crochet Pattern from Knit Picks
