GIVEAWAY WINNER FOR APRIL, 2011 – Creativity Abounds!

May 3, 2011 by jd wolfe

This is just one of the creative (or zany) items I pictured in the article announcing the April Giveaway.  Your job was to come up with a creative idea for crochet.  There were lots of enticing entries.  But, Julie’s idea of crocheting with crime scene tape grabbed my fancy!  Maybe I’ve been watching too much Law&Order!  But, Julie wins!  Read her entry:

I’m a forensic scientist, and I want to crochet something using crime scene tape! I think it would be so awesome.

I think Julie’s idea is awesome too.  She wins my copy of the Premier Issue of “Spool” Magazine.  Send me your snail mail Julie so I can get “Spool” sent your way.

Thanks to all who entered.  Another Giveaway will be announced within the next few days!

Free Crochet Flower Square Blanket Pattern

There’s something so timeless about a floral crochet square—and this free Flower Square Blanket pattern from HiCrochet has totally captured my heart. It’s a beautiful blend of vintage charm and fresh, modern layout, with each square showcasing a bold, blooming flower at its center. Whether you’re creating a full-size blanket or just want to experiment with the squares for cushions or smaller projects, this pattern is super versatile—and totally free.

If you’re a fan of colorful motifs and modular projects, this one’s going to be a joy to stitch. I love how each flower square feels like its own little work of art, and putting them all together really makes the whole blanket pop. It’s the kind of pattern you’ll keep coming back to—easy to customize, beginner-friendly, and endlessly satisfying. Grab your favorite yarn colors, start stitching, and let those flowers bloom!
