JUST WHEN I THOUGHT……

November 8, 2007 by jd wolfe

crochetcoasterblog110807.jpg
Just when I thought I had seen all that crochet had to offer, I run across another new site showing how whimsical, flexible, and creative crocheters can be! On this site:

http://www.craftzine.com/blog/archive/crochet/

there are many pretty crocheted things (like the bright coaster pictured above(- and then there are those things that can only be described as, well, funky. Check it out to see what I mean.

If you like amigurumi, there’s plenty of it here, including a one-eyed pig mask/hat, some fish, and other goodies. I am drawn to these eclectic sites. Something in them speaks to the whimsy in my spirit – and makes me doubt my sanity :-).

    JD I think these are just fab! My grandmother taught me how to crochet RIGHT handed (I’m a leftie) and I can crochet basic stitches….but these and some of the too cute little amigurumi critters make me want to learn even more! Thanks for posting this πŸ˜‰ Kimberly (bath and body editor πŸ™‚

Christmas Poinsettia Candle Cozy Crochet Pattern – A Pretty Little Holiday Make for Battery Tea Lights

If you love adding little handmade touches to your Christmas decorating, this Christmas Poinsettia Candle Cozy from CraftBits is such a pretty project. It is festive, eye-catching, and just the sort of small crochet make that can add a lovely pop of holiday color to a table, shelf, or mantel.

What I really like about this pattern is that it feels special without being overwhelming. It is a sweet seasonal project for dressing up battery tea lights, and the poinsettia design gives it that classic Christmas look that never gets old. It would be gorgeous as part of a holiday centerpiece or made up in a few sets for decorating around the house.

You might have seen this one featured on Crochet.CraftGossip before, and it is easy to see why it is worth another look. It is cheerful, decorative, and a lovely way to bring a little crochet into your Christmas styling without taking on a huge project.

If you are in the mood for a small festive make, this one is definitely a pretty pick.
