I’ve found it! My dream crochet corner! Too bad that it’s in someone else’s home on a different continent! I mean, really, how inconvenient is that? I think I could overcome the mileage and maybe convince the owner to let me move in. I’d just be there to crochet and maybe read a book or two. Tell me what you think…

I love the pretty colors in the flower garden type afghan, but the real draw here is the ‘blooming’ cushion. A little secret is that the owner of my perfect little crochet nook has a nice tutorial on her blog .
After I spend a few hours crocheting in this sweet nook, I might want to take a nap. In that event, I’d definitely have to snuggle under this lovely rippleghan.

Once I’m refreshed from my nap, I’m back to the crochet nook to use the wise tips the craftymummy has shared on her blog about creating the pretty rippleghan.
NOTE: The rippleghan here is in UK crochet terminology.
Ripples look so lovely to me and make me pretty crazy when I’m trying to crochet them. I’ve succeeded in making a babyghan entirely in single crochets. That will never happen again! Single crochets are slooooow for me! I love round ripples, however. And, I love the craftymummy’s color selections. I also lack the color sense to create this sort of color harmony on my own. I’ll have to use her help there too!
But, I’d happily sit in that sunny nook and crochet away on a round ripple like this one – find the pattern here .

Okay, now that my crochet reverie is over and I must return to reality, I’m back on my sofa with my hooks and yarn nearby and a simple shawl almost finished in my lap right now. My family room is ‘home’ to me – but my favorite crochet nook is still in the picture above. Will I ever have the nerve (and energy) to create a sunny, brightly colored nook in my real home? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
Go for it! I love that round pillow! 🙂
OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!! I am a knitter rather than a crocheter! BUT, I’ve enjoyed looking at this womans blog!!!!!!!!!! It just draws you in! Her little sunny corner, her color schemes, the landscape… She does BEAUTIFUL WORK!!!!!!!!! Makes me want to pick up some more yarn!!! LOL AND, pick up the camera too!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST BEAUTIFULL!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing this with us!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
Thanks for sharing my blanket. I already love Attic24 but that ripple in the round looks gorgeous too.
Create your space! I’m pretty indecisive which alot of times hold me back in fear that what I am envisioning won’t actually turn out, but everything can be changed. Evolution is part of the design process:)
WOW!!!!! I love this. She makes you feel like you are really there, so nice and cozy with your crochet hook. Just love it. Thanks for finding her for us!!!!!
I like this corner, too. 🙂
Love the flower pillow. Love the look.I wonder if she would be overwhelmed with all of us going into her house, lol.
I love the flower pillow. I also love the elephant in the window.
JD, I will join you too!! Oh, wow!!! I want to be there. What was going to be my crochet area became our eating are. Everytime I set up a ‘crochet or craft area’ it becomes something else. Oh, well, the couch works!
Hi my name is Dadra and I have been looking for pattern that goes from 6point to 12 point to 24 point crochet pattern. I have bought so many books hoping to get it with no luck. Thanks for your time.
Look online for some of the round ripple patterns of Monica Kennedy. I think you might find something you’d like in her designs.
