Patterns, projects and techniques
I ran across this flikr.com account that has oodles of wonderful pictures, most of which are nature inspired. This artist has posted her own and the work of others. I love rocks and have wrapped some with wire and beads BC (before crochet). Check these out:

Let’s talk about a winter essential that combines coziness and style: the Elevation Mitts by Zara Powter! If you’re looking for a quick, satisfying project that screams winter vibes, you’re in the right place.
These mitts are inspired by everything we love about the season—think falling snowflakes and sipping hot cocoa by a crackling fire. The pattern uses Wonderfluff, a dreamy bulky yarn blend of baby alpaca, merino wool, and nylon. Translation? These mitts are as soft and warm as they look!
With a glowing 5-star review (shoutout to Tyla’s “love ?” comment), it’s clear these mitts are a hit. Whether you’re making them for yourself or as a gift, they’re sure to impress.
Grab the free pattern, your hooks, and some Wonderfluff, and you’ll be on your way to crafting a pair of these snowy-day must-haves. Trust me, your hands will thank you this winter!

Happy crocheting, friends! Let me know if you’ve made these or plan to—tag me with your finished projects. I’d love to see your winter creations!
Hi JD,
I have a book at home (at work now) that has “inspired” patterns for crocheting onto rocks. I say inspired because it’s more a free hand kind of thing, seeing rocks are all different. I started one at the end of the summer and never picked it back up again. I thought it would be a nice addition to my painted rocks from camp. I love nature and being out in it, anything I can do to bring the outdoors in is great. I’ll have to pick that rock back up again!
Happy Hooking!
JoAnne
JoAnne,
Would love to have the name of this book. River rocks are so pretty with no embellishment – but even better with yarn, wire, charms, beads, etc. I have several large painted rocks that have been given to me. One is a huge dinosaur a friend made when second son was born, almost 25 years ago. I cherish it.
