Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday! So wonderful to meet up with you all right here every week, and last week's party was chock full of great inspiration as always! Just by the way, I do love this party and I invest many many hours into making the features look great, however as in previous years I am going to take a break for the month of December. There is just always way too much conflict between this being a Jewish blog and the projects posted for non-Jewish holidays, so the easiest thing is to simply take a little break, which also gives me a little more time for some…

Crocheted Potato Sack Kitchen Scrubbies
This is not the first time that I've crocheted kitchen scrubbies from potato sacks, but there is a little story this time! What happens when a creative hoarder like myself starts an attempt to clean up her studio? Well, as you can well imagine all kinds of supplies start jumping out at me, together with a bunch of works in progress, screaming "don't spend your time cleaning up this mess, finish me, use me up, make something!" So when I opened up a bag and found some unusual orange potato sacks (ours are generally white and sometimes red), which are special since they come from potatoes from The Netherlands, well…

Crocheted Rustic Fruit Basket To Make From Old T-Shirts
What can I tell you? I just adore this little crocheted basket that I made using yarn from some of my boy's old t-shirts and striped polo style shirts. And in my humble opiinion one can never really have too many baskets, and fun rustic ones like this add a really nice seasonal touch, especially for fall. Dont you just love persimmons, I'm already lamenting the day when they'll no longer be in season……but I digress. The yarn that I make from t-shirts is never as thin as the commercial t-shirt yarn, which means that you can actually make a much sturdier basket with your cast offs! Like some more…

Crocheted Granny Hexagon Join As You Go Blanket
Once upon a time I shared with you a crocheted hexagon blanket in progress, and somehow never got around to photographing the finished item. So now, three years later, and just in time for your holiday and winter crochet project planning, I present to you the Crccheted Granny Hexagon Join As You Go blanket. This fits a twin bed, but a smaller (and quicker) version would make a fantastic baby blanket. You can do the hexagons as solids, or go for a polka dot look, or both as I've done. One disclaimer: the only reason that I ended up making solid hexagons around the border of the blanket is that…

SIMPLE CROCHETED GIFT POUCHES
Crocheted gift pouches are the perfect little something to whip up during the holiday season, so I've pulled some of my projects from the archives to give you some inspiration. I have been known to crochet little projects like this in the car to give upon arrival, so you certainly can too, especially if you have a few good hours! Gather up some odds and ends from your stash and some hooks in a few sizes too, and with my patterns to boot, you're all set. And even if you don't complete the little pouches on the way, little ones especially would delight in seeing you whip something up just…
