Sunburst Granny Square Meets Color, Thanks To A Reader!
There is just something about a great color combination together with a wonderful crocheted granny square that makes my heart sing! I can’t say I’ve had the time or inclination to crochet much lately (of course I did crochet doll clothes, and need to do a spring outfit pronto…yikes!) because, well, one can’t do it all, and I’m putting most of my creative time into painting and art related endeavors. To see a reader, @hardknotlifecrochet, take my sunburst granny square (available for purchase on my etsy store here) and give it color was such a wonderful surprise, I just had to share it with you!

A Fun Crochet Meets Plastic Basket For Spring
I just found this in my archives, and thought I’d post it again, as it is a great one! Any container with holes can be spiffied up with some t-shirt yarn and a crochet hook, so when you do your spring cleaning…….I just remembered I put something in the recycling pile that could be upcycled, good thing I’m taking my own advice! Enjoy! Spring is here which means it is time to get started with the Spring/Pesach organizing and cleaning……but first of course as I was recovering from a very festive Purim I spied a cute little basket with holes in it, that could be much more useful if one…

And yes, sorry, that goes for the pattern I’m providing you with, as well, I am not a professional crochet pattern writer. Not to scare you, just try to follow the directions and I’m sure it will be just fine. And if you use variegated yarn as I have, you really don’t see the stitches…

How To Crochet A Simple Hat For An 18″ Doll
I made this simple crocheted doll hat for an 18" doll (American Girl doll size) and a set of winter clothing a few months ago, and am only now finding a window on the blog for sharing. Fortunately we've just had a drop in temperature and some rain, so this doesn't feel strange at the moment, thought I do need to get cracking with a spring/summer set of clothing or this doll might just bake in a few weeks, poor thing. Okay back to the topic of how to crochet a simple hat for an 18" doll. It is so quick and simple and the sweet kind of handmade gift…

Crochet T-shirt Yarn Pears For Fun Home Decor
I have been living with these fun crocheted pears for a year and a half or so, and I can surely report they are just so very charming! And wouldn’t a crocheted pear from t-shirt yarn be a great baby gift, it would look soooo cute in a baby’s room, or just about anywhere.

Here is my original post: I have been wanting to crochet a pear for ages,…
