Crocheted Victorian Lattice Square Is A New Favorite!
Yippee I finally had a bit of time to indulge in a little crocheting, and found a wonderful square that works up quickly, with lovely results. The pattern is called the Victorian Lattice Square, and you can find it here on Ravelry as a free download. Now the only question is what to do with those squares? One square could make a little wall hanging or one side of a pot holder or hot pad, a few squares could become a small runner for a bedside table (that is what I think I'm going to do) and of course twelve or so could become a baby's blanket, and many could…

Crocheted Granny Square Cowl
I finally got the buttons sewn onto my simple granny square cowl, and it is now my favorite winter accessory. In fact I'm wearing it right now, and am looking forward to enjoying it as a spring accessory with a light coat as well. If this granny cowl looks a bit familiar, well, you are right, this is the cousin of my sunburst granny square scarf, which I love as well, but this year I've been especially loving tucking a crocheted cowl into all my layers of fleece, and a crocheted cowl simply made from just four squares was the perfect answer for something to switch out with the double…

Chunky And Quick Crocheted Slipper Sock Pattern
Chunky crocheted slipper socks or maybe you'd call them super thick crocheted booties are so much fun to crochet, work up quickly, are a great way to use up odds and ends of yarn, and make a great gift. What more can you ask for? Oh and of course they'll keep your feet warm! Our home gets quite cold during the winter months and we often go to bed wearing socks just like these. I did previously crocheted some crocheted slipper socks for my husband for a birthday/chanukah gift a few years back, and those are still great, and super warm, and much more sturdy, but I love this pattern…

On My Hook, A Cozy Crocheted Mohair Cowl
Right now I'm in the process of whipping up a cozy crocheted mohair cowl, and thought my work in progress might just inspire you to indulge in some quick winter crocheting! One of my go-to neck warmers this winter has been my crocheted ribbed cowl, which is so practical and can be worn in so many ways, so I thought I'd make a more delicate and colorful version using this mohair blend yarn I just happened to spot in a clothing store in town. Just couldn't resist the aqua, and thought I'd mix it with the other blue for something a bit unexpected. The wide stripes are because Ijust can't…

Crocheted Star Trivet Using T-Shirt Yarn Makes A Quick Unique Gift!
It is pouring rain outside and I have the luxury of spending a few days to do some crafting for Chanukah, and the first thing that came to mind was to try and use up all the t-shirt yarn that I have (so that I can justify buying more, of course!) and that is how these crochted star trivets were born, and I just love them! This is a quick gift to whip up in multiples for holiday giving and would be perfect together with an assortment of teas, or even better a nice teapot. Of course you could also make a large garland or wall hanging, or sew a…
