Baby chicks in Eggshell crochet Pattern

It should be quite simple to follow, but if you have any questions please email me at redlflame@gmail.com. Supplies; -a bit of yarn in white and any other color of your choice for the actual baby chick and a bit of black for the eyes (note, I use Borroco comfort yarn. I like how soft it is, it comes in lots of colors, its machine washable and fairly inexpensive) -size F crochet hook -a bit of felt for the beak note about technique.

How to crochet a saguaro cactus

What, is that not why most people learn to crochet? But crochet cacti are adorable. Even my male coworkers agree. Well, they didn’t use the word “adorable” but they did find them to be “awesome”. Today I’m going to give you a tutorial on how I made a saguaro cactus. I used a 3.5mm hook (size E) with Impeccable Worsted yarn in Fern (from Michaels). For the main cactus body: Start with 4 single crochets in the round. For the arm: Start with 4 single crochets in the round, same as above.For the next round, crochet two single crochets into each of the previous round’s stitches. To finish, place cactus in a small flower pot and stuff around the base with scraps of brown fabric (I used bits of an old t-shirt), or small stones.

I decided they would make great gifts for my book club buddies. Unfortunately, all the links I tried were for paid patterns. Now I am absolutely in favor of fellow hookers selling their patterns, but I'm a mom of three on a strict budget and enjoy the challenge of figuring out how to make things myself. I learned how to crochet and knit via free tutorials and videos posted by generous, experienced yarn lovers, and like to return the favor. Here's what I came up with. Disclaimer...I am by no means an expert pattern creator! You will need: • H (5.0 mm) Crochet Hook • Cotton Worsted Weight Yarn (way less than 1 skein) • Scissors • Tapestry Needle (for weaving in ends) • Wine Glass (mine had 2 3/4" diameter base) Instructions: Chain 20 and join with slip stitch to first chain, forming a loop. Chain 1, then single crochet (sc) around in each chain. Chain 80 somewhat loosely.

It’s a page I can quickly use as a reference. If you have a heel you love leave a comment and a link and I’ll add it. It started with a picture I saw on Pinterest: *Heel options.

Boro: Japanese Folk Fabric. After buying a boro scarf at a Tokyo flea market I wanted to learn more about the scruffy, stylish fabric.

Boro: Japanese Folk Fabric

This lead to the unravelling of an interesting tale going back hundreds of years. Boro was born of forgotten values of ‘mottainai’ or ‘too good to waste’. An idea dangerously lacking in the modern consumer lifestyle. The charm of boro is not only the indigo shades and shabby street chic, or even its eco-friendliness.
