Hearts and Twigs Awwwwwwww teeny tiny little hooky hearts, so cute you gotta love 'em! I've made dozens of these hearts in the past week or so, I think I've developed a slight addiction to be honest. The thing is that they are so quick and easy to make, it's near impossible to make just a few. You start out with just a few but before you know it you've made a small stack, then a handful, then a whole heap. They multiply in front of your very eyes. They are very dinky look...I made mine using Rowan handknit cotton DK and a 4mm hook, and they came out measuring about 4cm across and 4.5cm from top to bottom. ........I've had a play with little crochet hearts a few times in the past...you may remember this one from way back last year? So off I trotted to find out more at Meme Rose blog, and discovered a lovely happy place where lots of happy hooky happens. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cutesy, dinky, sweet little teeny-tiny itsy-bitsy hooky hearts!!! Go on!
Patterns : Coasters and their Basket thank you for all the enthusiastic replies to the first viewing of the new coasters and their basket ! very encouraging so here they are, the patterns ~ I hope you enjoy making this cute set as much as I did ! might be a perfect make for this weekend, right in time for Easter ? the patterns should be doable for the experienced as well as beginners among you please let me know if you have any questions or if you find mistakes in the pattern it would benefit us all yarn the yarn I used for this set is 3 balls of Martha Stewart's cotton hemp yarn : 65% cotton, 35% hemp that gives it the nice matte finish and little rough look - to me a perfect combination with the girly style of this this design. I used hook size 5mm (8 US) for this yarn and it is washable on 40C, not unimportant for coasters I figure. The colors I got from Molly are blue icing, sour cherry and picnic green, but there are many more combinations of three colors possible. stitches used chain - yarn over and pull through loop on hook
{ WIP Wednesday } Here are my Work In Progress projects this week… Well I have plenty to work on as far as crochet and Christmas projects! First off, I am making some Christmas colored Woman’s Hats. I am not sure what I am going to do with them yet! I am thinking I will just put them in the Etsy shop and see what happens. I just love this red and off white color I caught Hailey trying one on last night. Next I am making two more ear warmers. I love making these! **Speaking of this pattern, I have been getting a lot of comments and emails about it. Lastly, I get to make three awesome sock monkey hats!

Crafty Habit: Anthropologie Inspired Tuxedo Scarf Tutorial I saw this scarf on anthropologie.com and loved it so much that I decided to make one. It isn't too pricey for non-college students working for $$ (its just $38.) but I thought it would be fun to make my own especially since I've been wanting to sew a scarf since forever. Follow the tutorial to make your very own tuxedo inspired scarf. Materials: 2 yards of knit fabric (It required less than 2 yards but that is what I had, maybe more like 1 and 3/4 yards. Groovy scissorsSewing machine/or you can hand sew if you have the time :) Instructions: Using your groovy scissors cut a long strip of your fabric measuring 20 inched wide x 66 inches long (the length of the fabric I bought). Cut smaller strips of fabric 6" wide and long enough to make ruffles to fit scarf (I joined 2.5 66" strips to cover my scarf.This will depend on how tight/loose you want your ruffles to be) (Join the smaller fabric strips to each other by stitching seams at ends to form one long continuos strip.
Granny Heart Tutorial Following my post and pattern for the Grannie Heart Bunting, I thought the hearts would make an excellent starting subject for my first tutorial. So, here we go. My Grannie Heart Tutorial... ★★☆ - Improver A few notes before we begin: Yarn: I used Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino and a 3.5mm (E) hook, but you can use whatever yarn you like, just use the recommended hook size for your yarn. Terms: I've used British crochet terms throughout, so I must apologise in advance to anyone who is used to using the American terms. To clarify, the British terms that I have used are below in black and the American terms are given in green in brackets: British (American) Slip Stitch (Slip Stitch) Chain (Chain) Double (Single) Treble (Double) Double Treble (Treble) WRITTEN PATTERN - If you'd like the written directions only, please visit the Cherry Heart Boutique and download the Granny Heart Bunting pattern, which contains the heart instructions.

And I Went With . . . . . . none of the options I was considering in this post. Instead I made this giant crocheted flower for the center of my table. I used this vintage potholder pattern and just kept adding rounds until it was the size I wanted. It's definitely bright and cheerful! Blooming Flower Cushion Here is my tutorial showing how to construct this wonderful layered flower and then make it into a Blooming Flower cushion/pillow. First of all I would like to say that this pattern is not my own. I found it via Two Butterflies blog. In this blog post, Jennifer shows her own creation and gives a link to the original pattern which is actually a vintage potholder design from the 1940's. The original pattern is short and sweet and written in US terms. The directions re how to increase in each round are vague and took me a fair amount of trial and error before I got it sussed. Before we begin, a little summary of the basic stitches. sl st [slip stitch] :: insert hook, yarn over, pull the loop back through the stitch, then through the loop on your hook. dc [double crochet] :: insert hook, yarn over, pull the loop back through the stitch (two loops on hook), yarn over and pull through both loops on hook (note :: this is equivalent to the US sc stitch) To begin :: ch 6 and join to form a ring.
