The Best Way To Travel With My Crochet Supplies
I recently started crocheting and loom knitting again. Typical of me when I do, I have to have many different hooks – so I have options, in case I lose a hook or if for some reason one breaks. When I first started I would just carry them in a plastic baggie. Well that wasn’t very durable so although it functioned, they would always tear apart and I would need a new baggie. I have been crocheting since I was four years old and I am far older than that now. It is high time I come up with a more permanent solution. This Colorz Box is a pencil box…

Crochet Face Scrubbies!
I have been crocheting since I was four years old. Ask me what I have made over the years and my answer would be not much… Not because I haven’t made many items but because I have made many of very few things.

Lately I have been venturing away from blankets, stockings, slippers, Christmas stockings,…

A Simple Double Crochet Blanket
This post contains affiliate links My mother taught me how to crochet when I was about six. Literally, I started a blanket when I was six years old – it took me about then years to finish. You know – as a child you get sidetracked so I would pick it up every so often and work on it. This first blanket has literally been my pride and joy. It is a sickening arrangement of colors because I picked up every scrap of yarn I could since I couldn’t afford to buy any yarn. To this day I try to avoid granny squares unless I am in a real big…

Mommy and Me Scarves – Matching Crocheted Short Scarves
Mommy and Me Scarves – Matching Crocheted Short Scarves Every year at this time I break out the crochet needles and minimally – I whip up some scarves. Usually I also work on the season’s slippers etc… I don’t get to crochet much anymore though – I never seem to have the time.

Something for everyone. This time is different though because I learned to crochet when I was…
