The colors are so complimentary and when paired with an easy double crochet stitch, the yarn just shines through.The colors changed with the variegated colors of the yarn, so there are only two yarn tails to weave in and trim off.

I've been wanting to try cross stitching on crocheted fabric for a while now. I also thought that maybe you did too so I designed a small project for us to try it out on, a cross stitch make-up bag. This small zippered pouch is perfect for many different uses, but I plan to use it as my new make-up bag. The pattern includes a photo tutorial for adding a zipper to your crochet projects and for the cross stitching.

These potholders are easily styled for each kitchen decor! As they are large and supple (about 19 cm or 7,5in diameter) there's surely enough surface to keep your hand from burning while baking your delicious food. I would recommend cotton for the potholders, as it is easily to wash and and heat-resistant. In this pattern I used Phildar Phil Coton 3, but any other cotton will do! I used 5 different colours (4 for the body and 1 for the edging) but again, this is completely up to your imagination! Enjoy, and make some potholders! And when youre done, make some more! Because you can never ever have to many potholders, right? ps. They make an amazing house-warming gift!

Stitches used in this pattern: ch, sc, hdc, dc.

If you're looking for a fun project that is quick to make, yet makes a fashion statement, look no further. Introducing the Buffalo Plaid Wristlet. Not too long ago, I stopped in my favorite coffee shop when inspiration struck! I saw a woman come in with a wristlet and I remembered everything I love about the lowly wristlet. It is small. It's convenient. It says ‘I'm busy, I'm important, and I'm stylish’. And right then, I knew I was going to design a buffalo plaid wristlet and use amazing purse hardware. It's what gives this wristlet her sassy edge, don't you think? Let's spice up the winter wardrobe this year!

It's that time of year again! The snow is melting (albeit more slowly than I’d like), the birds are starting to sing again, and the days are getting longer. All of these signs also mean that it's time for spring cleaning! Time to clean up and organize the clutter that's accumulated during the long winter months. There's one particular space that I'm constantly having to de-clutter… the pantry. More specifically, the mountains of plastic grocery bags that seem to multiply on their own. The Moroccan Grocery Bag Holder is the perfect crochet solution!
