This simple mesh bag holds your supply of plastic grocery bags for storage. Put them to good use before they go into a landfill! You'll use just a tiny bit of yarn, much less than a full skein of kitchen cotton, and a comfy I/9 5.5mm crochet hook. There are instructions for a nail hook at the top, and an optional button loop at the bottom if you wish to close it. These quick and easy projects make great gifts for housewarming, or even quick craft fair projects, as they really work up in a flash. Free PDF download available on my blog.
Lion Brand put together an amazing collection of patterns for the 12 Weeks of Christmas - and one of those patterns is the Snowdrifts Afghan! The Snowdrifts Afghan features a stitch pattern I started using last Christmas season - but this time I've paired it with squishy sparkly Wool-Ease Thick and Quick! The two colorways used - Mystical and Celebration - both feature a gorgeous and eye-catching metallic thread. It's not easy to capture on camera, but in person, it gives this blanket a lot of oomph!
That makes this Asymmetrical Poncho Pattern the perfect choice for rapidly approaching sweater weather! It's lightweight, trendy, and versatile. Plus, it comes together really easily which makes this a great project for all levels. This poncho is perfect for crisp fall days when you need a little warmth without breaking out the North Face. It pairs perfectly with those cute fall boots I know you've been waiting to use, and is great for a casual wedding. So, what are you waiting for? Break out those crochet hooks and start working on your new, soon-to-be-favorite fall accessory.
The Weekend Bucket Bag was inspired by Lion Brand's Jeans yarn - check out that front pocket! It's just the right size for most phones, and we all need a big pocket for those these days! The base of the bag is reinforced with plastic canvas, which is a great item to use for crochet projects like this - you can cut it to any size, it's inexpensive, and it's washable! Here, it helps the Weekend Bucket Bag hold its shape, and makes the bottom of the bag that much stronger - so you can fill it up and head out for a weekend of fun!

The Flower Pop Granny Square Blanket is very versatile and full of popcorns. The 6 inch squares are fun and fast to make and are a great way to use up leftover yarn. Mix and match your squares or plan them all out with coordinated colors. The front and the back look completely different and will really surprise you. I especially enjoy making the join-as-you-go method of attaching the granny squares. That is where you complete your last round and attach it to the adjacent squares at the same time. Includes two video tutorials.
