Have you moved to a new neighborhood and looking for a way to get to know your new neighbors? Would you like to host a small charity event? Are you a group of friends who just want something fun and different to do? If you answered yes to any of these questions, the Crazy Hat Tea Party may be just what you're looking for.
Easy Holiday craft project. Make a scarf from fleece and bead simple snowflakes on them. Then you can use the scraps of leftover fleece to make some mittens!
This Tulip Placemat is a cheerful way to welcome spring. I designed this pattern when I was living in Seattle, and wanted something to brighten my kitchen - a definite necessity while waiting for the beautiful, sunny days of summer.
Filet crochet is usually done with crochet thread. I chose to use yarn because I wanted more coverage than thread would allow. (I bought a green pillow that didn't match my décor as well as I thought it would.) For those of you unfamiliar with filet crochet, all stitches are either a double crochet or a chain & skipped space.
I design and make so many placemats that I have a template on my computer! When I decide on a theme for a new placemat, I play around with it on the computer. When I'm happy with what I've created, I print it out and crochet from the chart. If you haven't crocheted from a chart before, it's really quite easy ' especially when using my template!
I chose cotton yarn for this cell phone carrier because it is easily washed. If it's for someone who won't get it dirty, you could make it with one of the fun yarns that are on the market now.
