I have been working hard all weekend, with the house to myself. I still have a lot to do before I feel caught up from all the craziness over the summer. No, I have not forgotten to share, there will still be more posts to show the rest of our summer fun. Anyway, part of what I need to catch up on is sharing all the awesome patterns and crochet fun that has appeared on the internet over the past couple … Read more
This simple Chain Wrap Bracelet is great for beginners all the way to experts. You only need to know how to crochet a chain, and sew on a button.
There is also a link to a video tutorial that shows how to make this bracelet from beginning to end. Even a new crocheter can show off a pretty finished project with this chain wrap bracelet!

If you can make a crochet chain, you can make this necklace! It is super simple, and tons of fun. This necklace is a great way for those just learning to make a finished item, it is a wonderful project for kids (what a great Mother’s Day gift!) and it is even fun for the more advanced. It also makes for great craft fair stock!
When I last left you, Andee and I had taken a moment for a mentor/mentee photo op just before the annual CGOA member meeting. At the end of the member meeting, the winners of the 2014 CGOA Design Competition. Then we all adjourned to the marketplace for the pre~opening. We were able to walk around the marketplace, and see the display of all the design competition entries and winners. I took some photos, which I will share with you, but … Read more
You won’t believe the simplicity of this pattern! It is simply a linen stitch rectangle with a slit in the middle, which is then folded in half.

So I had these grand plans for the week. I was going to run to AC Moore this morning to grab some yarn for the process photos that I am adding to the Fall Leaves wrap, along with a 2 color leaf option (this means I will be making another wrap to show the 2 color option, made in yarn that can be bought from most craft stores.) Then I was going to make a Stitchopedia video for the linen stitch and get that up today. That way by the end of the week I could have the pattern for the Baker’s Tee up for you. That pattern will be free here on this blog, and I wanted the linen stitch Stitchopedia post done first as the Baker’s Tee is made with the linen st. Then there were other videos and patterns to be worked on over the week, along with getting more posts up. Oh the plans.
OK, we returned home on Friday, Mom flew back to Sicily Monday night, and we are still not totally unpacked, but it is time I start sharing the crazy with you! Here are the girls in the days before we left. Kyla was getting some quality napping~on~Daddy time, and Vada built a castle to take on the trip out of some empty Baker’s Cotton spools. You’ll see why I have so many empty Baker’s Cotton spools as the trip posts … Read more
