At the TNNA trade show this summer I had the pleasure of seeing some of the newest yarns from Willow Yarns. They were all lovely, but Quiver was my favorite! Willow Yarns was kind enough to send me a couple skeins to try out and review for you. PLUS – they have given me a coupon code to share with you, you’ll find it at the end of this post.
Hello my friends! Did you like the Glitter and Gleam super scarf pattern I released on Friday? It uses an unusual stitch, so I thought you might like a video tutorial. The Tunisian Top Stitch is my favorite Tunisian stitch, and I don’t know why we don’t see more of it. It works up quickly and does not curl. I make lots of scarves with it, but this is the first time I have combined it with a drop stitch. I hope you find the video helpful!
The Glitter and Gleam Super Scarf features wide stripes of Tunisian drop stitch to create a light and flowing fabric. Super scarves are super popular right now, and this one will make you stand out in the crowd in all the right ways. The shine of the Red Heart Gleam yarn adds to the appeal as well!
I know you’ll love this appealing solid & stripe lace look on the Julie shawl with this free crochet pattern. Easy and fun to make!
It’s football season!!! I just love all the spirit that comes out for football, don’t you? Everyone gets so excited. I’ve collected some awesome crochet patterns for you that you can make to celebrate this football season. Many of them can be made to fit your favorite team by changing the colors or adding a little felt logo. Have fun with them!

Last week I received a package from my cousin, Gary Puckett; it was his new CD, Grandfather Mountain. Time and geography have distanced Gary and I, and we were thankfully reconnected recently through Facebook. When I was a teenager, I knew Gary was a skilled guitar player, he was one of my brother’s teachers. I eventually learned he was also a phenomenal banjo player. I only recently learned that he composes music as well!
Sometimes we need to starch our crochet (or knit) projects. I just made a basket that needed some starching to keep the sides up and the bottom flat. Would you like to learn how? Well, I’m going to teach you one method using corn starch.
What better way to show off your stitching skills then to wear a fun crochet top?! I’ve collected several patterns that you will love to make and wear. Enjoy!
