The alternate stitch is a very simple stitch that provides texture and visual appeal to your projects. If you can make a single crochet, you can make the alternate stitch. In this post you will find a video to teach the stitch, written instructions, and a written and charted pattern for a practice piece.
For this tutorial I used Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice yarn and a US I/9/5.5mm crochet hook.

Sometimes you need to bring your yarnie projects along with you! This bag lets you do that in style. The fun ruffles and flowers add a fun flair. It is big enough to carry a work in progress, but not so big it is unwieldy.
With as little as 2 yards of fabric yarn, you can make this sweet little flower. It can be used to accessorize another yarnie project, it can be put on a pin back, a magnet, a hair band or clip, and a variety of other items to make all sorts of pretty little creations. This tutorial includes written instructions with many process photos, and a video.
I thought I would share the chart for my Swirl Heart design with all of you!

So a few weeks ago my wonderful friend Jenn gave me a few boxes of clothes. My girls just turned 3, and hers are 4 1/2 and 5 1/2. She has been handing down clothes to me since I knew the twins were going to be girls. I can’t even imagine how much money she has saved me.
After this batch of clothing, we felt we had a rather good collection of clothes with just a few holes (not in the clothing, but items needed like sneakers). Then, I received a message from the CafeMom Team
