Ah! It’s finally summer and school is out! Now I’m able to divert the mental energy away from the unplanned homeschooling and back to writing up patterns for my crazy creations. I had fun creating this wide-brimmed sun hat for my little one. And, since he likes to carry his baby around sometimes, I made a mini version for dolly…
With all the craziness that’s going on, how about a fun new crochet project to keep you busy? I designed this long length cardigan for my mum to keep her warm in the chilly British weather. She is super happy with how it turned out and loves to wear it out and about. It’s made using Lion Brand’s new Basic…
Just in time for Valentine’s Day I crocheted this cute little purse and I love how the pink hues of the variegated cotton yarn really pop against the stormy grey background. I had a lot of fun designing this sweet little bag and I’ve written out the pattern so you can make it too! It would make a great Valentine’s…
I love playing with cotton yarn and adore all the different colors it comes in. Since it’s almost Valentine’s Day I thought it was time to use more cotton and develop a different kind of heart design. Using the diagonal ribbing technique found in my Color Splash Sun Hat and Fast-Forward Chevron Purse designs, this pattern uses variegated yarn to…
I recently got myself a set of these lovely Clover Amour Crochet Hooks. I’d heard so many great things about them and had been dreaming of one day owning a set.

I love designing crochet items for women and sometimes children but thought it was time I offered something for men. You know, because they need things too! I’d had this lovely skein of cream and black Lion Brand Scarfie yarn for a while but hadn’t been able to decide what to make with it. Since the yarn already had different…
Here is the crochet pattern for the cowl I made to match my Stained Glass Slouch and Stained Glass Fingerless Gloves. Featuring the striking millstone stitch, these items look beautiful by themselves or stunning as a whole set. Make it for yourself or as a luxury gift set. It can be made with other colors too! See the HAT pattern…
Here is the pattern for the gloves to match the slouch hat pattern I released last week. I really love this texture combined with the gorgeous colors of the yarn I picked out. These fingerless gloves are soft and cozy but not too heavy. They’ll be perfect for keeping hands warm in a chilly office this winter. The design may…
As we edge into Fall I’m starting to get excited about all the wonderful crochet accessories I’ll be able to wear soon.

I’ve also had lots of fun creating crochet bags and experimenting with different stitches,…
