Hey there, fellow craft enthusiasts! Today, I’ve got something super adorable and sunny to share with you – a crochet sunflower keychain. Trust me, it’s the perfect little project to add a pop of colo
In today's Crochet Braid Puff Stitch Tutorial, you will learn something new, i.e. to create this gorgeous braided look with crochet! You could have fooled me: I really thought this was braided with many strands of yarn, into a thick tapestry type of yarn work. Well, as it turns out, it in fact is REALLY
I was on the hunt for boy-friendly hat ideas last week, so I searched for a lizard appliqué and found this pattern. I decided it could use some improving, so I reworked the it to something that sat…
This pattern was not fully designed by me, I just analyzed photos of tops others were selling and decided to create a free pattern for everyone! This is my first time writing a pattern, so please let me know if you have questions or think I should change something! I absolutely love this butterfly top. Trust me when I say it truly makes you feel like a fairy princess! This top is, unfortunately, a "one size fits all", so feel free to add more rows in different sections if needed.

Recently, I received a lovely email from artist Tracy Potts. I immediately recognized her name from following her on Flikr over the years, and always loving her art. It had been awhile since I had been on Flikr so I was blown away by the images of her new work that I'd somehow missed. Something Told Me It Was Over, 2012. Mixed media on canvas, 94 cm x 64 cm. Tracy was so kind to tell me my work and the blog had inspired her. By seeing other people use craft in their work, she gained the confidence to jump in and explore the medium. She clearly nails it, don't you think? Yes ... I Want to Be Your Everything, 2012. Mixed media on canvas, 94 cm x 64 cm. Her work is intensely personal and highly charged. I think it's that rare ability to incorporate craft with painting that works so well here. 74 Brilliant Suggestions, 2012. Mixed media on canvas, 94 cm x 64 cm. And also that subtle hint, just a hint, of representational that grounds the highly charged crochet, knitting and sewing that she overlays onto canvas. The Soft Wall, 2012. Mixed media on canvas, 94 cm x 64 cm. Her email couldn't have come at a better time. You know how all of us artists go through those highs and lows in our work. I was at a dull thud that week, feeling a little helpless and wishing I could do more for artists to share their work. Thinking about reaching out more: curating, writing more articles, pushing craft further into the mainstream art world. I Am Your Exotic Bird, 2012. Mixed media on canvas, 147 cm x 128 cm. Well, this work truly would fit into the gallery scene and it does. She is represented by a wonderful gallery in Australia, Anita Traverso Gallery, in Melbourne. Her work inspires me and I hope it does you too.
Making a sphere is something that comes up a lot in the realm of crocheting stuff. But how do you make a really good sphere? This is something that I pondered one day. After a very brief and half-h…
I have been a knitter for over 25 years now and have tried several things but Brioche knitting was something that just did not interest me too much. I think because many of the finished projects that came across my social networks were in color palettes that just did not appeal to me. I also am not excited about knit

During this quarantine I start crocheting diferent type of things for the Summer, like bikinis and tops. Because all the shops were closed in Barcelona I had to create things with the remaining yarns I had, and this Summer Top is the result of a mixture of those yarns.In this creation I decided I wanted something light and fresh for the Barcelona Summer and also something that was easy to make; you will need no more than a day to make it.Note: The top is quite stretchy so when you try it on it will actually be a bit bigger than the sizes I´ve listed.Have fun and let me know how yours ended up!
