I’m happy to report that I pushed pause long enough on my basket frenzy to actually complete one of my other crochet projects! I’m calling it my “Happy Camper” potholder! I have a friend who camps all summer and she sent me a picture and asked if I could make one. So I found the…
Recently I have added a new branch to my crochet business! I have been teaching crochet to others. One thing that is consistent – nobody thinks they will be able to learn how to crochet. I keep telling my students not to be afraid, just take it a stitch at a time and before they…
I have joined the other Crochet Queens who are attempting to master “this hat”. This hat has turned out to be simply irresistible – not only for crocheters, but also for people who want others to crochet the hat for them! The original hat was crocheted by a talented lady from Russia. There was no translation…
So, funny story. My daughter has a good friend who really wanted me to crochet a beanie for him. “OK, so how big is his head?” I asked her. “It’s as big as a basketball!” “Huh? No… seriously.” “Seriously, he says it’s the SAME size as a basketball!” Ummm… OK. Started crocheting the hat. Got…

Here is the pair of wrist warmers to that I made to match the Harley Orange boot cuffs that I made for my friend a couple of weeks ago! I love this pattern. There are some changes that I will make the next time, but I will definitely make this pattern again. It was really…
…As “One Size Fits All” when it comes to slouchy hats! I crocheted a couple last winter and gave them to my daughter. They were too slouchy. So she wanted me to try again this winter. I told her she needed to find a picture of a hat that had “just the right amount” of…
So I just finished crocheting a pair of special-order boot cuffs in Harley Davidson colors. I love the way they turned out. I had not made a pair of boot cuffs before to specifically be turned down over a boot, so I looked at a couple of patterns that I had a took a bit…
All of my orders for Christmas are complete and now I am moving on to some more personal projects. Both of my daughters wanted a hat and a scarf so I am in the middle of crocheting these. I have also finished an infinity scarf and a chunky cowl, two items that I really wanted…
I received and order for a cabled headband in purple. It’s so much fun to do colors like that. I grabbed my purple and settled down to create another wonderful cabled headband, since I had just proven to myself that I could. Well. A couple of hours later I still did not have a completed,…
