Crochet Video Podcast

Hi Everyone,
I am seriously considering creating a Crochet/Knitting related video podcast and I need your help!!

What would you like to see in a Crochet and knitting podcast (emphasis on crochet)?
What would be a good title for said podcast?
I really want to make something people want to watch so your input is very appreciated.

Thank you all very much!!

"Bringing Out The Best" 10 1/2" Knit Dishcloth Pattern

I named this dishcloth the way I did because I think that the knitting and crochet really bring out each others best attributes in this pattern. The knitting makes such a nice body for a dish cloth and the crochet adds that fancy finishing touch.

This is the first time I’ve ever written out a pattern for a knit item and this design has not been tested. If you find an error please let me know and I’ll fix it ASAP.

2 New Designs just in time for Christmas

Hi All,
It's been a while since I've posted. Between work and being exhausted thanks to pregnancy, I haven't had much get up and go for designing and writing up my designs. Thanks to going on leave a week early though, I finally got some mojo back SOOOOOOOO here's what I've been up to in the past couple of weeks:

First, I'd like to introduce my newest hat design: Easy Peasy Ear Flap Hat

It's super quick and is so easy to work up. The way the ear flaps are built into the hat makes for less ends to weave in and makes for a very cute (or handsome) looking hat. All it needs is for you to pick out your favorite colors.


The Easy Peasy Ear Flap Hat pattern is available in:
My Etsy Shop OR My Ravelry Shop

Next up: Scrubbin' Octopus

You've seen this one before. It's taken me a while, but I finally got the pattern written up. This little guy is one of the hardest, most handsome, little workers you'll ever meet. He can scrub when you need him too and when he's not cleaning your dishes he's being adorable.



The Scrubbin' Octopus pattern is available in:
My Etsy Shop OR My Ravelry Shop

Granny RR Dish Cloth- Pattern Now Available

Hi All,
Here is a picture my newest design. It's a Granny Round Ripple Dish Cloth. :-D It can be turned into a full blown afghan too. This dish cloth seriously works up so quick. You'll fall in love. It's perfect for quick gifts too. Make a bunch up and you're good to go for the Holiday Season. We all know how stressful it can be thinking of even the smallest gift for a neighbor or acquaintance. Well, tie a ribbon around a couple of these and include a cute little gift tag and you're good to go.


This pattern can be bought on RAVELRY or from my ETSY SHOP.

Thanks so much for looking!! Happy Crocheting!!
