Do you ever feel like you need more storage, but don’t have anything to put your items in? I know I do! My favorite solution for that is to crochet a basket! It’s a basket made of yarn to hold more yarn or other knick knacks. I’m so in for that! I love using t-shirt yarn to make a nice chunky crochet basket.

She creates her very own t-shirt yarn, and simple quick projects to make using her fabulous yarn. I’ve got a pattern in the works with it, and absolutely love it!

The crisp fresh smell of pine trees is one of my favorite things about the holidays. There’s something about it that makes me want to curl up by a fire with a hot mug of tea, and watch snow fall outside. Growing up by the beach, I always had to travel to be in the forest surrounded by pine trees. So that means that I have to bring the pine trees a little closer to me by crocheting my latest free crochet pattern, the Pinewood Pillow! This tapestry crochet pillow pattern is made using Faux Fur yarn and chunky yarn to give all sorts of amazing texture to this pillow case. I’m pretty much obsessed!

Sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers, and have quickly become one of my favorite things to crochet!
