My first hoodie, on a cardigan that is. I love hooded cardigans but I’m fussy about the type of hood. I like them rounded and not pointy. Every pattern I came across for hoodies were the pointed ones so I set about creating one that isn’t. My hooded scarf was the first pattern and this […]
Crochet Ruffle Sleeve Dress/ Top

Crochet basic in-the-round Slipper Socks
This slipper socks uses so little yarn, it’s unbelievable. I used less than one skein for a pair, and that was for myself. I love it because I’m always looking for projects that use up leftover yarn and this was one of them for me. I’ve made these slipper socks for my daughters and son […]
