Modular Crochet book
Many, many years ago I saw this book at a local library- long before the internet. I asked the library if I could make a copy of the book and they said yes so I spent quite some time copying pages. Well today I decided to look to see if it was available to buy… Read more

Denim “Squishy”
Made another lapel squishy” but this time I changed from the single safety pin back to two butterfly pin backs. This gives it more opportunity to be twisted. I like ease of putting on than the safety pin back. You can see the pictures of the backs of the previous one. Read more

Novelty yarn necklace
I have a few tops that have these colors in them and decided to make one for them. Using novelty yarn can be a challenge if you use just it, so, I used a carrier yarn (black #3 thread) to help the novelty from tangling too badly as I crocheted. I used a side closure… Read more

Finished a new necklace
I wanted to try this for a while to see if it works. I would say it did. As with the other ones the piece is slightly moldable so it will set nicely around your neck. If you round it off more it will sit a little higher to accommodate a different neckline. This is… Read more
