I was so proud of my first little crocheted pumpkin that I made two, then three! One in off-white and two in orange. You can crochet these in no time! Who needs to buy real pumpkins when you can make these cute little crocheted pumpkins for fall home decor?
I used the free pattern below -…

A collection of my favorite crochet projects to inspire you - from blankets to booties, and of course shawls! :D What will you crochet?

A variation of the Little Bee's Monsoon Stole.
As you may know, I'm a big fan of the Sunday Shawl by Alia Bland (The Little Bee) I have crocheted several! So when I saw her Monsoon Stole crochet pattern on Ravelry I had to give it a try. I followed the pattern but changed it just…
In looking for centerpiece ideas I came across the Bloom Mandala Centerpiece pattern by Salena Baca on Ravelry.

Materials I used:

Inspired by Pinterest, I found a beautiful simple crocheted doily pattern and gathered some fabric scraps together to create my very first dreamcatcher!
The project was originally posted by Toni Lipsey on fibreshare.org - you'll find a link to the doily pattern by Olga Poltava here: http://lacycrochet.blogspot.com/2013/05/small-flower-doily-my-first-written.html. I discovered her Etsy shop full of cute patterns and items for…

This granny square cacoon shrug was inspired by a pin my daughter sent me. The beauty of this pattern is that it's easy to do and easy to make in your particular size!
Simply start with a crocheted granny square and keep growing it until it's about 105cm wide. Then fold it in half and sew…

Ah the many uses for yarn.... if you can think it you can do it! My poor Martin guitar has been getting scuffed from the very worn out rubber that used to cushion it so nicely in its stand... so I looked at it, then looked through my yarn stash and...crocheted a comfortable cozy :)
