When Christmas comes around I love to have decorations everywhere that put me in the holiday spirit. From special pillows and blankets to homemade stockings everything that I can add to my home makes it feel a little bit more like Christmas. I always seem to run out of time in getting projects finished for the holidays for my home. I am busy making things for other people. This year I am getting a jump start on my decorating with some of these beautiful crochet garland projects for Christmas.
Christmas in July continues with a collection of advent calendars. If you are like me you have a hundred projects on your list for the holiday and then as time gets closer things start to fall off. One of the things that I remember from my childhood is having an advent calendar. You can go out and purchase the ones that have chocolate already in them, or even larger ones with little boxes or doors to put gifts behind but why not make something special for the kids, or adults in your life. Take a look at this collection of 7 FREE crochet advent calendars and see if there is one that would be a perfect surprise for this holiday.
With as many projects as I make there are always yarn scraps piling up. I have seen many creative ways of using up your yarn scraps and today I am going to share another. Although you don’t have to use yarn scraps for these items it is an option.
Summer is here and many of us put down our hooks and needles for some travel, relaxation and family time. Okay, yes knitting and crochet is a great source of relaxation but let’s be honest, when it is 100 degrees outside the last thing I want to do is pick up a big project and hold it on my lap. Grab your small summer projects, your camera and some silliness and join me in traveling with Flat Marly.
Summer is here and so is the warm weather. Just because it is warm outside doesn’t mean that we should stop knitting and crocheting. Change up what you are working on and make one, two, or all of these FREE crochet summer tops. With so many options out there you can make your own summer wardrobe.
If you love the first collection of Chic Sheep by Marly Bird™ patterns you are going to love this second collection! Today I will be teaching you how to make the Margaux Chic Shawl which is one of the first to be released in the second collection of patterns. This crochet shawl uses only one color (you could use more to fit your personal style) and a great stitch pattern to make a beautiful slightly oversized crochet shawl. I hope that you enjoy.
