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.
Crochet blocks, or crochet motifs, are really the building blocks of many projects. This week Katelyn will review the new Crochet Blocks book and take a look at the motifs and projects that it includes.
As we move into the second month of Scrubby Good. Clean. Fun. with Read Heart we are featuring some great kids craft projects. Over the summer while kids are home from school I know that I was always looking for something to help keep them content and doing something each day. These projects made from Scrubby yarn are great ways to get your kids involved in the fiber arts while having some fun. Don’t forget to check out the Marly Bird™ YouTube channel on Mondays at noon mountain time for a new project each week in my Kids Craft Camp.
Okay, Red Heart Scrubby isn’t cotton yarn but was developed to replace cotton yarn when making washcloths or dishcloths. Come learn a little more about Scrubby and each of the yarns that make up the Scrubby family. Be sure to give all of the Scrubby yarns a try to find what works best for you and your next project.
