Newness!

We keep wisihg for spring, but we keep getting dumped with more snow....and more snow....and now they're telling us to expect more blizzards though April.  Well then, I guess we better dig out some fun crochet ideas to keep our hands busy!

Here's an adorable Tam, made in the style of a beret.  This pattern comes with instructions for working with worsted weight, 2 strands of worsted, or chunky yarn, so you can pretty much make one with whatever you have on hand!

The pattern link can be found here:

Looking for a super quick project?  Why not make this crossover scarf?  

And, with Easter just around the corner, why not make this cuddly and sweet rabbit doll.  This pattern includes the removable clothes as well!

The Yarn Tote - aka Birthdays Are Great!

Well it was Lisa's birthday recently, and what better gift for a crochetter than a yarn and project tote?   This tote is everything you want and no bulk!

It's great for storing, organizing, and carrying along your UFOs (unfinished objects)  Great, too, for working multi-colored patterns, as it has multiple yarn holes.  There are zippered compartments on the back and sized and room to tuck a printed pattern.  You can carry your yarn needle, scissors, and any other small notions you'll be needing in these convenient and see through compartments.  The inside is one large compartment, which is super, since it doesn't limit what the sizes of the contents are.... It is super sturdy and has a shoulder strap.
