Easy Breezy Backpack

Hi there!

Have you noticed that there just aren’t too many crochet patterns available for males? Is yarn too girlie?

Well, in answer to my own question, I set out to create a unisex string bag, which are oh so popular right now. My boys use them for sports and they love them! I wanted to create something with texture and style, something that anyone could use.

Creamsicle Wrap

Hey there!

Did you ever start out making something with an idea in mind only to discover that, whoops, that’s not what I intended to make? Well that’s what happened with this pattern. Originally I was going to make a nice summery scarf. As I started working and getting further into the pattern, I realized that I made it too wide!

Oh well. Now it’s a wrap! Actually it can be multiple things and I love the pattern more now that I messed it up than I did the original idea. Sometimes life is funny that way. 🙂

Hey there!

Spring is here and surprise, surprise it’s raining! (At least it’s too warm to snow. 😉 )

Hey there!

I’d like to believe that Spring is here since we’ve passed the daylight savings time clock change, but it just so happens to be snowing right now. Hopefully, wherever you are, the weather is warmer.

Even though it’s cold today, I designed this beautiful Water’s Edge Kimono in the hopes that Spring would hurry up. I think sometimes Mother Nature needs a good swift kick in the pants! Ha! I’m only fooling myself though. She’ll do whatever she wants.
