Show and Tell: pretty crocheting

I may have mentioned this before but one area of crafting that I haven’t tried is crocheting.  I love the look of crocheted items and I’m planning to try it one day.

A reader of this blog sent me this book on crocheting. Isn’t that the sweetest! She discovered through an email exchange that I wanted to learn to crochet and thought of me when she saw this booklet “99 Granny Squares to Crochet.” Thanks Kai!

I’m a big fan of the blog Creative Jewish Mom. Sara has creates beautiful projects and makes beautiful crocheted items.  Isn’t this bunting amazing?

And this is pure genius. Care tags and extra yarn for your homemade crocheted gifts.


I love these African Flower Granny Squares from Craft Passion. I’m adding these to my “learn to crochet to-do list.”

If you have any crocheting tips you can offer me – please let me know. Wish me luck.

  2. Crocheting tips? Hmm... pick up a hook and give it a go. It's so relaxing and I can't think of a better fall/winter project then hooking away in front of a fire.

  3. I am finally coming out of a deep 10 yr depression after the suicide of my 16 yr old son (thanks to the medication, Abilify). I have been wanting to learn to embroider and crochet. I tried to embroider some blanket stitches a few days ago - I think I need graph paper lines on fabric to master it, but I know I'll ultimately win out! Then I want to go on to crocheting. Particularly a granny square afghan. I know it's easy - I made some squares years and years ago while at my Grandma's but never did anything with them. When I've mastered both of those, I'm on to power tools next! But for now, I'm glad to know where to go for some tips on the crocheting. My problem with knitting and crocheting was keeping the gauge right. I shall overcome!

  4. I think I should have clarified that the Abilify helped me get past the depression. I did not intend for anyone to think that my son's suicide was in any way related to the medication! Sorry for any misunderstandings!
