This year I want to share with her a gift that...

Felting perfect for beginning crocheters and quick gifts. This fun manipulation of wool yarn is also a fabulous way to create a dense crochet fabric. My favorite part of felting is watching a loosely crocheted project transform into a solid and soft fabric. Interweave Crochet Assistant Editor Sarah Read...

'Tis the season for quick gifts ! Here are a hat and cowl that I crocheted for a co-worker over the past two weeks. I used Brown Sheep Lanaloft, which is a great wool: a soft, worsted single with a bit of shine to it, and a 5 mm hook. The hat is a simple one: double crochet in spiral rounds from...

A couple of weeks ago I gave you a recipe for a snowflake in a hurry . Really, you can be done in while you take just a couple sips of latte. These snowflakes can be done pretty darn fast. Probably in a half a latte's time. All of these snowflakes are based on motifs from the Winter 2011 issue of...

I want to thank you. It's easy to encourage someone else to take a little time and crochet a project as a gift for themselves, but I can attest that it's a little more difficult to actually spoil yourself. Even as I stitch my brain is thinking about all of the people to whom I could gift this...
