Spanish Siesta

Get ready for a modern take on Flamenco! Though there’s no polka dots or ruffles, the puffs of this top are reminiscent of polka dots, and because of their weight, this top flows and moves very similarly to a ruffled blouse! The pretty purple stripes are also vibrant like traditional flamenco dresses, and this topContinue reading “Spanish Siesta”

Hibiscus Baskets

Hey all! Today I’m continuing with the floral theme, and introducing the Hibiscus Baskets. This is a FREE pattern, and features the hibiscus flowers that I’m SO in love with!  You can download the pattern on Ravelry for a small fee!  Yarn: Both of these baskets use worsted yarn.

Hibiscus Tee

Welcome! I’ve been a bit MIA lately (the whole family had covid, and then I took a much-needed break from social media), but today I’m back with the much-delayed release of the Hibiscus Tee! This is a fun lacy floral top with a simple hdc bodice. The floral lace yoke is lovely and light, andContinue reading “Hibiscus Tee”

Floral Mandala Wall Hanging Trio

Today’s pattern release is a Freebie! You know you all love freebies – who doesn’t? Well, this mandala trio has been hanging on my wall for over a year, and I’ve used it as background for so many of my pictures. Over time I’ve gotten a bunch of comments about them, so I figured I’dContinue reading “Floral Mandala Wall Hanging Trio”

Rose Garden Purse

My next creation is a little bit different. Today I get to introduce you to the Rose Garden Purse. This purse was a natural continuation of the Rose Garden Tee, a recently published colorwork knit. The matching purse is crocheted, and the instructions come in two ways: colorwork and cross-stitch.  You can find the pattern onContinue reading “Rose Garden Purse”

St Paddy Kids Pullover

This fun 4-leaf clover unisex children’s sweater will be a hit with your kiddo! This simple colorwork kids sweater works up in no time, and with the waistcoat stitch it looks like it’s knitted!  So it’s been a while since I posted a FREE kids pattern, and I just had to post this one. IContinue reading “St Paddy Kids Pullover”

Tr5tog-special

This is a special stitch that I’m using for the bottom of a chevron. It’s basically a regular tr5tog stitch, but you’re skipping a stitch between every “leg” of each tr. Check it out below to see what I mean! Starting point will be any stitch of treble height. This doesn’t necessarily have to beContinue reading “Tr5tog-special”

Long Loop Stitch

This is a favorite stitch of mine. It’s called the “Long Loop Stitch” and it’s basically like doing broomstick lace, but without the need for a dowl! This stitch is worked over four stitches, and it creates the most beautiful lace. Once you see what incredible texture you can create with this stitch, you won’tContinue reading “Long Loop Stitch”

Standing Treble Crochet Stitch

The standing treble crochet is my favorite way to do the first treble of a row/round. Doing chains only makes the stitch too thin, doing chains and a tr in the first stitch is too bulky. This method is perfect! Starting point: Insert hook into stitch, YO, pull up a loop, YO, pull thru 2. Continue reading “Standing Treble Crochet Stitch”
