Today I’m going to answer a very big question, “what crochet items sell well?”  I cannot always answer this question. Not because I don’t understand the question, but because I don’t understand why it’s being asked. The idea behind this question is that there are specific items that when made in crochet will sell like […]

I’ve had a number of requests to do a tutorial on how to crochet the basic single crochet chevron stitch so here it is! This is a lovely crochet stitch will go with you where your imagination goes so learn it, use it and create amazing pieces with it! The best way to learn the […]

Learning how to half double crochet two together will help when you get a pattern that just says “decrease.” Although it’s not the only one used, if you’re already working in half double crochets, then this stitch is probably the decrease the pattern calls for. The Chains Slouchy Hat Pattern uses this stitch to reduce […]

I know you’ve done it, we all have. We’ve gotten to the end of our projects only to realize that at some point we lost a stitch or two making some rows shorter than when we started. Man, that sucks! How can we fix that? You’ll be happy to know we don’t have to take […]

If you work with yarn chances are you’ve run into the dreaded tangled yarn mess we cannot escape. Tangled yarn can be a source of stress for anyone working on completing a […]

I took the hook in one hand, the yarn in another and began on my project. I didn’t have a pattern, but I really wanted to create something quickly so I decided to wing it. Within hours I had an amazing cowl with no idea how to do it again. Does that sound familiar? I’m […]

I was a crochet beginner way back in 2002. That’s when I met my husband’s grandmother and became inspired to learn. My first project was a scarf for my then fiance and I cringe every time I see it (yes, we still have it). Because I was a crochet beginner I stumbled along, like I […]

I learned how to crochet from a book. It was a bit challenging for me because I’m more of a visual learner, but YouTube just wasn’t as popular as it is now. Once I started to get the hang of it I started wanting to teach others how to crochet because, as we all know, […]
