How to Crochet a Perfect Circle
Since we are all sitting at home right now I thought it would be a good time to work on a new skill. As I have gotten better at crocheting I have started to notice that when I would try to create a circle it wouldn’t be a circle. Where I would increase would create these lines and my circles would have points instead of being perfectly round. After some research on Pinterest and looking through some of my crochet books I found some great tips about how to fix this problem! To make a circle instead of a hexagon shape you want to stagger your increases. When making a…

How to: Single Crochet, Half Double Crochet, and Double Crochet
When you are first starting to crochet, three of the main stitches you will be working with are Single Crochet (SC), Half Double Crochet (HDC), and Double Crochet (DC). Please keep in mind for this tutorial I will be working with the US versions of these Stitches. If you are using a pattern that is from the UK make sure to take a look at a conversion chart because their DC is our SC and so forth. It can get very confusing, I learned that the hard way! Terms to know! Working yarn – the yarn that leads back to the ball of yarn Yarn over – Taking the working…

My First Craft Fair!
I recently participated in my first craft fair! Super exciting, right?! A church that has adopted my husband while he goes through his seminary education invited us to come visit them. They also informed me of their fair that weekend and gave me the chance to set up a booth. I figured this was a great opportunity to get my feet wet and try out the craft fair scene. I have been super nervous to get out there in the real world to sell my product, but it felt hard to say no to their offer and I am so glad I said yes! This fair was definitely a learning…

FREE PATTERN – Black Infinity Scarf
I have started a new tradition! Every year before the winter months I make my husband a new scarf. He LOVES scarves. Every time we go yarn shopping he picks up all the textures he likes and tells me it would make an excellent scarf for him. So while at Michael’s a few weeks ago he picked up some Bernat Velvet yarn and I decided why not? It is finally getting close to scarf season so he needs a new one! I picked up a single skein of the black (obviously not the skein in the photo above but it is the same brand and size) and went to work.…

I Finished My First Wearable!
A few weeks ago, I was getting ready to send off a care package to my Sister-in-Law. She is extremely pregnant, so I wanted to be sure that I included something fun for her and not just cute stuff for her babies. So I texted her and she jokingly asked how long it would take for me to make a cardigan. I, of course being the crazy person I am, thought now would be the time to dive into a massive project. I mean, why not? She wants one and I love her because she is my sister. Plus she is pregnant and pregnant girl gets what she wants. So…
