Simple Suzette Neck Warmer – Free Crochet Pattern

Here we are in Ontario, Canada. It’s July with temperatures sitting around 30 degrees celsius and I’m getting inspired to make fall and winter wearables. When inspiration strikes, you run with it! This free crochet pattern would actually make an excellent summer project because it’s on the small side so you’re not overheating like you might while working on big, heavy blankets. It’s also easy to travel with so taking it on your summer adventures would be really easy to do!

This would be a really cute teacher gift, adding this over a small plant pot with a little thank you note tied to the top. It doesn’t take much time and adding a handmade touch always adds something special.

Free Crochet Pattern – Loops and Ridges Scarf

Posted on by

Free crochet pattern coming your way! Although it’s August and we’ve had some recent heat waves, I can feel the mornings changing. That cool, crisp and refreshing air early in the morning as autumn begins to creep in. I absolutely love it. Summer is lovely but it’s never been my favourite. Autumn is a time of change, all things cozy and the perfect opportunity to dig out my cardigans and box of handmade scarves.

Inspired by the recent cool mornings, the Loops and Ridges scarf came about quite naturally as I was playing around with stitch combinations. This scarf is full of texture and cozy with a simple but fun sectioned repeat. I used WeCrochet Heatherly in the beautiful “Sweet Bing” colourway to make this lovely and eye catching project.

Lion Brand Landscapes – Yarn Review

Posted on by

Have you ever bought yarn strictly based on the colourway? I think many of us have. I was browsing online (you’ll understand the rabbit hole of yarn shopping) and found Lion Brand Landscapes. It looked very beautiful and I immediately added some to my cart without knowing much about it. Sometimes the challenge of figuring out a plan after I bought the yarn can be kind of fun. I also thought it would be a great opportunity to add another yarn review to the blog so I could share my experience with others.
