A few things about this crochet bag caught my attention!  The designs in the squares are pretty cool for one, I love Nordic patterns.  The squares themselves are easy to assemble with a little bit of sewing knowledge.  And the colors are very well used in the design, also the colors can be interchanged to whatever you want.  This looks like a great way to use up scrap yarns!  The bag itself has a cozy appeal with a lot of eye interest!   This is a Ravelry download.

The color!

I've been on a slipper making frenzy lately, and decided that it was about time that I write this pattern out so that other people can understand it!  Boot slippers can be quite easy to make once you find a sole and foot pattern that you like to follow, because from there, it's all in the leg of the slipper.  This pattern begins loosely following the pattern for Rows of Cables Boot Slipper s, but changes into the crocodile stitch for the cuff.  I love the crocodile stitch, and if you've never tried it, here's your chance!  Many people use different variations for this stitch, it depends on what you're making, but the basic concept is always the same.  I will try my best to describe it to you (with photos!).

A project to make for the kids!  These "Doodles" are incredibly cute hats, and include instructions for all kids sizing from newborn up to child.  The pattern allows color versatility, which makes it a great scrap yarn project.  The ear flaps keep the little ones extra warm and the pretty twisted straps add extra eye appeal and a fun vibe.

This beauty caught my eye right away!  I went straight to the pattern and found that there was no English version, however... I translated the page with Google Translate, and that helped quite a bit.  But the written pattern is still quite out of sorts, so it just took some looking at the picture and chart, and comparing it to the pattern.  No problem!  It is actually very easy, just some things to remember as you're working through the pattern: a popcorn stitch has to be worked into the last stitch made, 5 color= chain 5, lows =single crochet sts Designed By: Circulo S.A.

The texting glove takes on a new approach with the creation of SensaThread. This thread can be woven right into your other yarn while crocheting the fingertips, or you can add it on after.  This is great news for all of those cell phone addicts.  Besides the fingertips, I just simply love the look of these gloves, made with a super fine weight yarn in fun colors, where I could skip the SensaThread and be quite happy with it!

I find the cowl patterns that have been appearing this fall, are becoming even more beautiful.  By adding an edge along the rows of a basic button cowl, it gives this design a nice finished look!  Button cowls are a nice change from the traditional cowl.  While not using as much yarn, and quicker to make than a scarf, this scarf emits beauty with the clean structure of the rows and added buttons.

I can't take full credit for this pattern!  This is a "re-make" of my mother's pattern, Cabled Boot Slippers .  I love the look of cables, boots, and slippers; and love the original pattern, however, the yarn I was using did not match the pattern gauge so I had to change it up a bit.   The original uses double strands of Red Heart Super Saver worsted, and I've been using Red Heart Comfort worsted.  Both are worsted, but there's quite a difference!  My yarn, double stranded, made the original pattern come out way too big!  I tried dropping my hook size, it seemed to help for size, but it was really hard on my hands as the tension was so tight.  I wasn't letting this pattern go, so I had to re-think the process! So now using one strand of worsted yarn, I was able to re-write the pattern.  They are not as chunky as the original and have a couple extra cable rows for length.  But the basic concept is the same!  These slippers would fit a size medi

These crochet fingerless gloves are neat!  I love it when I find something completely different than any other pattern of the same style, and this one is just that.  The construction actually begins with the thumb!  Then the circular pattern works around the thumb, and the cuff is worked at the very end.  I have to try this one!
