Pokemon yarn-bombing

Here's a different twist on yarn-bombing: Leaving little crocheted Pokemon characters at Pokestops for the players to find. This clever idea was shared with me by my friend Joann.

Slippers from flip-flops

My dear friend Miss Pam shared this clever idea for how to crochet slippers using flip-flop soles. So cool! I'm going to have to try this. The free pattern is by Jess Coppom of Make And Do Crew.

Crochet spring wreath

Ups and Downs Slouchy Beanie

I made this hat for a friend of mine (we are also coworkers) who is about to start chemo. The yarn is lovely and soft and made with colors she likes. I hope it's a comfort to her on her chemo journey. Hang in there, J!!! We're rooting for you!!!

The free pattern is the Ups and Downs Slouchy Beanie by Moogly, aka Tamara Kelly.

A vest pour moi

I crocheted a warm vest for myself, and I'm pleased with how it turned out. It only took me about five years to settle down and get it done. I've started then ripped out this same yarn over and over again, trying to get it right and/or achieve a style that I was happy with. But finally it all came together, although there are still a few places where the design can be improved.
