Make yourself a quick #madebyme sock set with this sweet little crochet pattern Pia at Stitches n Scraps designed (she calls it "Walking on Clouds" -- isn't that cute?).

See the free Copenhagen Cowl crochet pattern in our Deep Coral and Gray hand dyed yarn (made exclusively for us from Summit Rd Fibers). It's a quick and easy one-skein project designed by Jennifer Dickerson at Fiber Flux, and perfect for the season. Any of our fingering weight yarns will work -- pick your favorite!

We've rounded up eleven small t-shirt yarn projects that are fun and easy to make -- plus one macrame project, for an even dozen. 

We have some fun new t-shirt yarn kits along with two free patterns for making a trivet or a set of 8 coasters. Super easy for beginners, and we include video's for making them -- start to finish.

Learn how to crochet a face and apply it onto a finished amigurumi project. This technique can be used on any of your completed crochet and knitting projects. 

Pia Thadani from Stitches N Scraps continues her guest posting series with this needle felting tutorial. She shows you how to make wool felt flowers to embellish finished crochet and knitting projects. 

We're happy to have our friend Pia Thadani writing a series of three sponsored guest posts embellishing our Ruby and Charley cacti. In the first she shows you how to surface crochet.

We've rounded up some of our favorite Youtube channels and videos for teaching yourself to crochet.
