For me, inspiration comes from literally everything I touch. This bolero is all emotions. See, my best friend recently moved to Phoenix and since I live in the east coast, I definitely had mixed emotions. On one hand I was jumping for joy, because it was their dream move, and really, a perfect city for them. But on the other hand, what on earth can you crochet for your biggest supporter when she moves to the hottest city in the US? So Crystal’s lace was born. It all started with the notion of hot weather crocheting. You want something that is small and very portable… Hmm, obviously it must be a granny square. Now for fiber, yes cotton is great, but where’s the elastic in it? And Phoenix does have cool nights… Ah, a light wool/nylon blend. And presto!, the bolero was born. So watch out, you never know when your emotions are going to challenge you to crochet! Ed. note: Robyn has written a blog post to address common questions about the bolero. See less

Now here is the same bag with some red fun fur added This little sling bag is crocheted using old VHS tape. It’s a great way to recycle those old VHS tapes that you may have stashed away and you don’t know what to do with. If you haven’t read my blog about how to use VHS tape to crochet click here for the link. It will explain how the whole process works so you too can crochet with VHS tape. Next I used a thrift store button for a closure but my sling bag just needed something more. I had a bit of red fun fur and thought it just might be the answer. What do you think? Should I add more along the bottom edge? I conducted a recent poll and many people liked the bag without the fun fur. You can embellish the bag if you want. The complete free pattern is below.

(clicky pics)Better pics will be added soon Textured Ballet Style Slippers * Note* I made these to fit a woman’s size 8- 8 ½ foot. I have fairly narrow feet. If you have wider feet you can use an H hook or you can either increase the starting chain in increments of 2, or add an additional Increase row between rows 4 and 5 bringing the stitch count to 32 Sc’s,if you do make an additional increase round or add 2 to the starting chain, you will need to change the number of Sc’s in row 14 from 21 to 23, If you add more than 2 to the starting chain you will need to add that same amount to the number if Sc's on row 14. Other than that, work as normal. You can make this pattern to fit longer feet by simply repeating rows 14 and 15 a couple more times. *You can simplify this pattern by leaving out the Fpdc's if you'd like and just doing Sc's throughout., It will still work out just fine.)

Until a few weeks ago, I thought “alternative fibers” meant eyelash yarn. Oh, how I was mistaken. Alternative fibers really mean anything you can get your hands on to crochet and knit with except yarn. The only limitation is your own creativity. My awakening happened at the Crochet and Knitting Conference in Valley Forge. My mom, sister, cousin, and I took a class on “alternative fibers.” It was fantastic. It was like being in camp again, sitting around the fire talking while trying to make lanyards; except there was no fire and we were trying to crochet with the gimp instead. Since then, I’ve been a woman on a mission. The mission is to crochet every material, paper to plastic, in sight. Recently, when Mother’s Day came around, I wanted to make my mom something with alternative fibers to say thank you for bringing me to class. That’s when these coasters were born. I chose black flagging tape for my mom’s coasters. I wanted them to resemble the black bamboo mats that she bought and I... See less

A Mommy Blanket is an afghan you create for a pregnant woman or new mom. It's a gift for her and her alone and has nothing to do with babies. It isn't cutesy (unless that's her style) and it is barely practical, although entirely comforting. It should be made from yarn too nice for baby puke, and in colors and a stitch pattern that reflects the pre-parent personality of the recipient. The best Mommy Blankets also have foot pockets. Obviously, any afghan can be a Mommy Blanket. For this article I've written up the pattern I designed for my latest Mommy Blanket -- a 3-color crocheted plaid. This afghan is built up from strips which use front-post stitches to achieve a woven effect.
