Weekly Wash #8: Lucky Washcloths
There are lots of crochet patterns for washcloth/dishcloths. My favorites are ones that whip up quickly, can be made on a road trip without a lot of concentration and are thick and strong. I got lucky (hence the name… plus St. Patrick’s Day is on my mind lately) and these turned out to fit all […]
Weekly Wash #7: Twisted Scrubbie
Crocheted poufs are one of those things that I really like the finished project, but making them takes WAY longer than I want to spend on something I am going to use to wash the dishes or arm pits. Some even take an enormous amount of yarn and can be tricky to make. After trying […]

Free Pattern: Gnome Luminary
Gnomes have been one of my mom’s favorites since I was little. On vacations to the Oregon Coast she would tell use she could see gnomes in the trees and tell us stories about them. She really made them come to life. Since gnomes are popular lately I thought it would be fun to make […]
