In honor of National Crochet Day, here's some patterns and loveliness to make all you hookers* drool.
* – because in crochet you use a hook, not needles (like in knitting); "crocheters" sounds stupid; not like Lafayette in True Blood calling everyone "hookers" as an odd term of endearment; it's funny; [sigh]
- Larksfoot pattern from Sarah London Textiles - pretty much love everything about this: colors, pattern (an easy-to-count/not-easy-to-screw-up one), look.
– a designer look with handmade love? Okay. If you coveted any of the Missoni line that Target had last year, here's your chance. A free pattern and an awesome photo prop (the old school Fisher Price record player).
– I'm a big fan of afghans and even though I'm loathe to follow a pattern (or a recipe, for that matter), I might make the effort for this one.
– I can't understand a word she's writing, but she sure does crochet purty.
– Knitted? No. Some crazy lady actually crocheted these intricate bad boys. And then died. Because what other greatness could you accomplish after this, really?
– While we're on the subject of Ridiculousness, let's look at this:
If you haven't seen the movie My Neighbor Totoro, you don't live at my house… But the guy that crocheted this adorable little character from the movie, also crochets many tiny creatures and sells them for your miniature enjoyment.
He also creates somewhat normal-sized adorable things like this:
Don't know how to crochet yet? Soon, very soon, I'll resurrect the YODEL for learning and crafting fun. It'll be epic. EPIC.
One year ago: LLLL – it was sunny.
Riot and Frolic
