Crochet All Day!

Crochet All Day!

Crochet is Just Getting Hotter!
 
Although I mostly knit, I love picking up a crochet project now and then because I can create a totally different fabric or shape more easily than I can with knitting. Toys and motif-based lace are just two kinds of projects where crochet really shines, in my opinion. I haven't actually timed it, but I suspect a crocheted baby blanket is finished much faster than a knitted one!
 
As more and more crocheters visit and shop with us, we've added more samples, yarn kits, and books to help guide and inspire you. Read on to learn about the patterns we're loving lately, along with yarns and books that will make your projects successful. And don't forget that we have crochet classes as well as one-on-one lessons just in case you need a crochet refresher.
