Crafty Intentions

Guess I'm not out of a design job yet!

Crochet enthusiasts asked ChatGPT for patterns. The results are ‘cursed’ The widely popular chatbot is churning out uncanny animal designs and we tried one for a ‘hilarious’ outcome

Terrafracta on Ravelry has made several Snow Bear Loveys from the Leisure Arts leaflet, One Skein Baby Projects. I love the pink fluffy one! (Photos courtesy of Terrafracta.)

My crochet hook hack of the day: If you want to polish fake nails before you attach them, turn some crochet hooks upside down and put a dab of glue from a glue stick on each, then press the nails on. Polish away! Once they're dry, the nails pop off easily and the dab of glue comes off, too. I'm terrible at polishing my nails--I almost always get polish on other parts of my fingers, and I never have enough patience to wait for them to dry. Artificial nails are great for crochet videos and special occasions. Now it doesn't matter what color they are in the box. (But I have to cut the right thumbnail short so I can remove my contact lenses safely!)

Ullafrida on Ravelry shared this photo of her Go-to-Ripple tote in progress. Didn't she do a fantastic job? Click on the picture to see the whole thing. I love her color choices, too!

This is one of the projects from the "Crochet Ripples" video class offered by Annie's. (Photo used with permission)

Ooh, look what Renee Hollifield made! It's her Lebienaimee Cowl, using the Magenta Mosaic pattern from my Crochet Cowls book. She actually got to meet the dyer and show her the finished project. Enjoy your beautiful cowl, Renee, and thanks for sharing the pictures! (Photos used with permission.) Stackpole Crafts Stackpole Books

Kate M. Sherman on Ravelry shared pictures of her "Champagne Goblets for Susan," which she made using my "Champagne Goblets" pattern in Crochet Scarves. Lovely work, Kate, and the Valley Yarns Southampton is perfect for this lightweight project. (Photo used with permission.) Stackpole Books Stackpole Crafts

I should have done this for a Science Fair project!

How Cotton Fibers Become Yarn Experiments unravel the mysterious twisting process by which short fibers bind together into yarn.

Love this creativity! The stitching is perfect, too.

Texas Mom Crochets Custom Dolls in More Than 21 Skin Tones "If a doll makes someone feel extra special and loved, I'm all for it."

Saw some surprising yarn-related items on a recent trip to the L.A. area: a huge ball of yarn at the Reagan Library, and a craft book at the Skirball Center's Star Trek exhibit.

Getting in the holiday mood? There's plenty of time for you to make the Holiday Blossoms Throw! I teach this online class for Annie's; the design is by Darla J. Fanton. I think those little flower shapes would look great in other colors, too, like neutrals or pastels.

Festive flowers! The Holiday Blossoms Throw is the perfect accent for your home during the Christmas season. Whether you choose holiday themes or palettes to match your decor, your colors are sure to come together with the beautiful textured stitch pattern.

In this Learn, Make, Create! online video class tutorial brought to you by Annie’s Creative Studio, crochet expert Sharon Silverman demonstrates how to make the Holiday Blossoms Throw in colors of your choice.
