Patterns & Pinterest posts that spark inspiration

For a while now I 've had the itch to make a  Crochet Hook Case. Usually my simple zippered bag works just fine in holding my notions. However, especially on those busy crochet days its biggest weakness presents itself. I'm taking about the dreaded rustling and readjustments you have to go through to find a particular item. Enter this cute case. In addition to the cute aesthetic I like that every item has a particular place and the setup of the case makes navigating all of your notions much easier. The best part is that if you're more of a visual learner the tutorial for this pattern is 100% free and available on YouTube.

Hack for working with yarn from outside in 

I don't know about you but I'm a 'center pull' kind of girl. The smooth flow of the yarn being pulled. Or the satisfying collapse as more yarn is being used. So naturally you can imagine my disappointment when a new skein of yarn refuses to succumb to the "center pull". When that happens I inevitable must work it from the outside in and deal with the restless nature of the yarn scurrying around. But not anymore, with this hack I found gone are the days of RYS ('restless yarn syndrome'😆). Results pending...

Project

My own personal "Best of" for projects of the past, present, and future. 

Usually when I find myself with scrap cotton yarn the go-to is rags. They're versatile and extremely easy to make. But another small and easy scrap yarn project is Crochet Scrunchies. All you need is a hair elastic, yarn and a hook. Although I prefer to use cotton yarn for these you can also get away with acrylic. Scrunchies make great outfit accessories and with certain color choices can be made to fit any season.
