What's on Your Hook?

My Current Work in Progress. Read more to find out what it is...

So what are you working on this evening?

Right now I am working on the Silky Crochet Scarf, I found a free pattern on Ravelry for this beautiful lace scarf and I thought I would give crocheting this pattern a try. The pattern is given in a diagram and there is very little text to go with the pattern. It's pretty easy to figure out but working with a lace weight yarn and a small crochet hook can prove tricky from time to time. After a while I have to give my fingers and my eyes a break. Because of this I would mark the crochet pattern as intermediate.

I am using some yarn I bought from eBay a few months ago. I got a gift card from Influenster.com after I made a few eBay sellers guides and I used that gift card to purchase that yarn. It's a beautiful lightly variegated grey lace weight merino wool that has been hand dyed. This is how it looked before I turned part of it into a ball.

Pink Pineapple Doily Free Crochet Pattern

Hello and Greetings Everyone I know I haven't been around a lot to post lately but with the holidays, well everyone knows how that goes...

For a printer friendly and editable version of this post, scroll down to the bottom and click the button that says "Print Friendly." I am absolutely in love with this doily.

Crochet doilies come in a variety of sizes and colors, so you can choose to match your existing...

The Etsy Interviews -- Reverie By MT

Etsy is a magical place... I am in no way being paid by these artists or by Etsy to promote their shops but I am so in love with the idea of a place where crafters can become small business owners with a few mouse clicks, that I just had so started a series of posts about independent designers and crafters working to turn their crafting passion into a business. With the abundance of shops that have opened on the marketplace that claim to sell a craft but are really only promoting mass produced junk, it is even more important now for people like me, that blog, to share amazing artisans with my readers. I have decided to do this with... Melissa @ Reverie By MT The first interview in this series is from Melissa @ Reverie By MT . A fellow Kent State University alumna <GO GOLDEN FLASHES!> who is now residing in Oklahoma has had her shop for a short time on Etsy. Her shop has only been open for a month but it is full of amazing hair accessories for every ...

Homemade Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe

The Best Peanut Butter Fudge....like....... for reals! Your Key To Success -- The Soft Ball Stage Don't let candy making scare you. Once you learn the basics, making candy can become rather easy . I will make two or three batches of this recipe over baking a cake from scratch every day of the week. If you can boil water you can do this. The process is just like cooking most other things. When not cooked fully, it will be soggy. If you cook it too long, it will be dry. Sometimes it takes a batch or two to figure it all out.
