With the current brisk weather most of the country is experiencing, now is the perfect time to pick up these tools and make something cozy. My current crochet obsession is working with motifs. A motif is a decorative design or pattern with which one can make a myriad of treasures. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced yarnista, motifs are a joy to work. I recommend getting the book Beyond the Square: Crochet Motifs. 144 motifs! Oh what fun! Now, that can keep anyone busy until warm, sunny days return!
Hexagons, circles, squares, triangles, and more-- whatever the shape, connect together to create blankets, scarves, place mats, beanies, pillows and more.
Is anyone else working on fun projects this winter? Have you worked with motifs before? Share some fun ideas with us and happy crafting!
Hey long lost cousin with a blog! It is, once again, nice to read a sort of update on you and yours in the PACNW. While i have no real "crafty" contribution i wanted to comment and encourage you to keep blogging. We all wept and prayed for you and Josh while you were experiencing your "heartache", i hope you could feel our warm hugs and prayers we were sending, even though they were often sent without a spoken word. We love you two and pray for you often. I'm glad to see you're feeling well and satisfying your crafty cravings. Keep it up and give everyone our love!
