Talkin’ about Turtles … check out this adorable little hexagon turtle backpack!
Little Turtle Backpack
Rose Quartz Pullover (pattern by Robyn Chachula)
What a shame that you can only get this pattern through the Blueprint Crochet Sweaters book. I wish Interweave would sell these patterns individually. I do not care for the other sweaters in the book, but this pullover is a gem!

This story made my day! Be sure to check this page for the specifications on the type of squares they need.
(I also had an “ugh” moment when I read ‘needles’ and not ‘hooks’.)

This necklace caught my eye, and I love the colors and shapes! It’s great use of crochet to make all those different beads.
It took me a while to find more information about it (lots of people use Pinterest as the source or credit and it drives me crazy!). I know it is a necklace for new moms because the textures and shapes function as something for the baby to focus on. But what I’m not sure of is who credit goes to. I *think* it’s bisiki on Etsy, but I am not certain.

I love crochet! But I'm also picky. I prefer projects that are cute, sexy, interestingly made, or have a unique application. No shawls or baggy sweaters here.
