Whether you like it or not, the 90's are back! I, for one, am absolutely living for 90's fashion trends. Mom jeans? Bring it on. Scrunchies? Can't get enough. Chunky white sneakers? OH HELL YES. Recently, pop star and queen of everything Rihanna was photographed at a basketball game wearing a bucket hat and, just … Continue reading The 90’s are Back Bucket Hat: Free Crochet Pattern

To add … Continue reading Faux Fur Pom-Pom Mouse Ears: Free Tutorial
I have a constant craving that can only be satisfied by RAMEN! I'm not talking about those packaged hard noodles that come with a little silver packet of sodium.

The first time I had "real" ramen was on a trip … Continue reading Ravenous for Ramen: Free Crochet Pattern

One specific 90's trend I've adopted back in to my wardrobe is the scrunchie! They are much more comfortable than a … Continue reading Crochet Bow Scrunchie: Free Pattern
While perusing a recent issue of Vogue Knitting magazine, I came across an article describing the fade technique. This technique involves blending various colors of yarn together by simply striping them in to one another.

He greets us at the door, he plays fetch, and he is best friends with our actual dog, Buddy. I've … Continue reading Cuddly Cat Amigurumi: Free Crochet Pattern

You know it's summer in Northern California when we get our first heat wave. When it hits the triple digits, I hibernate inside with the air conditioning. This past weekend's hideout was our local bowling alley where I bowled an impressive score of 85 (womp womp). Though the heat may be torturous, it does happen to … Continue reading Boba Tea Amigurumi Key Chain: Free Crochet Pattern
It’s almost the Fourth of July! That means backyard barbecues, fireworks, and donning that red, white, and blue! I love celebrating the independence of my home country and wanted to show some USA pride doing what I do best – crocheting! My plans for the Fourth usually include a 5 mile fun run event in […]
We are definitely near the end of scarf season here in Northern California, but I just had to squeeze in one last neck-warming project. This spring, I've been super in to wearing bandannas as little neck scarfs. I love how you can just throw one on with a t-shirt and BAM! Chic AF! One day … Continue reading Bandanna Scarf: Free Pattern
