Rustic Sunflower Granny Square
Recently I was designing the Rustic Granny Sunflower Square crochet pattern and tested the pattern with different yarns to see which yarn I liked best for this project.

Most times I really love working with this yarn, but then there are other times when the yarn splits and I find myself redoing stitches frequently. …

This is an easy bag to crochet and the perfect bag for using up scraps of yarn – the different color scraps look fantastic together. Using a handle other than a round bamboo handle really gives the bag a different look as well. I have seen fat bottom bags crocheted in a rectangular shape. These bags are wider and not as deep and…
