Last night I finished my first set of pillowcases in the crochet-a-long being hosted by Cassie at You Go Girl. These are for my daughter's room. They were so much fun to make and easier than I thought it would be.
It's a really fun project and you get to mix two different fabrics if you want. Cassie really takes the time to go step-by-step very throughly. I encourage you to try it. I had barely any crochet skills at all when I started them.
I would like to tell you about another site. Kris from KrisKnits has a fantastic knitting blog. She has the cutest patterns for wash cloths I have ever seen. She hosts a mystery cloth of the month where she gives you just a tiny bit of the pattern every couple of weeks. I'm really enjoying it because it's a small project and there is a great sense of completion in a small amount of time. When I learned to knit years ago, it was through knitting wash cloths. I think you might enjoy both these sites. I hope you are having a good week. Be blessed!
With joy,
They are just beautiful! Love the fabrics you used and the edge looks great.

ReplyDeleteHi Renee, the pillow cases really look lovely....will any linen in your house be safe? Years ago when we were kids, there was a fabric paint called Hobbytex.....nothing plain coloured was safe in our house! lol. Happy crafting, Jenny

I've just found your blog from a comment someone left on Kris Knit's blog! What a lovely site you have!! I'm also doing Kris's mystery cloth KAL.
ReplyDeleteI love the crochet-edged pillowcases!
Those pillowcases look fabbity-fab-fab. Thanks for the kind words and for playing along with me.
ReplyDeleteI didn't have any crochet skills either until I fell in love with the pillowcases. Now I'm smitten. I still find myself asking, "Crochet? Really?" Yes, really. I love it.
Take care,
Cassie
