It is just about time for Crochetville's annual blog tour, that gets bigger and better every year! This year there will be 93 crochet designers and up to 31 yarn companies participating. There will be many treats along the tour such as free patterns, and prizes! The tour lasts from March 1-31st. For all the details check out Crochetville's blog post.

I am scheduled to post on the second day of the tour. Visit my blog for a new free pattern that day!

eWoodStory's First Collaborative Collection!

We love to encourage all types of hand work to be stitched into our eWoodstory Stitchable Pendants, and we are always on the lookout for designers to work with. The talented Lilipopo, just released a collection of adorable embroidery designs that are designed to fit into our Olive, Pod, and Half n' Half pendants. In case you are into embroidery as well as crochet, have a look at Lilipopo's Etsy shop for this collection as well as her other gorgeous designs!

A Fun Free Crochet Hearts Pattern!

This is a fun idea to dress up a cardigan or blouse! Crocheting around elastic cord makes the center of the heart adjustable, so that you can simply slip it over a button. It is a great way to give a new look to something you already have in your wardrobe. They are easy to take on and off, so you can make one set to wear on different garments.

You can use different yarn weights to create different size hearts using the same instructions. You can also use two or three colors if you change colors in the rounds. If you can find elastic cord in the same color as the thread or yarn you are using, that would be ideal!

Be festive for Valentines day, or for any day of the year! If you decide to make some, don't forget to post photos to the project page on Ravelry. I would love to see how you use them!

The Sweetheart Button Frames pattern is now available as a free download on Ravelry.
