10 Rules of Crochet

1.Every stitch we make is one less we have to make
2.There is to be no abuse of self or others
3.Be flexible
4.The gift of each enriches all (Which means sharing patterns for free and for sale is a gift to the world)
5.We all stitch and support each other
6.A hungry person has no charity
7. Experiences are NOT enhanced by criticism
8.The stitching is what we enjoy
9.A good teacher allows the student to learn
10.When given any chance at all..be a worker bee, make honey comb stitch.

Climbing Ivy Cardigan

well hello,

We have a new pattern joining my patterns at my ravelry store soon. Its the most wonderful connection of closed crochet and open lace. Its perfect for those warmer spring days, and warm enough even during the chilly nights. The collar and wrist are adorned by wonderful Ivy border....ab

It will be available for download in a few days. So check back often!!

I will also be offering the hat that goes with this Cardigan for free at this blog once I have it written out and tested.

thanks again for your interest in Chic Crochet.

Violet Princess Cardigan.

As I promised I would have three new patterns up before the end of the month. So here is the first. I made this cardigan because my daughter has plenty of purple clothes but no purple cardigans. So when I recognised this I remedied it toot sweet.


So here it is....

Thanks for viewing my blog!

So I have three new patterns coming up

I have been working feverishly on about ummm five patterns, two of which are other peoples patterns and three of them which will be coming up here as soon as I finish them. So look out for a mesh bag, and two sweaters, one size 24 months, the other a size two.

I know I know....I'm always working on atleast three or four things at the same time. My mother asks me why I do it to myself...but I can't help it. When I think of something I MUST create I must form it into fabric before the idea leaves my head and I miss out on what might have been a crochet masterpiece....LOL

So I am nearly done all of these projects and will post them as soon as I have taken the photos. The patterns may be for sale. I'm sorry to those that don't wish to pay for a pattern, but my maternity has run out so I need the little added revenue this brings until I find work.

Thanks and keep an eye out for the new projects.....
