i don’t usually go in for the “i saw this on another blog” type of post, but when i saw these crochet-covered recycled wood stools over on poppytalk the other day, i just about burst with glee. how perfect are they? i love everything this woman (her name is ingrid and her company is wood [...]
i am late in sharing that i have a project in theĀ sept/oct issue of crochet today, the lacy neckline ‘upcycled tee’ pictured above. i want to make myself one! it’s a really good issue, with an interview with margaret oomen of resurrection fern (and a pattern for some of her gorgeous crochet covered rocks), [...]
