What’s not to love about International Crochet Day? I love nothing more than sitting down and creating with my crochet hook and I love that it has it’s own special day on September 12.
I’ve started a little bit of a tradition on International Crochet Day where I share my favourite crochet things (here’s my favourites from ย 2013 and 2014).
So here are my favourite crochet things in 2016.
Addi Swing Crochet Hooks
I’ve been crocheting with these babies for a couple of years now and I love their ergonomic feel. I first discovered them after getting pain in my hands and arms from too much crochet and now I’m able to crochet all day long with them.
I also love that they’re all different colours and range in size from 0.5mm (teeny, teeny, tiny!) through to 8mm.
My Uncommon Beauty Cowl Crochet Pattern
Earlier on in the year I was squishing some yarn that had been naturally dyed for me and I was hit with a flash of inspiration for a cowl design.
It became my Uncommon Beauty Cowl and it is the perfect combination of warmth and softness.
I love how the colours and textures are unusual and intriguing.
This has been my go-to cowl this winter because it keeps the cold winter winds off my neck.
Silver Lining Merino Wool Yarn
I feel in love with Silver Lining when I knittedย my first jumper with it. It feels so soft, squishy and warm. Ahhhh yarn heaven.
I also love that it’s fully grown and made in New Zealand from coloured wool. It celebrates a line of merino sheep that are rare and geographically separate – it’s a very special yarn.
Colourful, ย Textural ย Yarn
I love discovering and sharing beautiful yarns that feel good and that make me feel good.
With love, Lynda.
