Sadly, it seems like summer is almost over, but at the same time it almost feels like it hasn’t begun. I say this because it’s been so rainy here in the Chicagoland area and we haven’t hit the all-time high temperatures like usual. There’s still plenty of time left to make the best of the […]
Where I live, sometimes it takes a while for summer to really heat up. Now that we’re coming up on July, the heat is finally turning up and it’s going to be stifling hot for the next few months whether I like it or not. Which means crocheting more sweaters may have to wait until […]
There are two kinds of people: those who would rather be hot than cold and those who would rather be cold than hot. I am definitely one of the latter. My philosophy is that you can always put another layer on, but eventually, you have to stop taking layers off. It’s good, then, that I […]
Nothing makes me feel more fabulous than a delicate crochet lace pattern, especially when it involves a shawl I can grab on the go. When I’m supposed to be somewhere, I’m always a hot mess: dropping car keys, forgetting that my cell phone is in my back pocket, and running back in the house for […]
Happy day, Stitch and Unwind readers! It’s Bethany again (I blog at Whistle and Ivy), and today I am sharing the pattern for this Crochet Cactus Pincushion Jar.

When you think of the word “crochet,” what’s the first image that comes to mind? A Christmas sweater from Grandma? A fuzzy baby blanket for your niece? Something warm and cozy? Winter crochet patterns are gorgeous, but there are plenty of fun crochet projects you can create for summer, too. From floppy hats to pool cover-ups to quick […]
I love walking around barefoot, and with the warmer weather arriving there is no better time to make a few pairs of these beautiful crochet barefoot sandals! Perfect for a day at the beach, a bar-b-que, an outdoor wedding or even just around the house! What better way to make your feet look and feel […]
Can you believe that winter is nearly upon us? I can already feel a slight chill to the air and the sun is starting to set a little earlier each day. In less than a month, we’ll have to turn our clocks back an hour! When the seasons start to change, I always like to […]
Here we are in the heart of summer, the most romantic season. When the warm weather gets your blood pumping, you want to snuggle up next to someone you love and watch those stunning sunsets. Maybe sharing an afghan will bring you a little closer together. Whether you’ve got a summer crush, long-time partner, or […]
