Looking for Pinners ;-)

I have recently started a board on Pinterest called 'Crochet for kids'. But I thought it would be more fun to pin with others on this board.

This is call to find other pincers out there whose name would like to be added to this board in order to help us pin 'crochet patterns we could make for our kids'.

Leave a message here or send me an email at thenewcrochet[at]gmail[dot]com with your name or email linked to your pinterest account!!!

Let's do some pinning together!!! ;-)

Orange the colour of amusement...

It is already the end of October, just a few days away from Halloween. When thinking of Halloween or even autumn, we think of the colour orange. A colour which radiates warmth and happiness, combining the physical energy and stimulation of red with the cheerfulness of yellow.

Here is a lovely collection of orange crochet patterns. Clicking on the pictures will bring you to the pattern.

Hayden the Owl our newest animal mitts

Kids love to have fun accessories and these easy fingerless mittens are such a great way to give them that special feeling when going to school. Basic crochet knowledge is required, you can use the most funky colours you have to make those little creatures.

The pattern can be found at my Etsy or Ravelry store.

Don't miss our they could make great gifts for the coming holiday season ;-) !!
Lots of other creatures will join 'Hayden the Owl'. Keep checking our shop for more.

Crochet Cowl Fall/Winter 2014

I have been away for a while but life has been pretty busy and pretty hot here in the South of France. It has been so humid that picking up some yarn and a crochet hook were one of those things you would like to avoid. But luckily the temperatures are a lot cooler now and I can feel the urge to prepare myself and the family for those cold winter days.

This time I will be bringing many fall/winter cowls & scarfs for 2014/15. 2 Patterns have been added already to my Etsy Shop. 
Both of them are using basic crochet knowledge but they have a rather 3D aspect and will definitely bring that something special you have been looking for!
These patterns provide baby, toddler, child and adult sizes. So you can make them for the whole family.

What's new??? Crochet at Milano's design week 9-13 April 2013

Last week I visited the Milan Design Week in the North of Italy. The land of great food and excellent coffee :-). Milan during this week, is such an inspiring place and definitely this year had a better feel to it than the past few years due to the crisis. But this year lots of lovely ideas were presented with a great finishing. They offered a more luxurious feeling. Recycling was not anymore the main concept.

Of course I was there for work but I have picked up some of the ideas referring to crochet or knitting but in a more advanced or creative way. 
Unfortunately I took hundreds of pictures but I can not remember the designer or company who created these products.
