I think the most fun trend that developed during my three years away from crochet, is the Amigurumi Trend. There were stuffies before, of couse, but there seems to have been an explosion of them.
I've been browsing Reddit when I get the chance and the number of people who are being pulled into the crochet world by amigurumi is fantastic. No matter how we get our new crocheters hooked, the more the better, right? Have a look at these.
I know I haven't had a lot of patterns recently, but I've not stopped crocheting. I've been gearing up for the Oombawka Design Crochet Hat and Scarf of the Month Club. You'll see those later this month.
You're probably starting to think about quick and easy gifts and making some lists. Be sure to try these Impeccable Tweed Mitts. It only takes an hour
to make one pair and you can get two pairs out of a single skein. That's a win-win.
You may have heard that Michelle of Two Brothers Blankets is still without power in the hurricane zone. She's not able to spread the love of her new crochet pattern but that doesn't mean I can't share it. Have a look at her Quiet Morning Pullover.
