For this month, I plan on focusing on crocheting some edging and will be sharing lots of patterns with you guys. There are so many uses for crochet edging. Some of my favorites are adding edging on pillow cases, hand towels, and even skirts and dresses. So hope you guys will enjoy these patterns as I have.
The first pattern on this series is this "Step Edging". I've used this pattern to complete a baby blanket.

What do you get when you put together a bowl and a paper clip?
DIY Yarn Bowl
Saw a post on instagram with this technique and had to give it a try. It's a glass container from Dollar Tree and a paper clip. It works awesome. and my yarn cakes fits perfectly inside. The frugal crafter in me is very happy.
Check out what others use as a DIY yarn bow. I've compiled some images for you guys to check out on Pinterest. I am all for recycling, re-purposing, and saving a buck or two.
My last post, I posted the crochet pattern I found on Red Heart with Love packing label. The pattern was designed and created for a shawl. But I used it as a window curtains. The pattern is so simple and a breeze to work with that I also incorporated it on this crochet crop top, or halter top as they are called.

I am so glad I found uses for this yarn that I purchased at the Dollar Tree and more surprisingly, I actually like the smoothness of this yarn. So it's staying on my list for now.
