Retro Christmas Ornaments are so nostalgic. They are quick and fun to crochet and make great gifts that will be cherished for years to come. Every year when the ornaments come out, these crocheted treasures will remind your loved ones of how much you care.
I designed this Dancing Mushroom chart years ago, and I finally found the perfect yarn to turn it into a sweet little blanket.
I am so excited to share the beautiful creations of Pat Kintigh with you. She is quite the artist! Pat makes beautiful yarn-themed accessories out of old silver spoons and other silverware. The moment I saw one of her pieces, I knew I just had to share them with you, they are so unique and beautiful. Pat was gracious enough to agree to an interview, so I’ll let her tell you more!!
Tell us a little about what you do.
I have always loved these Vintage Crochet Aprons. They just make me happy. I’ve wanted to make one for so long, and I finally decide to just go for it. I’ve included some holiday colors for the stripes to make it seasonal, but you can use any colors you would like. Enjoy!
The kit reviewed in this post was provided by Tres Chic Stitchery.
When I was at TNNA back in June, I met Tres Chic Sitchery, who carries all sorts of awesome stitchery supplies and who sells online! I was given one of their beautiful Sajou embroidery kits to review.
This past January I had the pleasure of meeting Retomantic Fripperies at the winter TNNA trade show. I was immediately enamored! The vintage charm in everything they do is just lovely!
The Flight Hat got its name because it reminds me of the early woman in aviation. I’m not really sure why, it just does.
There is something about a retro or vintage look hat that I just love! They are full of such glamour and fun, all at the same time. I feel so much cooler (hipper? groovier?) whenever I wear one. Here is a collection of retro hats so you can be a cool cat, too! I think they are all pretty nifty.
Here are the names and links of each pattern, along with a little something that each designer has to say about them.
I seem to have a surplus of Granny Squares hanging about my work room. I’m not really sure where they all come from. So, I have started turning them into bags of various sizes and styles. They make great gifts! Especially the little ones turned into little bags for kiddos.
I was recently asked to review a book of Granny Squares, so I thought I would take the opportunity to show you one method I use to turn some Grannies into bags.
I designed the Skylark Cloche Hat to match the Skylark Scarf. This free crochet pattern has a fun 20’s look.
