Things to Crochet, October 2018

Ugh, I just love looking at crochet patterns! Crochet is a craft with a really fascinating culture. On one end of the spectrum, you can create beautiful, sculptural projects that can be tons of fun (see: this month’s skeleton and alpaca blanket picks). And on the other end of the spectrum, you have elegant, understated garments like sweaters and practical accessories. With all crafts, you can make so many things, but the culture of crochet is particularly unpretentious in the best way. Anyway, enough of me waxing poetic about how much I love the crochet world – on to the inspiration!
