Getting into the flow state is essential isn't it? I mean that's why we all love crochet so much - we're addicted to the peace.

I could crochet very complex things - and I have - but I do appreciate a simple but pretty pattern that gives me space to think my thoughts. I'm a better person after an hour or two.

I love this pattern for the size, the stitches and the yarn.
A 4mm hook is still one of my favourites. It's nice to hold and after all these years we know each other very well.

I hope you're working on something nice today?

The Star Stitch is a crochet technique based on two simple stitches over two rows.

If you've already learned the basics in crochet then this new stitch is for you.

Learning new stitches builds confidence, keeps you engaged in your project, and is great for your brain.
Not to mention you feel awesome when you crack it!

The tutorial for the Star Stitch is included in the Pretty Baby Blanket pattern, now available on Etsy and Ravelry

Keeping your edges straight in crochet is one of the biggest problems Beginners have to tackle. It's understandable and I sympathise!

Paying special attention to the first and last stitches makes the difference.

Do you agree, there is no greater peace than sitting down with your crochet? I like to listen to an audiobook while I crochet, but otherwise the fluttering and twittering of little birds is also satisfying.

Cup of tea and a spot of crochet this morning - join me?
