This site is underused as a blog, mostly because I reached the end of my original mission and wasn't sure what to do with the site after that, but I'm leaving the site up for anyone who is still interested in learning crochet and might find this site helpful. The tutorials are available via the… Continue reading Welcome to Maddy Crochets!
Further in pretty spring clothing: a beginner’s kerchief top!
My latest spring project (and free pattern recommendation) is the Kanata Kerchief Tank pattern, by Jennifer Ozses, free on Ravelry. It's a simple pattern constructed of four granny squares and two straps, and it's definitely beginner-level (despite how complex it looks). Mine used two skeins of Lion Brand's Shawl in a Ball, and I really… Continue reading Further in pretty spring clothing: a beginner’s kerchief top!
A quick, easy weekend project: The Savy Shrug by Crochet It Creations

That,… Continue reading New Year, New Crochet!

The biggest change I've made is an addition to the menu bar: under "complete tutorials" you'll find links to every tutorial I've… Continue reading Site Improvements
More with the autumn decor!
I'm afraid I'm not quite done with autumn yet, friends. First, an update on how the wreath turned out: Super cute, no? I wound up not using all the patterns I'd planned due to space considerations (by which I mean, really, the size of the wreath form that I used), but I love how it… Continue reading More with the autumn decor!
What I’m working on: an autumny wreath!
Happy Wednesday, friends! The temperature has taken a significant dip and it's feeling like autumn. Autumn is my favourite season and always has been. I love the sights, smells, colours, and even drinking my pumpkin spice latte in my yoga pants and big sweater. And so, the autumn spirit has caught me early this year,… Continue reading What I’m working on: an autumny wreath!
