How is it already November?! This year has flown by and also moved in slow motion at the same time, haha! With the holidays coming up I wanted something fun to display on my dining room table. This crochet jute cord tray is perfect for exactly that!
Not only can you use it for a fun “Friendsgiving” display but you can easily change out the decor with every season! I think this crochet jute cord tray would be adorable with Christmas decorations on it too!
For this tray we will be crocheting around the actual rope. This is a bit different then holding double stranded and might be a new concept to you! It’s a lot of fun and I know you will love it!
If you love this project and want to make more home decor, be sure to check out my t-shirt rug pattern too!
I’ve been loving to knit a bit more then usual. My main love is crochet of course and that’s what I feel the most comfortable doing but I think it’s good to do things that you aren’t as confident in so you can grow! The Mae Flower Knit Cowl was one of those things!
The Mae Flower Knit Cowl is super beginner friendly. Like “if you have never knit before beginner friendly”. If you are a crocheter like me I would love to see you give this a shot and learn along with me! 🙂
I made a video tutorial to walk new knitters through this pattern. If you are familiar with knitting you can definitely make The Mae Flower Cowl without any visual help.
The Mae Flower Cowl is also really fast to work up. It uses super bulky yarn and large needles so this can be made up in about half an hour if you are an experienced knitter!
One of my favorite parts about this cowl is how versatile it is! Don’t have the right size needles? No worries, just size down and cast on a couple more stitches when you start. Only have bulky yarn instead of super bulky? No problem! You can just use slightly smaller needles and add more stitches! It’s really easy to adjust.
I’m a little blown away over the love I have received for the crochet ghost amigurumi! I don’t crochet many stuffed animals or dolls so this was a nice surprise that so many people loved it! Should I keep making more? 🙂
This particular ghost is very easy to make. I love that I decided to use blanket yarn so that It would work up large and squishy! You can use any blanket yarn you have available to you. I recommend using one that is a Super Bulky (6) weight.
It’s also super fun to customize your ghost. I’ll show you how I made my ghost face but you can always change it up too! Make a different mouth shape, have the eyes open or closed…so many options to make it unique!

I wanted even a very beginner to be able to make this pattern so I made a full video tutorial! You can find it on my YouTube Channel here, or just scroll down!
Are you ready to make the easiest crochet cowl EVER? No joke, this cowl is fast, beginner friendly and even comes with a video tutorial!
I love being able to work with bulky yarn. There’s just something so satisfying about seeing your piece work up so quickly. And it’s even extra satisfying when you only have to use 1 skein!
I used Lion Brand + Two Of Wands new yarn “Hue + Me”. If you haven’t been able to try it out yet you need to get your hands on some! It comes in so many beautiful colors. I was able to try out a bunch of them and love them all!
This cowl is very beginner friendly. It would be perfect for somebody attempting their first project. They are also great to whip up really fast to sell at craft shows. Or maybe you have an online Etsy shop where you sell your finished work? These would be perfect for you!
I have another really quick beginner friendly pattern and tutorial if you enjoyed this one. Check out the Market Mitts written pattern here or the Market Mitts video tutorial here!
The Streetlight Cardigan pattern has been a big hit! I’ve had some requests to turn it into a video tutorial so of course I obliged.
You can find the free pattern here on my blog! It’s also available as a kit with Lion Brand! I recommend printing out the pattern and following along with my video!
The Streetlight Cardigan video tutorial will be split up into 4 parts. Part one covers the back panel. The second video covers the front panels. Part three will go over how to make the sleeves and the last video will show how to sew it together and add trim!
