In addition to the larger washers I had in my stash, one of which I used to make a washer necklace, I also have a box of 100 1/4 inch washers I wanted to do something with. I’ve seen a lot of people paint washers with nail polish, but I wanted to try some different […]
Crocheted Storage Basket {Iron Craft Challenge}
This week’s Iron Craft challenge was to make something that could be used for storage. I’ve been crocheting a lot lately, making little bags, and the beginning of a bag looks like a basket, so I decided I wanted to make a crocheted storage basket.

I’ve been working on lots of little projects that I hope the kids this summer will enjoy, quick and easy things that will also help me use up little odd balls of yarn. I decided to make crochet chain jewelry because the chain is so basic and it’s important to be able to make an […]
