Remember THIS blogpost? Yes, I’m still in a rose-kind of mood. Now my thoughts are definitely going towards Mother’s Day. I’m planning on making a nice little (or big – depending on the amount of time I have…) bouquet of roses for my mom: the crochet kind! This way she can enjoy them a lot longer than their living plant counter-parts! And some of the crochet patterns I’ve found are just as lovely as the real thing. So make your momma happy and get crocheting them roses!
Happy Crocheting!

One Paisley Pig: Crochet Pattern Designer!
She has been knitting and crocheting for over 25 years. Occasionally she makes finished pieces for customers, but she focuses most of her time designing new patterns for others to make themselves.
In her shop you will find a wide variety of crochet designs: from baby boots to lip balm covers and from home furnishings to scarfs and shawls! It was quite difficult to find my favorites and to give an impression of her many different sorts of patterns! So scroll down for a small portion of the wonderful crochet goodness she has to offer in her shop!
My personal favorite is the baby mountain hiking boots (second photo!). I made these for a mountain-climbing friend’s baby. They turned out so cute! I will link to the photo as soon as I can! 🙂
Alice in Wonderland Crochet Patterns!
The Thought Spot reviewed the crochet patterns in this book like this: “A feast for crocheters and readers combined. Adorable and fun! 5 stars!”. Certainly a warm endorsement for the amigurumi creatures that were inspired by that classic book of Lewis Carroll: Alice In Wonderland!
The designs are most suitable for intermediate to advanced crocheters. The instructions for these eighteen creations are clear and well-illustrated.
Ofcourse Alice, with her blond hair is most prominent! But also the other characters from this famous tale are included: the White Rabbit, the King and Queen of Hearts, the Caterpillar and his mushroom perch, the Dodo, the Mad Hatter and Dormouse, and (ofcourse!) the grinning Cheshire Cat. Also patterns for a variety of accessories are presented: the teapot and cups for the mad tea party; a flamingo mallet, hedgehog ball, and playing-card arch for a game of croquet, a rose bush with red and white blossoms, and a cake and bottle to provide Alice’s transformations in size.
So transport yourself to wonderland and get cracking on these wonderful and familiar characters! Scroll down to get a nice impression of the patterns contained in this book!
