Meet Junior Egg. He likes to sit in his nest of yarn - or hang from a twig or a tree. The Junior Egg pattern is free!
Easter Crochet pattern - Junior Egg
 
About 10 days ago the kids and I played with paper and cardboard and we came up with an egg with legs because it was pretty easy for me to draw and cut out, while the kids put colors on the legs and glued them on the eggs.

Then I thought. Why not make a crochet version? So, her it is :)

Latvian Twist - or Twisted Stitch Edge - is a knitting technique for creating a lovely border. I have seen knitters doing it, but never a crocheter. So I tried it, and you can use it, when you crochet.


It takes advantage of the natural curling of a crocheted work and it will also help you prevent the rolling of the rest of your work.

Crochet. Avoid an ugly slip knot in the beginning of your work
This might be the tiniest advice ever, but wouldn't you like to get rid of the knot you get, when you start a new project?


You probably start with a slip knot and pull it tight. Then you have a little hard knot in the corner of your work. It doesn't add anything good to your work and can be difficult to hide - even if making a border - as it is always trying to run away and stick out.

www.stonegnome.com is getting a new look. The old template had different issues, I wanted to solve. Hopefully the new one will give you a better experience. At least for mobile users, it should be an improvement.

 
I'll probably be working on fixing bugs the next week or two, but if you find any major issues, let me know anyway! Minor issues might disappear within these two weeks. If not, get in touch.

You can contact me here or on facebook.
