Are you new to the Loop Stitch? - Or does your Loop Stitch work fall apart? :/
Here is a tutorial that works.

The Loop Stitch is a fun stitch to do and it gives you a great different texture, that can be used with all kinds of items. You decide whether you want the loops as they are, or if you want to cut them, when you are done.

Use the Loop Stitch for a rug, a pillow, amigurumi figures OR what about a Christmas beard?

Oh boy - it is getting cold outside!

So what to wear, when you want something special, fancy and warm - and fur isn't an option?

The Mini-Tube Scarf pattern got released yesterday on LoveCrafts.

Have a closer look there or right below.

Start a new row with a fake crochet stitch
Earlier I wrote about how to Start a New Row with a Fake Stitch.
Also called no-chain double crochet/treble crochet or chainless double crochet.

I've gotten more questions about this - especially for other stitches than double crochet.

So here is an elaboration on the subject.

What Inspires You?

I get inspired by a lot of different things. My 3½ year old boy often has great ideas. So do a lot of other crafty people around the world. One of the places, I collect inspiration, is Pinterest.

Feel free to follow me there, if you like.

I have an excellent new ribbing for you!

I've been playing around with the Top Stich and found a very, very neat way to make an awesome ribbing. I haven't seen it anywhere else. So I dare to call this NEW!
  • Is extremely flexible 
  • It has a very soft structure
  • And the stitch pattern looks great

What type of scarf do you want? One pattern fits all desires.

3 Skein Scarf at Stonegnome

My newest pattern works very well for both a warm winter scarf and a light summer scarf. Plus everything in between.

The pattern is perfect for crochet beginners as well as more trained crocheters.

It is available on my designer page at LoveCrafts (in English/Danish/German) as well as in Ravelry.

Use the Perfect Stitch Marker

Once in a while you work on something, were you need to count and count and count. Most of the time you are counting rows and sometimes you need to make sure, you do the increase/decrease or color change in the right place.


FYI: You don't need to count the same rows again and again.
