The Best Types of Yarn for Crochet Blankets: A Beginner's Guide

With the summer almost at an end and the promise of cold weather on the horizon, it's time to start looking at fall/winter projects. And there's nothing quite like curling up under a handmade crochet blanket. Whether you're making a baby blanket, a cozy throw, or a king-size masterpiece, choosing the right yarn is one of the first decisions you'll need to make.

The best yarn for your project depends on who the blanket is for, how often it will be used, and how much care you're willing to put into it. So let's explore the most popular yarn types and their pros and cons.

The Really Crafty Link Party is still taking a break!

It's Monday again, and I'm very glad you're visiting! However, just like last week I will not be hosting the party this week either, as we are still making the most of our summer break.

I have some posts scheduled on the blog, but I'm focusing mostly on my family until the end of the month.

The Really Crafty Link Party will be back on August 31st and then you will be able to share everything that you're working on or that inspired you during these weeks.

Friday Favorites: Galerie Magazine

Hello, and welcome! It's been a while since I've shared one of these posts, but I wanted to mention here another of my favorite sites/magazines: Galerie Magazine.

If you love beautiful homes, inspiring interiors, and incredible art, Galerie Magazine is worth checking out, as it brings together the best in design, architecture, and beautiful living. I may never have the chance to live or even visit one of those houses, but I still love looking at them. There isn't such a thing as too much inspiration, is there?

Easy & Cute DIY Bookmark

...made with leftover cardstock, stickers and embroidery floss...

While these days I mostly read on my Kindle, my kids (especially my daughter) read a lot of physical books every summer and always like to have "special" bookmarks for them.

The Really Crafty Link Party is taking a short break!

It's Monday again, and I'm very glad you're visiting, but I will not be hosting the party this week as we are taking a short summer break before school (and work) starts again.

I still have some posts scheduled on the blog, but I will be focusing mostly on my family over the next couple of weeks.

The Really Crafty Link Party will be back on August 31st and then you will be able to share everything that you're working on or that inspired you during the next few weeks.
