Extra Credit: Amour Crochet Hooks
Amour Crochet Hooks By Shannon and Jason View at our website From the first crochet patterns we published to our three latest crochet books Crochet Geometry, Designer Crochet, and Complete Crochet Course, Clover Amour Crochet Hooks have been in our hands all the way.

Stitch Guide
Stitch Guide with Instructor Steve Butler Class 156 View at our website What is it? Ever watch an accomplished sewer lay down a line of stitches? It’s always perfectly straight or curved as desired. It looks easy, right? Well, easy until you drop the presser foot and the stitching begins. Then the skills of said sewist become glaringly evident. There’s nothing automatic about perfect straight or curved seams. It takes years of honing those skills to be proficient. And absent those skill enhanced perfect seams our sewn projects will constantly remind us, “It could have been better.” And…

Memorial Day Keychain with Beading Loom
Memorial Day is all about shining the light on our fallen soldiers and remembering their sacrifice. Our freedoms are directly intertwined with their strength and willingness to put their lives on the line for us, and because of that, I believe we should be forever grateful. To honor them, I decided to create a beading pattern that can be converted into a keychain, wreath pin, or brooch. As we pay our respects on this upcoming memorial day, I hope that you can reflect and appreciate the people that made the…

Beacon Hill Pillow Cover Crochet Pattern
Who loves bobbles? I know I do so I regularly make things with squishy bobbles. They add amazing texture to projects and are so easy to do. This fun pillow cover pattern comes in three sizes, 16, 18 and 20″, and works up quickly with a big hook and super bulky yarn. This is the companion to a popular blanket pattern I released a few months ago. A lot of my testers mentioned wanting a matching pillow cover so I whipped one up. I have somehow never made a crochet…

Mini Iron II: “The Adapter Set”
Mini Iron II: The Adapter Set with Instructor Steve Butler Class 152 View at our website What is it? First of all, why do we call it a “mini iron”? Because of its diminutive size? Yeah, pretty much. But that name is a true misnomer. Even though labeled as “mini”, the small size really packs a punch and makes it one of the most useful notions in any sewing or crafting studio. It’s simple, our pressing stations need to keep pace with the almost explosive growth of sewing and craft techniques and applications we see today. Let’s…
