    Tree with a Cauldron of Felted Bats

    Hello My Name is Dulce, since I was a little kid  I have always been interested in creative projects.

The first time I picked up a crochet hook was about the age of 8 when I told my mother I wanted to learn. She seemed to immerse and enjoy herself into creating beautiful patterns after a long day’s work with just some yarn and a crochet hook. So as a child I wanted…

I’ve always wanted to try a traditional Courthouse…

    Hello! It’s Jennifer Ryan, the designer and blogger behind Celtic Knot Crochet. I am excited to be sharing another mandala project here on the Clover blog!
