Pins By Shannon and Jason A quick glance at Clover’s website will show a plethora of items made just for marking fabric and projects…literally dozens. GAH! Where to start?

Crochet a Beaded Bracelet
I’ve been very interested in experimenting with crochet beading lately. I have been incorporating beads into my work for a few months now, and it was only a matter of time before I started pulling it into my comfort craft.
