Crochet Goes Green!

GO GREEN! includes these 6 great patterns:

• New Wave Dishcloth by Jonna Ventura
• Framed Hooks Wall Display by Tanya Naser
• Zigzag Baby Blanket by Hannah Cross
• Green Tea Shawl by Julie-Sarah Desjardins
• Ally Market Bag by Pam Dajczak
• Dorm Pillow by Trish Warrick for Red Heart

I like to take small steps toward a greener lifestyle, and I think having reusable items is one of the easiest ways I can do just that. In fact, most of us use crochet in eco-friendly ways every day simply because we enjoy our work, and it’s a great, fulfilling feeling to have a purposeful use from something we’ve made! I’m sure I’m not alone, either; I’ve got crochet pot holders that are at least 10 years old, and a few market bags that have held up for more than 5!

We’ve got an exclusive design from Tanya Naser that’s just for your crochet hooks; it’s a clever framed piece that looks more like art work, as it allows you to display your hooks when you’re not using them. Another design we scored for you is a gorgeously textured dishcloth from Jonna Ventura; the definition on these beauties are fantastic, and they’re thick enough to use as pot holders, too!

Red Heart Yarns sent over a brand new, never-before-released pattern for a pillow; that’s a lovely idea to dress up a room in the exact colors you want! Next, we know everyone will appreciate the Ally Tote we snagged from Sincerely Pam, and we hope you love our two items that are Green (literally): the ZigZag afghan from Hannah Cross, and the Green Tea Shawl from TPP newcomer, Julie Desjardins!
