Pin wheel card with crochet edging

Here is a lovely pin wheel card that just makes you smile when you see it.


Credits:
-I crocheted the edging through the card with the Sharp Crochet Hook, no prepoking holes! Just crochet through the paper in one easy step.
-The papers are from SEI.
-The blue string is Red Heart size 10 crochet thread.
-I used the tutorial found here to make the pinwheel. Thank you Lil' Inker Designs for showing me how to do that!

Chevron style handmade card with crochet edging

Here is my latest Sharp Crochet Hook creation- the yellow, white, and gray chevron style "Love You!" handmade card.

You can use the Sharp Crochet Hook to crochet right through the paper to crochet any shape you want. The yellow chevron style zig-zag pattern was made using Red Heart size 3 crochet thread and the scallop edging in white was done with Red Heart size 10 crochet thread.

Crochet through ribbon with the Sharp Crochet Hook

I am always amazed at what people use the Sharp Crochet Hook for. Here is a great idea you might not have thought of- crocheting through ribbon!

There are several ideas for crocheting ribbon on the Bowdabra Blog.

You could use the concept of crocheting edgings on ribbon to wrap a present, add embellishment to a scrapbook page, make a hair bow for a girl, make a bracelet, make straps for a custom made purse, etc. The possibilities are endless!

Crochet Edging on Baby Socks with "Love and Laundry"

These cute baby socks with the lovely crochet edging are from a blog called Love and Laundry. She used the Sharp Crochet Hook to crochet through the socks for the first round and then a "normal" crochet hook to finish up the rest. Aren't they darling?

Check out Love and Laundry for wonderful project ideas and tutorials! This is one of my favorites (besides the cute baby socks of course)- the full tutorial is here:
*Maybe you could change the words to "I like BIG BALLS and I cannot lie" and use the tote to carry your balls of YARN!

Thanks for the wonderful review of Sharp Crochet Hook. Visit Love and Laundry and thank her for the tutorial! You can find her on facebook here.
