Our bookshelves have filled with books of instructions for the cutest ever crocheted flowers, leaves, and other motifs. What can we do with all those sweet little things? We can make Crochet Charm Lace, a beautiful lacy cloth that uses up our yarn leftovers of all weights and textures.
The best things about Crochet Charm Lace:
- You can make projects in any shape and size.
- You can use up leftover yarns and reduce your stash.
- You can mix together all kinds of yarns and weights of yarn.
- Other than trying for a “firm” gauge, gauge is unimportant.
I teach a 3-hour workshop about Crochet Charm Lace, where we make a small table mat, like this Forget-Me-Not project. To book the workshop, please email me at knitandcrochetwithsuzann at outlook dot com. Or click on Crochet Charm Lace in the categories menu in the sidebar at your right, and find lots of how-to and examples.
Here are more Crochet Charm Lace projects, and you can read a lot more
