New in the Crochet Spot Store, this pattern uses size 10 thread to make light and lacy earrings. The earrings are designed with a subtle pinwheel flower in the center. Although the earrings have a dainty and delicate look, they still hold their shape well. For folks who prefer more solid and less flexible earrings, the earrings can easily be starched or stiffened.

I received an email a couple days ago from Laura, a Crochet Spot reader, who told me about a charity that she’s involved in called Bundles of Love. Bundles of love is a non-profit organization that collects and sends essential baby items, including crocheted items, to families who need them. What really got my attention wasn’t just the wonderful things that they do, but the tragic incident that recently happened to Bundles of Love. Here’s an excerpt from Laura’s email to tell you all about it:

This sock pattern is crocheted from the toe up to the leg in one piece so that no sewing is required! Indeed it is extremely adjustable, since it can be crocheted with any weight of yarn for any foot size you can imagine, from babies to adults, it’s all possible! You can adjust the length of your socks from ankle socks to knee highs. Also feel free to add more ribbing, as I know some folks would like it to start at the ankle. This pattern is not written in a conventional manner since it is extremely adjustable, so there are progressive photos that you can follow as you crochet.
