Learn how to read written crochet patterns

Okay so I haven't made any posts since that first "maybe I'm coming back" post lol. But here's a post!!

All december I've been making videos for my new Youtube series teaching people how to read written crochet patterns. I know a ton of people learned crochet via youtube over the last couple of years, but haven't moved beyond video tutorials, so I thought this was a good place for me to start making videos!

None of the videos teach HOW to crochet, only how to read patterns. I've been utilizing my older, free patterns, and rewriting them (big time improvements) for people to follow along with while watching the videos. There's no hand holding from me, you just gotta get in there!

I've made 4 videos so far and I'm planning to make 2-4 more. Haven't decided entirely yet! You can view all 4 of them here.

One of the videos is for my tiny pumpkin earrings. :)

But yeah, go check it out (and tell your friends)! And please subscribe to me on youtube :)

I've added several more videos since this post :)

I started rewatching the Dr Who reboot with my husband a year or two ago. I originally watched it week to week, back in the day, with my mom. But we ended up never continuing after Matt Smith left. Not on purpose, we just sorta drifted away from it and then never went back.

Well, tonight my husband and I watched the last Matt Smith episode. Made me sad. But we plan to continue watching, so it's all new for me from here on!

...what year is this again? 😂

Reintroducing myself to tumblr

Hi. I've been gone for many years, but I'm making a comeback. I think? I dunno. It's hard to go back into a space you grew out of. I guess I'm testing the waters.

I'm Lisa, I crochet cute ass patterns, here are a few:

My website is hellohappy.net, I blog there, and sell my patterns there, plus post free patterns occasionally. I've got all of my links to everything on my pinned post.

So uh, hey.

[hellohappyshop]

Thinking about coming back? Maybe?

But undecided lol

Free crochet pattern/embroidery tutorial - flower meh hoop

Free crochet pattern/embroidery tutorial – flower meh hoop

The other day I felt really burnt out after making 2 llama planters (amigurumi is the bane of my existence), so I decided to take a little creative break. After I finished making the totoro hoop a couple of weeks ago (now a couple of months as of this posting time, whoops), I wanted to make something else with the other 4″ hoop I had left, but couldn’t decide what to do with it. So while I was…

Free Crochet pattern: Giraffe Baby Rattle (plus kitty!)

Hey guys, I’m finally back with a new post! It’s been forever arrrgh. So this new free pattern is for something a bit unusual for HELLOhappy, but I had a friend request a surprise baby item for his wife (well they’re both my friends, since elementary school!), and this is what I came up with! He told me she was doing an african animal theme, and she was especially into giraffes.

Free Crochet Pattern: Kitty Coin Purse

Free Crochet Pattern: Kitty Coin Purse

Hey guys, I’ve got a new free crochet pattern for you today! It’s a cute little kitty coin purse. I made this for myself, so I didn’t take very many in-progress photos, but I DID take detailed enough notes that I could share it! So apologies for that, but you’ll have to figure it out without photos. I also am not including instructions on how to sew on the doily, or how to sew on the zipper etc.…

I don't give a knit tote bag & more

I don’t give a knit tote bag & more

Boom! 3 new tote bags are up at etsy! I don’t give a knit! This tote bag just makes me want to shout! And it has a sister: No knits given. The only hard part is deciding which bag is more *you* Of course, if neither of these is your thing, you probably won’t appreciate this one either: Whisper knotty things to me, bahahaha. I thought this one up right after I got out of bed a couple days ago. “I…
