I was shocked and saddened to hear of the death of one of my all time favorite musicians and performers, Prince. To celebrate his life and music, I’ve done a crochet photo pattern of him which you can find HERE. There’s a color chart at the end of the pattern that includes shades in several colors, including PURPLE. So yes, …

Now that your crochet photo pattern masterpiece is finished and has a border, it’s time to frame it. I’ve added another article to my Crochet Photo Pattern Tips and Tricks series that explains how easy it is to do. Check out the full article HERE.
I’ve written elsewhere on this blog about how it’s possible to set up a crochet portrait or photo art business that lets you sell pieces you create from customers’ personal photographs. One of my pattern customers, Nora Ashley, has done just that. I asked Nora if I could interview her about her business, and she gladly agreed. When did you first learn …
Both my customers and I have been working steadily to complete a number of crochet photo pattern pieces. I’m so pleased with how they turned out that I wanted to share them with you. (All photos are used with permission) Nora Ashley loves doing graphghans and prefers to work with my patterns instead of using a graph. She has also …
I have teamed up with my crochet buddy, Rhelena of Crochet N’ Crafts, to offer this free crochet photo pattern of my house cat, General Mew. You’ll find it exclusively on Rhelena’s site, ready for immediate download. It took me forever to capture the General in this photo as she likes to stretch out on the floor and expose her tummy …
I receive a wide variety of photos from crocheters who want a custom-made crochet photo pattern based on a personal photo. Many times the photos are clear and crisp with excellent lighting; other times I get photos that are fuzzy, blurry, and have stray marks on them. The photo your crochet photo pattern is based on can make or break …
I decided to create a “practice” crochet photo pattern that’s even simpler to do than the Heart, Ladybug, and Big Butterfly patterns you’ll find among the free crochet photo patterns on this blog. This newest pattern is … yes … another butterfly. I love these delicate, little creatures! Despite its size (20 rows and 20 stitches), the pattern will give you all of …
You may have been wondering where I was during the month of July. To be honest, I just didn’t feel like writing. It has been so hot here and sitting in front of the computer was not something I felt like doing. But now that the weather has cooled down a bit (thanks to two approaching hurricanes – YIKES!), I …
Now that I’ve finished the lacy crochet tunic which I just HAD to do, I am again working on my crochet photo patterns. In addition to doing a piece for a good friend who got married last year (yeah, I know, I’m a little late with the gift giving), I am adding more information to this blog to help you create …
80 rows x 72 stitchesI started this piece sometime in late 2013 and thought I would be finished by the beginning of the New Year. Unfortunately, the flu and two bouts of bronchitis kept me from completing it until now. During that sick time, I simply didn’t feel like crocheting, but for some reason I wasn’t averse to knitting. Go …
I wanted to have a crochet photo pattern ready for Valentine’s Day. But when I finally found a really nice photo to base the pattern on, I knew it would be impossible for anyone to finish the piece before February 14, unless they worked on it 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Then I thought, “Why not create …
