MOSAIC CROCHET A New Take on Colorwork • I have long been familiar with using the mosaic-knitting technique to create fancy graphic designs and have recently been exploring the use of this approach in crochet as well. It is a wonderful crochet colorwork technique that uses a single color per row and foundational crochet techniques (chain, single crochet, double crochet), making it very accessible to the adventurous beginning crocheter and interesting enough for the advanced crocheter.

Crochet for Good: SMALL PROJECTS, HUGE IMPACT • There are many factors that motivate yarn crafters to donate their handcrafted items to charitable causes. Inspiration may come from a personal experience, a particular passion for a specific cause, or a sense of civic duty in giving back and paying it forward. Whatever the reason or end goal, creating handmade items for charity can be extremely rewarding for both the donor and the recipient.
