Admirable Crocheters: The Loopy Stitch

Beautiful projects, tutorials and more from an Australian crochet blogger.

Head on over to The Loopy Stitch.  Great use of colour, modern crochet, lovely eye candy.  It's a fairly new blog (I can't talk...) but looks very promising and worth following.

Not sure of her username on Ravelry, but happy to add it here...

Unusually for most Australian crocheters...

Admirable Crocheters: the basics of crocheting with Arne and Carlos

If you'd like some lovely Scandinavian crocheting chaps to show you how to crochet a snowflake, here's the video (in which they do aim to accommodate both UK and US crochet terminology):



You can find more Arne and Carlos goodness including free patterns (some crochet, some knitting) on their blog:

I have their book, Knit and Crochet Garden, which is full of beautiful patterns (except for the dolls, I don't find myself at all drawn to their dolls.  Something about the way they do faces...).  If you're buying the book, check the edition (published in UK vs published in US) if you want to be particular about having UK or US terminology.

Admirable Crocheter: Lucy of Attic24

If you like crochet, and have been paying any attention at all for the last while, you can't have missed Lucy of Attic24.  She lives in Skipton in Yorkshire, and has a huge following.

For the good reason that she's making cool stuff in joyful colours with careful, detailed photo tutorials and patterns, all generously free.  Neat ripple blanket, Blooming flower cushion, blankets and flowers and goodness, oh my.  She's started trends and encouraged others and is altogether admirable.  Modern crochet with a nod at the past and an eye to the present.  Crochet for creativity and to keep her family warm.

(And she writes crochet instructions in UK terminology, o happiness!)

She's on Ravelry, and there are also Rav groups of Lucy/Attic24 enthusiasts.
