When you crochet with it, it magically becomes perfect for all sorts of things. So I think of it as a “cord that you can either use for macramé knotting or for crochet”.
Our wonderful graphics department is always extremely busy, but when I suggested giving our Red Heart lovers some gift tags they responded enthusiastically! The 10 designs that they have come up with are perfect for all the hand-made items that I have in the works. We hope you will enjoy using them for your gifty creations!
Isn’t it wonderful how knitters and crocheters can make gifts that are a bit more personal and unique than store bought?! One of my favorite ways to give bottles of wine is to dress them up a bit with a knit or crochet bottle topper. These bottle garments are perfect to have on hand for last minute invitations and get-togethers during the holiday season.
