CONTEST CLOSED. Winner is Stephanie G. from NJ! Congrats to you & thanks to everyone who entered!
I received a copy of Tamara Kelly’s new book for review – and I’m here to tell you all about it. These opinions are, as always, my own! Stick around: I have 1 book to give to 1 reader =)
If you crochet, you’re familiar with Moogly, or with Tamara, the person behind that name. If you are entirely new to crochet, go bookmark the website. Now. I’ll wait. Moogly is a great resource for crocheters of all levels. Tamara offers stitch tutorials, patterns, roundups, inspiration, etc; she is an excellent crochet teacher & designer, and I’m really happy to get to share the news of her all new book with you. =)
Quick crochet for the home by Tamara Kelly
With these 20 patterns, Tamara wants to help you elevate your living space from house to home. The book is divided into rooms, and each pattern includes tips to further inspire or simplify your creative process. The written instructions also feature charts, and a LOT of beautiful photos, so you’ll never wonder where you’re at.
Every project is imagined for quick completion, so you can enjoy it ASAP.
Here are a few of my favorites:
I absolutely *NEED* the Smart as a Fox bookends in my life. When you’re done making your own house cozy with these crocheted items, you’ll want to do the same to your friends’ homes.
A lot of these patterns would make awesome housewarming presents!

Love to do something for my living room first and then my kitchen
I would say my bathroom or kitchen first. 🙂
Hi Julie!
I think the room in my house is like to crochet for first would be the guest bathroom! It’s quite large compared to my master bathroom so I have a lot of room to fill and work with. Thanks!
I would decorate my living area first!
Would start with bedroom, as that tends to get the least attention – at least for crocheted items. And really could use a bed scarf for my bed to help keep the piggy toes warm in the winter months.
My family room would be the first one I would work on. That is the room where we spend most of our time and where I love to display items I’ve made by hand, with love. It makes the room feel more comfortable.
Hi Julie, I would start with the kids room first. I would love to make some storage solutions for all the toys under foot, and keep the room organized. Thank you for the opportunity 🙂

I actually previewed this book from the library and planning to get a copy to own – so many great projects. Some of my favorites included her pillows – perfect to add some color and texture to my bedroom without having to shell out a lot for a new duvet cover and other bedding. I also loved the kitchen items in the book – Loved the washcloths and trivet – Looking ahead to making some teacher gifts.
