Nothing makes a house more like a home than filling it with your own personal touchesand what better way to do that than with crochet? Even if you dont have a ton of time to dedicate to yarn and hook, a few well-chosen handmade accessories will go a long way toward personalizing your abode.
Whats more, handstitched home accents are the perfect way to freshen up your existing dcor if its gotten a little tired; they also add tons of life to basic, inexpensive pieces. Go ahead and buy that boring sofa you find on sale, because all you need are a few crocheted throw pillows or one stellar afghan to make it look like a million bucks.
When it comes to livening up your home, theres nothing more important than color.
