Tanya from <a href="http://www.littlethingsblogged.com/" target="_blank">Little Things Blogged</a> is one of those especially talented crocheters, always sharing <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ltblogged/" target="_blank">amazing snaps</a> of what's currently on her hook (or clicking on her knitting needles - did I mention she's also a wonderful knitter?).</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Recently Tanya was lovely enough to send me my very own exclusive copy of her first ever published book, "<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Home-Decoration-Crochet-Colourful-Brighten/dp/605919219X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1509083830&sr=1-1" target="_blank">Home Decoration in Crochet</a>" - A colorful book overflowing with 25 of the cutest designs!

Drawn to their simplicity and soothing, repetitive steps, I was also pleasantly surprised how easily adaptable the pattern was to my jar size (a recycled jar which originally held peaches in syrup).

Many of you may have heard by now that Australian summers are known for their stifling heat and humidity, making me especially grateful to live by the beach, as the cool sea breeze helps to ease the hot, lingering weather.<br /><br />When I think of summer, cotton sundresses and and comfortable sandals come to mind. Espadrilles have been around for hundreds of years, but recently they have swiftly made their way into every casual yet fashionable outfit thanks to their chic and stylish design. Freshly updated, these modern sandals pair perfectly with anything and everything, making them a versatile piece that belongs in every summer wardrobe!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UMunE9PASGE/WfAK3iq0RVI/AAAAAAAAMRE/t4uA21IO9PUMd2hY9PNPoUCDc5w6msoOgCLcBGAs/s1600/Copacabana%2BEspadrilles%2B-%2BReview%2B%252B%2BGiveaway%2B11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="1143" data-original-width="1600" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UMunE9PASGE/WfAK3iq0RVI/AAAAAAAAMRE/t4uA21IO9PUMd2hY9PNPoUCDc5w6msoOgCLcBGAs/s1600/Copacabana%2BEspadrilles%2B-%2BReview%2B%252B%2BGiveaway%2B11.jpg" title="Copacabana Espadrilles - Review + Giveaway" width="640" /></a></div><br />After I finished crocheting my “<a href="http://www.hopefulhoney.com/2017/05/wool-and-gang-wild-thing-rug-yarn.html" target="_blank">Wild Thing Rug</a>” by <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=3kFg7fmX5rY&offerid=479636.41&type=3&subid=0" style="font-family: 'josefin slab'; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;" target="_blank">Wool And The Gang</a> a couple of months ago, I was excited to hear they were releasing a brand new design that sounded fun and intriguing!

If you've tried out a few of my patterns over the last couple of years you may have noticed that plenty of my hat and baby bootie patterns use this clever approach to the standard manner of crocheting in the round.<br /><br /></div></div><span style="color: #322919; font-family: "josefin slab"; font-size: 17px;"><span style="color: #322919; font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUCNC4DTtwo" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">Crocheting in the spiral</a> is the technique of working in the round in a continuous manner, without joining the separate rounds with a slip stitch. You’ll notice how using this technique eliminates any trace of an unsightly seam, keeping your work nice and neat. It also creates a unique spiral design (thus the name), making it the perfect method to use when crocheting all those pretty beanies, sturdy baskets and beautiful rugs!</span></span><br /><span style="color: #322919; font-family: "josefin slab"; font-size: 17px;"><span style="color: #322919; font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;"><br /></span></span> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HgXPXXH8_VM/WelFfEvQMOI/AAAAAAAAMP4/FAgruCnKaRcUqEqCo0015dErNFWtq6vAgCLcBGAs/s1600/How%2BTo_%2BCrochet%2BIn%2BThe%2BSpiral%2B-%2BEasy%2BTutorial%2Bby%2BHopeful%2BHoney%2B6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="1143" data-original-width="1600" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HgXPXXH8_VM/WelFfEvQMOI/AAAAAAAAMP4/FAgruCnKaRcUqEqCo0015dErNFWtq6vAgCLcBGAs/s1600/How%2BTo_%2BCrochet%2BIn%2BThe%2BSpiral%2B-%2BEasy%2BTutorial%2Bby%2BHopeful%2BHoney%2B6.jpg" title="How To: Crochet In The Spiral - Easy Tutorial by Hopeful Honey" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="color: #322919; font-family: "josefin slab"; font-size: 17px;"><span style="color: #322919; font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;"><span style="color: #322919; font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;">Learning a new crochet technique always leaves me giddy with excitement and eager to try it out - How about you?

For this delicate design I knew I wanted to work it up in a light cotton with an airy stitch, helping to make this piece as soft and flow-y as an ocean breeze.<br /><br />While on the hunt for the perfect yarn, <a href="https://www.weareknitters.com/?utm_source=Blogpost&utm_medium=partnership&utm_campaign=HopefulHoney&utm_content=Oct2017" target="_blank">We Are Knitters</a> reached out and it wasn't long before we teamed up on this fun design as for the longest time I've been obsessed with the smoothness of their <a href="https://www.weareknitters.com/skeins-and-needles/skeins/the-pima-cotton?utm_source=Blogpost&utm_medium=partnership&utm_campaign=HopefulHoney&utm_content=Oct2017" target="_blank">pima cotton yarn</a>! If you've never heard of them before you must be living under a rock as they have a massive selection of the most beautiful fibres, kits and patterns ("The Wool" being a fave of mine)!.. Something for everyone, whether you're an absolute newbie or a crochet veteran.

Casual, chic and oh so comfy, the <a href="https://www.ilikecrochet.com/crochet-sweater-patterns/autumn-garden-sweater/?mqsc=OLKEN021215" target="_blank">Autumn Garden Sweater</a> ticks all the boxes.
