I do not crochet but these are lovely projects. I have someone who wants to teach me but first I have to pick up my hook and yarn :) Hope to do that soon. I would love to learn as it seems a relaxing art.

I love the crochet basket with handles, but when I click, I go to a Spanish written page with nothing that looks like instructions. Then I click another link on that one that took me to a Portuguese written facebook page again with no instructions. While I enjoyed my language tour, do you have a link to the instructions for that fabric basket with handles? I’m kind of obsessed with it!

  Hi! Sorry about the translation issues. I linked to it because there was a crochet diagram for the basket. There isn’t a written pattern but I think the diagram is pretty international. Here’s a little larger link to that diagram so you can see it better – http://www.siuke.es/2013/01/patron-cesto-rectangular-crochet.html. I hope that helps!

Yes that is exactly what I wanted. I must not have gone far enough on the page. Thanks for your extra effort. I teach a crocheting class for 4th and 5 th grade during the school year and a few will be able to make some of these without my help!

I’m also having problems with the basket with handles. I clicked on the additional link you provided then clicked to translate to english. The paragraph above the pattern translated as did the comments. However, the pattern itself is still in Spanish. ??
Thanks!

Hi,
I have been looking on your site for 2 hours trying to find instructions for the different shaped frames. ARG, I just may be blind lol. Can you please help me. I just found very old family pictures, you know the kind where nobody smiles, and I would like to make the frames, make copies of pictures and make for my children. I think this would be an absolutely WONDERFUL way to remember all family members. Instead of writing names on a tree do it with pictures.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Patti

  Hi Patti!
  Sorry you had trouble with the frames – it looks like the website that had those isn’t around any longer. Would these be close enough to what you are wanting to do? http://web.archive.org/web/20130111225002/http://ideasmag.co.za/craft-decor/crocheted-frames There are several patterns there to choose from.
  Hope that helps!
