As we start getting closer to summer I always find myself gravitating towards crochet projects made with cotton yarn. There is just something about working with cotton yarn that feels summery to me. I think part of it is the fact that it isn't really a yarn you use for warmth so it isn't used as much for cold weather accessories and winter projects.

Often making one project ends up being the thing that inspires another project. Sometimes it is something like making a stuffed animal and thinking about how I could change something simple like the ear shape to turn it into another animal. Other times it is something like is the case with this project where the stitch pattern that I use in a project makes me want to try it in another project.
