Wildlife Snuggery Crochet Hanging Basket

Meet Leilani a Possum in the care of Kinjarling Marsupial Rescue.  When this Snuggery was hung in her enclosure Leilani was quick to snuggle up in it and that is how these crochet hanging baskets came to be called a "Snuggery".

Back Loop Crochet Project

Crochet into back loops creates a textured effect.

Today I'm bringing you a sneak peak on my current crochet project.


Sneak Peak: back loop crochet project

I'd hoped to have it finished by now, but it's not quite there yet so you'll have to just make do with this little teaser.

This is my first major crochet project working into the back-loops and I really love the textured effect it creates. It's so tactile.

      I didn't either but when you make a chain there is the 2 bits at the front and the bit at the back and instead of shoving your hook through those front bits you shove it through the back. Hmmm, maybe I should do a post about it....

    Great color combo! I love working in the back loop! The texture is so much more interesting than working in both loops. Looks great!
    Thank you for sharing with #FibeeTuesdays link party!
