The many questions and interest I have received about Coral Reef is amazing. I have searched and searched for knit Coral Reef pattern and have not had any luck.  SweaterBabes.com is showing us some of the Crochet Coral Reef Exhibit (Pictured). As you see in the wording it is “Crochet” I wanted to see some knitted-felted Coral Reef. Valerie of “Ruby’s Button Tin” has been doing some experimenting with knitting the Coral Reefs and I think she is doing a great job (pictured).  I did a posting on a few I did but did not write a pattern (pictured).  At a site titled “Archive” and there is a PDF file you can download that give you a good idea how these reefs are formed in crochet, but I think knitter could translate these into knits.

Crochet Tips And Tricks – E-book by Nicki’s Homemade Crafts

If you’ve been crocheting for a while, you probably think you’ve picked up most of the tricks already. That’s what I thought too—until I dove into Nicki’s Homemade Crafts Crochet Tips & Tricks E-book. Let me tell you, I was pleasantly surprised.

This isn’t your average “how to hold a hook” beginner guide. It’s packed with actually useful, hands-on advice that even seasoned crocheters will appreciate. I found myself nodding along with so many of the pages, thinking, “Why didn’t I know this sooner?”

One thing I really liked? It’s written in a super down-to-earth tone, like a fellow crocheter just sharing what works. No fluff, no overly technical jargon. Just smart, practical solutions to common crochet problems. From fixing tension issues to dealing with split yarn, the tips are straightforward and easy to apply.

Another standout? The layout is clean, with step-by-step instructions and lots of visual cues that make it easy to follow. You can flip to a section you need or read it front to back—it works either way. And it’s digital, so it lives on my tablet now for quick reference whenever I need a refresher.

But what really makes this e-book feel like a gem is the “aha” moments scattered throughout. Things like invisible joins that actually look invisible, tips to stop your yarn from tangling (IYKYK), and clever ways to weave in ends without the bulky bump. Even after years of crocheting, I walked away with new techniques that made my projects look cleaner and more polished.

I’d definitely recommend this for anyone who crochets regularly—especially if you’re tired of wasting time Googling scattered tutorials and just want everything in one place.
