Introducing the Diagonal Bobbles Blanket. If you’ve been following my Facebook page, you’ve inevitably seen this blanket in process. It popped up every once in a while after I spent an evening working on it. The pattern worked up exactly as I envisioned it. Rows of gentle diagonals create a subtle design and fantastic texture.… Continue reading Diagonal Bobbles Blanket – Free Pattern
I’m sure it’s not a surprise to anyone that I’m new at this whole blog thing. I actually started my site about a year ago, but recently I have been doing more research into what it takes to have a successful blog. (Am I supposed to admit this on my blog??) Research aside, something has… Continue reading Clouds = Beautiful Pictures
I sat down the other evening to track a week’s worth of weather for my temperature blanket. I logged on to my computer, found the monthly weather view and wrote it down. I really couldn’t remember it being 66 degrees and snowy on my daughter’s birthday, but the computer said it was 66 and I… Continue reading A Beautiful Oops
A year and a half ago, my husband installed new hardwood floors throughout the first floor. We finally removed all of the ugly pink carpet. The floor has character. It’s beautiful. We refuse to cover it up. With four little ones around the house, I decided that just maybe I would make a small rug… Continue reading The Almost Rug
Weaving in ends (A poem with a nod to Dr. Seuss) Weave in ends, weave in ends, I do not like weaving in ends. I will not weave them here or there I will not weave them anywhere. I do not like weaving in ends. I do not like it no matter when. Try it?… Continue reading In Like a Lion – March 2018 Temperature Blanket
We did it! We’ve gotten to the last part of my very first crochet along. I will never be able to say that again! Maybe you’re not over the moon about this, but I am! I hope this is the first of many projects we do together. If you would like a PDF of this… Continue reading Circus Star CAL – Part 4 (Final Part)
It’s two weeks later again and another block has been released for the Moogly CAL: the Purple Plaid Square by Hooked For Life. As you can see below, my square isn’t purple, but it is plaid. Many of these squares put together would make a continuous plaid pattern, but because I am only using this… Continue reading A Learning Opportunity
I finished my fuzzy blanket made with Bernat Mix Baby yarn. I went for a subtle pattern, and I really like it! I think this type of blanket would be perfect for a tummy time blanket for little ones. The different textures will give them the perfect stimulation. Read more about projects I have done… Continue reading Fuzzy Diagonals Baby Blanket – Free Pattern
I was in elementary school when I decided that one of my favorite color combinations was purple and orange. It still doesn’t disappoint. I’ve just finished my Circus Star Blanket (you have to wait until next week to see it…), and I still love purple and orange together! To be honest, I didn’t pick this… Continue reading Circus Star CAL – Part 3
I went to Michael’s the other day for yarn to finish a project (I never buy enough and then end up getting too much!), but they didn’t have what I was looking for. It would have been wrong to walk out the door empty handed with a coupon in hand, right? Of course I bought… Continue reading Eclectic Yarn
