I can’t get enough of the Personlized Baby Blocks Blanket. There are so many options of how to personalize it. This time I opted to do initials with sunbursts in the corner. You can buy the pattern here. But the Sunburst Square pattern is free here. This blanket was made for a little guy born… Continue reading Sunburst Square
Sponges or dishcloths? In my house it’s a little bit of both. I go through a time of buying sponges, then a time of using cloths. I don’t really have a favorite, though I love that each can be cleaned in their own way. This new dishcloth will save space on your sink by combining… Continue reading Butterfly Dishcloth (Free Pattern)
In the days of gift registries and gift cards, it is sometimes seen as rude to give something different. I, of course, don’t agree. And neither will the recipient of this blanket when they see how perfect it is for their child. This is the Personalized Baby Blocks Blanket. The pattern includes 28 different block… Continue reading A Special Gift for Baby
I have been working hard on a new pattern based on the Alphabet Blocks pattern (Personalized Baby Blocks Blanket, which will come out early next week). This has caused me to take another look at the Alphabet Blocks Baby Blanket pattern. In the initial pattern, the blocks in the first strip were written with backward… Continue reading Alphabet Blocks Revised
My first tutorial video is live! The Connecting Double Crochet is a stitch I use in many of my patterns including my soon-to-be-published Personlized Baby Blocks pattern. This stitch allows me to join strips or squares as I go instead of having to sew them all together later. The video contains instructions for the Connecting… Continue reading Connecting Double Crochet
So, I did this thing where I cleaned up the yarn in the living room. It became “out of sight, out of mind,” and I got two whole months behind on my temperature blanket. I got March done, and now I’m just one month behind! I have to say, I’ve really been enjoying this pattern.… Continue reading Spring is here
As I was typing the title to this blog post, I realized I’m one of those people who says “Sher-BERT.” Spell check told me I was wrong. I shouldn’t be surprised. Growing up we had an ice cream shop known for its soft-serve orange sherbet. You could get it alone or with vanilla twist. The… Continue reading Sherbet Blanket
My last post was on the Call the Midwife Blanket, but I had to post again because the pattern just does not disappoint! Today’s color way is Lion Brand Ice Cream Yarn Big Scoop Lemon Merengue. The previous was Mint. Both are beautiful and classic. And I have enough yarn leftover to make one more… Continue reading Call the Midwife…again!
Blog posts haven’t been quick in coming lately. I’m not working on anything new and exciting. I’ve been working on blankets for a pregancy center again. This one is in the Detroit, Michigan, area and is just starting up. I wasn’t sure if I should send my blankets outside our area, but it just seemed… Continue reading Comfy and Classic
A while ago I promised you a post about my amazing new yarn organization system. It turns out I’m not much of an organizer (most of you knew that already!) BUT I finally got enough done to share it with you. After looking at many options, we purchased this system on Amazon. It is a… Continue reading Spring Organization
