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)
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 picked up some Peaches & Creme cotton yarn and Red Heart Scrubby yarn from Walmart the other day. I knew I’d be making dishcloths, I just didn’t know what they’d look like! Does that ever happen to you? Or do you only buy yarn when you have a project in mind? I think we… Continue reading Double Duty Dishcloth
I finally did it! I had a vision for a star square, and after a couple of weeks of working on it off and on, I’m finished! I can’t wait to make this patriotic square into a full blanket! Below is the free pattern. If you have any questions or find any errors, let me… Continue reading Patriotic Star Square
It’s probably no secret. I’m trying to make something out of this blog. I’m slowly learning the blogging ropes. They say in crochet blogs, you have to produce patterns to get traffic. I’m working on it. I stood in the yarn aisle at Michael’s a few weeks ago, and inspiration struck. Not only did I… Continue reading A Tall Order

My short, little dog can’t even use the bathroom unless we shovel him a spot. Ah, snow! In Western PA, we don’t get a lot of sunshine between November and April. Today I decided to make my… Continue reading I’ve Got Sunshine on a Snowy Day
It’s a new year. It’s a new project: Temperature blanket 2018. In my previous posts, I’ve outlined how the blanket works. I do a square for each day of the year which corresponds to the high temperature. I decided to make mine a little more complicated. The middle circle is white because we got some… Continue reading Day 1: Temperature Blanket
The seventh scarf of my scarf challenge is a ribbed scarf. I couldn’t find a pattern that was exactly what I was looking for, so I wrote my own. The name was inspired by the color of yarn that I chose. It looked exactly like a Snowy Owl to me. Do you see it? The… Continue reading Scarf 7: The Snowy Owl Scarf and Headband
A while ago a friend of mine left a bunch of yarn on my porch. What better gift is there than a pile of yarn?! I knew from the moment that I saw the Lion Brand Homespun that it would become a scarf. I pulled it out and sat down thinking I knew what I… Continue reading Scarf 3: Quick V-Stitch Scarf
I’ve never done a pattern before, so bear with me. This blanket is not original or unique. It doesn’t have any surprises, but it is one I’ve done time and time again. It works up quickly and it is join as you go, so there are no squares to sew together in the end. It… Continue reading The Color Block Blanket (Free Pattern)
