I’m a bad, bad blogger, folks. I forgot to make a blog post about my pattern at MyHobbyIsCrochet!! This is a great little motif that can be used on its own to make hotpads, dishrags, or star shapes for a blanket. Worked with several stitches it can be a blanket unto itself. In other news,…

I’m so excited about this!! I’ll be releasing three guest posts at Kinga Erdem’s popular crochet blog. The first is a scarf pattern that uses a 6.0mm hook and Einband Lopi – a laceweight yarn. Go check it out!!  

Today I thought I’d give some press to a few groups on Facebook. It’s nice to get together with other folks and the internet gives us the ability to do that at 2am, in our underwear, tea in hand if we so desire. Some of these groups are HUGE and have over 100,000 members, so…

Like I said in my last post, I love a good roadtrip. Three years ago before Nick’s dad got sick, we all piled in the truck and had a Griswold vacation to Omaha. We always said we’d love to return because we had a good time and it didn’t feel like we were there long…

I just came back from another road trip!! I love to travel. I love living out of my suitcase. I love not always knowing where I’ll end up the next day. I’m not a resort person or a guided tour person. Being served pink drinks with umbrellas in them in an artificial environment isn’t for…

Entrelac is probably my favourite way to work Tunisian crochet. Since corner-to-corner blankets are very popular, I thought I would photograph a short tutorial showing how to do them. For this demonstration I used an 8.0mm hook and one skein each of Red Heart Super Saver in Aran Fleck and Blue Fleck.

It’s true – I am!!  That is just heaps of fabulosity 🙂 Mistie is a great lady for featuring us on her blog. This is my first time actually doing social networking and I’m thrilled to bits to be participating in things instead of holding my breath and watching from the sidelines. She’s also hosting…

I have been terribly, terribly lax on my social sharing, folks. I apologize. I don’t go into the groups often enough and when I do, I get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of posts to read and play catch-up with, so a lot of the times I just sneak back out. It is time to…

If you don’t know what that Internet acronym means, then you live under a rock. Gauge is most definitely not a lovely piece of Arabic flatbread that wraps everything up in a nice, warm hug. BUT It can definitely be a fickle creature, with its own whims. Damnit!!! So what do you do when gauge…

So when my little yarn buddy died at the end of March, I didn’t much feel like doing anything with yarn. It’s been weird doing anything at home this month, because Bruiser was such a character and a big part of the family. Before you get ready to tell me “It’s just a cat.” –…
