I’m loving crocheting baby blanket. I mean LOVE! I’ve already finished 2 of them (in blue and light teal) and now I’m working on 2 more. This purple and white one is almost finished. I only need one or two more row sections of the purple before I can work on the border. But I ran out of the purple yarn. So …
Mikey’s Mystery Crochet Along: Final Clue
I was right! It’s a giraffe! The last clue was the body. It’s probably a good idea that it was last because it would’ve totally given away what ruminant this was. I’ve sewn the head on a little bit sideways but from this angle he looks cute. And the legs are sewn on so-so. They’re not sturdy at all (maybe …
Mikey’s Mystery Crochet Along: Clue #3
The next set of clues are out and surprise, surprise, they weren’t the body. But even so, I still think this little guy is going to be a giraffe. This week we created 12 spots and a tail. There’s also details to finish embroidering the face but I’m waiting until I finish putting this toy together to complete the face. …
Mikey’s Mystery Crochet Along: Clue #2
I was really hoping that clue #2 would be the body so that I can really dig my heels in and call this ruminant a giraffe. But now I’m not so sure. Clue #2 were the legs and the ears. I’m trying my hardest not to search every corner of the web to figure out what this could possibly be. …
Mikey’s Mystery Crochet Along
I’ve always wanted to take part in a crochet or knit along and this past weekend when I spotted one from Mikey with Red Heart, I couldn’t pass it up. Every Tuesday for the month of April they’ll be releasing a section of the pattern to crochet. So you won’t know what it’ll be until the final week of April. …
WIP Wednesdays
It’s been a while since I’ve had an update on my current projects and in all honesty there aren’t that many. There are many projects I want to knit and crochet but when I’m crocheting I feel like I should be knitting and when I’m knitting I want to be crocheting. This leads to progress being very slow. But there …
Crocheted Border
Now that I can finally crochet, I’ve been wanting to add edges to my knit items. A nice scalloped edge to my baby blankets to begin and then when I learn new techniques I can add more intricate borders. But before I can add any borders, I need to see what it would look like on a smaller scale. Because …
Crocheted Granny Squares
I love granny squares. I’m completely obsessed right now. I have a handful of knitting projects on the go and yet all I want to do is crochet granny squares. Squares that have no particular purpose or no project which they are meant for. I just want to have a stack of granny squares. Let me explain. Last week I …
