After scouring the internet for the PERFECT sock pattern, adding a TON of them to my Ravelry queue, and attempting 90% of them, I have finally experienced the success and JOY that comes with making a pair of socks!
That’s right -
My first pair of handmade socks!
I crocheted my socks, using this pattern.
I’ve just ordered more […]
So, I decided to peruse an old Crochet World magazine that’s been collecting dust in my pattern stash.
I haven’t read the pattern yet, but it’s from October 1987. I really like the girl’s Vest on the front cover. It looks to be made side-to-side, with a ribbing waistband added afterward.
Now, as a member of […]
For the past few weeks, it’s felt like everything I touch, relating to yarn, was turning to carp!
I went to Hobby Lobby the other day, bound and determined to make something for myself!
I think I was hit with severe sticker shock! I can’t remember the last time I had gone ‘general’ yarn shopping.
6 skeins of […]
I’ve been working on this pattern (Ravelry link) for a few days now, and it’s going well.
I haven’t had any huge froggings to deal with, which is always nice.
This is the largest item I’ve ever made!
I’ve finished the first three sections — right front, back, and left front.
Now I’m working all three pieces together, that make […]
Whew, I didn’t realize it had been over a month since my last entry!
I’ll try to catch everyone up:
The end of last month, I caught the flu. DH was also off of work (he’s a school teacher, and it was fall break).
It almost always takes me a while to get back into the swing after a break, […]
Been hitting Star Trek reruns pretty hard lately, but, alas I’m here.
AND, I have hook in hand!
I’ve been crocheting quite a bit lately. I made a pair of slippers for myself, and the three kiddies, some scarves for friends (as a means to eat up some stash, too!), and a few pair of fingerless gloves […]
I’m a day late, but better late, than never, right -?
Well, anyway, we read the article about the Monarch butterfly in the November Awake! It’s always interesting the learn about little known details about animals and things that we, otherwise, take for granted.
We’re going to save this article to use in the spring, when we […]
Here we are: On The Watch Wednesday #2!
Today, we’re going to discuss “What we learn from Jesus about the Hope for the Dead”
This article will be of great use out in the ministry, plus, it gives the girls the chance to learn my favorite scripture, John 5:28,29!
We had a great study — the girls are going to […]
I’m so excited to kick off the first official WW!
After receiving my first comment to the post about Watchtower Wednesday, I realized (QUICKLY) that that may be too restrictive. To only use Watchtower magazines? When the Awake! magazine is extremely resourceful, too! AND… the awesome publications that are at our disposal…
So, with ALL that being said, […]
Ok, so I’m looking for a bit of a ‘pick-me-up’.
I’m a crocheter, and I’ve seen TONS of blogs that have things to get others involved:
Dishcloth Tuesday, Filet Fridays, Scarf Sunday, etc.
What I’m proposing — every Wednesday, we will include one Watchtower Article in our Lesson.
This is not the same as the Sunday study article, just a […]
