Crochet Projects

We’re turning into Knit Wits!!!

For those of you who may have followed my crochet blog, (which was recently merged with this one), you know my plight about learning to knit.

Well, Flower Picker has been pretending to knit with two pencils… no yarn – she’s just rubbing two pencils together at the tips. :-{

So, I decided that would be our [...]

This week, so far…

This week was a 1/2 day school week.  We have a two-day assembly this weekend, and I always like to sew new things for the girls and I to wear.  I made myself a skirt and shirt (that’s a first for me!) and I made a skirt and dress for Face.  Flower Picker was in [...]

Sew N Show

I wanted to show off the dress-up dresses I made for the girls last month.

Nothing fancy, but they don’t seem to care!

Aw, the latest…

Well, for starters, I’ve added a new category – Sewing!

Yup, yup, this crocheter sews, too!  Well, let me rephrase -

I have owned a sewing machine for 17 years.  In that 17 years, the most sewing I’ve done to date, was cloth diapers.  I sewed diapers for 3 years.  I never had proper instruction, so most [...]

Crochet is NOT a hobby!

It’s a skill!

I was watching an old episode of Knit & Crochet Today and there was an interview with Nikki Epstein.  She made the comment, “Knitting isn’t a hobby; it’s a skill!”

That rang bells for me.  It’s true.  Crocheting (and knitting) are skills.  You have to really work to hone those skills.  The more you [...]

The coolest idea ever!!

Loitering online -that’s what I call “surfing”.  Surfing requires some sort of skill or strategy – loitering is clearly just hangin out somewhere with no real purpose, and that’s how I internet.

Anyway, as I was loitering, I stumbled onto this:
Make your own bag handles

Now, as a crocheter, I have found, and fell in love with [...]

Stone Soup, Anyone?

A friend of mine, who works at our local library, is reading the book, Stone Soup, to a group of small children.
She said she’d love to have props on hand as she read the story, so my son and I crocheted her some vegetables for her Stone Soup.

We made:
tomato
peas
green beans
radish
red bell pepper (not pictured)
carrot
garlic
eggplant
cabbage
turnip (not [...]

I can't believe it!!

I’m Knitting!
I’m actually making something that will amount to something larger than a dishcloth, but with more shape than a scarf!!

The first question is… what?
I found this cute pattern, it looked easy enough – didn’t require circular needles, and I have the size it DOES call for.  I’ve been wanting to make a tank for [...]

Many Tanks!

Yay! I’ve just finished up my oldest DD’s tank top.

DH says it’s too wide, so I see some altering in my future, but she loves it!

She loves the color – which is awesome, since she is the one that picked it out.
She loves how it feels against her [...]

Puttering Along

I’ve been working on a few things at once lately.

I’ve started my Banana Bay top, which I’m loving!
I’m also working on a cute tank top for my oldest DD.
I’ve used the pattern before, but this time, I’m using Knit Picks Crayon yarn, and it’s YUMM-O soft! Even DD stated, “Hey, it’s soft, so there’s [...]
