I’ve been on a bit of a streak, as of late…
I’ve made quite a few pairs of socks.
I whipped up lit­tle cro­chet bags for my girls to carry their projects in.

I’ve been cov­et­ing many pat­terns in my Rav­elry Queue, too.
Since the weather here is so fickle, I’m not sure whether to make another Anthro-inspired Capelet, […]

Ok, so you know that crazy post I did about not buy­ing any­more yarn.
Yeah, that was a good one, wasn’t it?
Any­way, today, I received my email con­fir­ma­tion that my Knit Picks order is on its’ way! Yahoo! Then I shared that news with my yarn-loving cro­chet son. He then, […]

I found this while loi­ter­ing around the ‘net -

Do you have trou­ble with stitch mark­ers?
My prob­lem with them has mainly been with them snag­ging my yarn (plus, I don’t like the idea of hav­ing to move them each round.
Well, if you’re like me, you’re gonna love this idea!!!

So, I started my third pair of socks Thurs­day!
For two reasons:

1) New Yarn — I got some Patons Kroy Sox yarn through a friend, who picked them up for me on sale for $2.49 at Michaels!

2) I wanted to make DH a pair.

3) I was get­ting a bit frus­trated with the sock I was mak­ing with […]

I can’t believe it — I’ve been a cro­cheter for over 20 years, and now, for some rea­son, I can’t kick the notion that knit­ting may make me, *gasp*, happier.

I don’t knit that well. I’ve only ever made dish­cloths and scarves, so I have a large learn­ing curve to over­come.
I think — […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
