I think this color combination will work…now to find the motivation to start the sewing process.more…
WIP – Basketweave Pattern
After working with yarn it was nice to get to get back to my thread crocheting. Some people prefer chunky yarns and big hooks, and to me I feel most at home with a Steel 5 and size 10 crochet thread. more…
WIP – Eternal Loop Pattern
Time to get this pillow finished before I once again get sidetracked with more baby blankets.more…
Blanket Projects – de Vine, Day 5 & 6
And sadly here is as far as I will be progressing for a few days… I ran out of the “Painted Desert” colorway with one one side to go… and its not carried in any of my local stores. All of my grand plans of getting this blanket finished by this weekend are dashed […]more…
Two of the husband’s coworkers are about to have new additions to their families so it was time to have another go around of making baby blankets. If it wasn’t already apparent based on the color choices, this one is for a little girl. I am really fond of both these colors and this […]more…

Lazy Friday – Slow Progress
Sadly as much as I wanted to get this square done, along with a half dozen other things, it just did not happen. This week has been a little crazy with time for crocheting few and far between… and sadly next week doesn’t look much better. On the plus side I have another pattern […]more…

WIP- “Tartan Redux” Pattern
A lot of patterns eventually get a couple variations and the Tartan Pattern is no different. I might end up keeping the name “Tartan Redux” but only as a last recourse. This green is really beautiful without feeling like the color is over saturated so expect to see more of this thread in the […]more…
