Blanket Projects – Logan’s Cube Blanket, Day 2
Didn’t get to spend much time crocheting… but two rows is better than none. more…
Blanket Projects – Logan’s Cube Blanket, Day 1
This is not a baby blanket but rather a gift for a friend. When he first saw “The Cube” pillowcase I made he commented that he “really liked” the pattern and that is a very high complement coming from him. 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…
