A basket of crochet and a frozen coffee drink in the evening. Granny square sweaters from 1975 in a library find. More vintage granny squares from the same book. A basket of crochet and hot coffee the next morning. Is there any doubt where my head is at lately? I would have thought by now […]

Thank you so much for all of the great comments and suggestions regarding my teeny tiny shawl! I decided to try a combination of suggestions. First, I re-blocked it. An hours’-worth of stretching and grunting, pinning and re-pinning, won me a precious two extra inches. That’s not a whole lot, but I think it actually helped […]

I took a break from the granny square sampler while I worked on my shawl, and it is so nice to be getting back to it! I really enjoy small projects more than big ones, and while technically a blanket is a big project, it hasn’t felt that way while it’s being divvied up into […]

I finished crocheting my shawl on Friday, and blocked it on Saturday. All along as I was crocheting I was a little concerned about it being too small, but I was keeping my fingers crossed that it would stretch considerably in the blocking. It did stretch, but only by about seven inches across. I was […]

Oh, I just can’t resist the lure of instant-gratification home decor projects. This week that has translated into an additional four table toppers from the book I reviewed here. I’m liking these. They’re great for setting down a coffee mug (on our new tables! I have to show you those later). I realized that I […]

Going through a week’s worth of mail when we returned from our extended stay in Burlington was such fun for me – it was like Christmas morning! One of the goodies “under the tree” was this book, sent to me by the nice people at St. Martin’s Press: Simple Crocheting: A Complete How-to-Crochet Workshop With […]

I have three crochet projects going at the moment, and if I know me (and I think, by now, I do) this does not bode well for at least one of the projects. There’s the Granny Square Sampler, which I do really love and am committed to finishing. There’s a companion for Harold, which currently has one […]

Meet Harold. He’s the first critter I made as a result of Stacey Trock’s Design Your Own Amigurumi Monster class at Craftsy. He is, actually, based very closely on Stacey’s first pattern from the class. I took this class so that my kids could design monsters, and I could crochet them. We think we could […]

My blogging rhythm is becoming predictable lately. Sheets and granny squares, taking turns, with nothing in between. Well, the sheet swap is winding down, so there will be less of that soon. And I’m all caught up with the sampler assignments, so I will only be doing a post about that once a week at […]
Read More: Why, look, it’s another square!
I loved this week’s Granny Square Sampler squares, with their circle-in-a-square themes. It’s got my wheels seriously turning in the direction of a new blanket design. Do I really need to make another blanket? No, probably not. Is that going to stop me? No, probably not. I am amassing enough of a collection now, that […]
