This is a project I am completely winging. I started some granny squares years ago and just started making some more about a week ago. Just some really basic squares with fun colors. My husband helped with the design idea. When he’s up for it, he’s got some great ones that I then finagle intoContinue reading “It’s Working!!!”

Basic Granny’s
I started making these Granny Squares a long time ago and I guess I’m finally in the mood to keep going. I think I want to make some kind of cardigan, but I’m just not sure how I want it to come together. Ideas are floating around, but right now I’m just having fun makingContinue reading “Basic Granny’s”
Pacing Myself
After a couple days of finishing these blocks my right arm is very unhappy from neck to fingertips. I knew better. I should have stretched and rolled frequently, but I was so in the zone. I swore to take a break. For two days I stared at this pile. The most arduous parts completed andContinue reading “Pacing Myself”
I Needed a Bag
I’ve started bringing my own supplies in for my second massage job. As I was packing everything up, I realized I don’t have a bag that really works for this task. So I decided to make one. Of course. I need something really durable and able to hold some weight easily. I have an ideaContinue reading “I Needed a Bag”
That Work Sweater
My lost jacket still hasn’t returned, so this has become my permanent work jacket. Sometimes I’m delighted with how warm and cozy it is. Other times I wish it was a bit less warm. I think that’s just part of these hormonal changes. My body temperature never knows what’s comfortable. I’m really happy with theContinue reading “That Work Sweater”
Taking a Break to Solve a Different Problem
This black and mushroom sweater has got me really worked up. I know what I need to do to make the collar right, but I’m not ready yet. So, instead I’ve decided to work on something else that has been driving me crazy for a few years. I started this sweater so long ago IContinue reading “Taking a Break to Solve a Different Problem”
Ready for Imbolc
I don’t really do much for this holiday, but I do enjoy celebrating being that much closer to Spring when Winter begins to get dreary and drag. This year hasn’t been as challenging weather wise, but I think we all need this exhausting condition we find ourselves in to lead us into some growth andContinue reading “Ready for Imbolc”
Good Morning
Well, I stayed up late crocheting the hood for my middle one’s sweater. I was really on a roll and am anxious to get it done. I also managed to get the purse mostly done. It’s a little rough on the inside, so I’m crocheting a liner to sew in and hide all that. WhileContinue reading “Good Morning”
Seasonal Wall Decor
It happened again. I can’t find the crochet decorations for the main wall in our living room. A winter or two ago, I couldn’t find the Solstice/Christmas crochet snowflakes. I worked up a batch of new ones, which actually made me really happy. When I found the old ones, I just found new places toContinue reading “Seasonal Wall Decor”
Hooking Again!
I have been having fun with these granny squares and since I don’t enjoy changing yarns frequently, I have started making the squares in stages. I make about four centers, then I move up two steps and make a few dc rounds. Then back down for a few chain six rounds. Then a couple ofContinue reading “Hooking Again!”
