Remember when I overdid it with crocheting this Christmas, and injured my wrist the first time? (the second time was this week, sanding and painting. silly tendons and things!) Well, there was a cute teal and mustard pair of fingerless gloves that never got finished. The second mitten never got farther than the cuff. That… [Continue Reading]

Some college friends of mine recently had a baby boy. I don’t get to see them very often at all, since they live out of town. It’s been a few years actually. And that’s a shame, because they’re such a fun couple. I haven’t touched my crochet hooks since Christmas, when my wrist started hurting… [Continue Reading]

This will officially be my last crochet post for a while. All of the crocheting that I did for Christmas gifts actually hurt my hand and my wrist. If I crochet very much right now, my wrist starts to pop and my thumb aches. I’m incredibly disappointed about this, since I was loving keeping my… [Continue Reading]

I promise that this blog will return to a variety of crafts after the holidays. But for now, I’m crocheting during any free time that I have. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve!

It’s a very easy pattern with minimal counting, so it was a nice break from the fingerless gloves… [Continue Reading]

I just finished weaving in the ends on this pair of convertible fingerless gloves/mittens. They’re from a different pattern on Ravelry, which you can download for free. It’s not really any… [Continue Reading]

I am so excited about these fingerless gloves, you guys! I want to just run and tell random strangers how great the pattern is, and how they should buy it. Well, minus the running around, that’s kind of what I’m doing here. So buy this pattern! It’s freaking awesome!!! I’m 100% not being asked to… [Continue Reading]

This blanket has been sitting in my living room at about this stage of completion for months. I began it this summer when I first learned to crochet. It’s just one giant granny square, which I think looks really fun. I’m using Lily Sugar ‘n Cream cotton yarn. It feels so soft. Prior to crocheting… [Continue Reading]
