i really enjoyed this afghan. it was an easy pattern, and went very quickly. it took me only 16 hours to complete, thats on the very low end of what a baby afghan usually takes me ( Read more... )

an interesting but super easy pattern. its worked in steps. first color is only 6 dc. next color is 6, step up, and 6 more. and on and on. the afghan is rather triangle shaped until you finish it.

I made some clay mitten ornaments to use as holiday decorations and gift toppers, but sadly they won't be out of the kiln until a few days before Christmas and I wanted something now!

Does anyone know of a fun heart afgan? I found this the other day and just made a sample of it and hate the way it looks. It looks nice from far away but close up you see all the holes and gaps. I'm so bored with crocheting and I'm hoping if I can find a fun pattern and make it in fun bright colors it will get me back into it.

I've been working up a storm here lately, and I have failed to take pics of everything I've made. Oh well.

All right crafty crochet-y friends, I'm on a mission to find a scarf pattern I can make with Lion Brand Homespun that won't drive me batty.

I can't stand working with Homespun, but my mom sent me a package yesterday with a few skeins of it and a note that said "scarf please."  I called her today and jokingly complained about what difficult yarn ( Read more... )
