Reuse or repurpose?
The mystery balls that I made were lurking about in my view again. Initially, I made them with the intention of making an afghan. After several false starts, I used one ball to make a couple of sets, then tried using another in a new stitch pattern. Nothing fancy, but the way the colors were stacking looked great. I tried a new stitch pattern for the scarf, and it’s looking great. The set is…
No Buy Lent 2026
This year for Lent, I am going to refrain from buying any yarn and use up what I have. There’s more than enough in my yarn closet. I’m going to try everything, use different color combinations, or make the same pattern in several colors. Before I made the decision, I bought some yarn on sale that I’d been wanting to try. I was intentional with the colors that I purchased because I chose a couple…

2026 Crochet Goals
Happy New Year! After a pivot and change to the 2025 donations at the last minute, I made hats to go along with the scarves earmarked for an organization that stopped accepting scarves. Also, I made hats to accompany scarves that I found around the house. Initially, my goal was 75 sets and 12 red scarves. I tallied up everything and thought I had made 104 sets, I donated 100 of those sets. Then…
Mix and match 2025
Messed up
Things don’t always line up. After making a hat, I had a couple of false starts on the scarf. The yarn is not forgiving and does not want to unravel nicely. It snags and rips. After two false starts, I decided to go with the basic double crochet. While working on the project, I decided to try a different edging, which made the scarf wider, because I didn’t count the number of stitches I had in…

Revisiting the past
A few years ago I made some mystery balls and had a plan to create an afghan. One, twice, three times I started an afghan and one is currently in progress. The project is in time out. While I was working with yarn that a friend gave me I thought I could use a mystery ball that I made to create a set. While the colors wouldn’t carry over in both pieces, having similar stitches would make it more…
Have you made any crafting goals?
Happy New Year! This is going to be a colorful year. I have already decided that I want to get faster with working with color in my creations this year with multiple yarns, not just colored yarns themselves. New Year’s Day, I made some attempts at interlocking. That’s where two pieces of mesh are worked together. Interlocking will be revisited when I have some lighter weight yarn. For the…
Twelve Red Scarves...
That sounds like it should be part of the Twelve Days of Christmas, but it’s not. Just after Thanksgiving I shipped off a dozen red scarves and met the only goal that I set for myself this year. This didn’t mean that I didn’t create any additional items, I knew that this would be a busy year with moving, packing, and settling into my new home. Instead, I tried to use as much yarn that I have…

To pom or not to pom
I’ve been happily crocheting along continuing on my year of free crocheting, deciding to do whatever I want with few goals and it’s been blissful. The most enjoyable part is just trying out or combining different yarns that I already have. The stash down is still on, and for the most part, I haven’t bought much new yarn. It’s been fun! That’s the most important part, I am enjoying what I…

Crochet Dilettante
As I close out the third month of my free form maker year and using up yarn in my stash (well, mostly), I have been trying new things. I have this yarn that I purchased it is a bulky weight not too too bulky but still too bulky to use a 6 ½ mm hook. So, I tried using a 7 mm which was frustrating to use, then I choose a random wooden hook that I have with no size on it. I think I bought it at a…

2024 Crochet Goals
After purging yarn I don’t like, and wouldn’t use from my working stash, I decided that in 2024 I’m going to use up the yarn I have and make 2024 a free form creative crochet year. The only goal that I am making for myself is to make 12 red scarves for Foster Care to Success. Whatever I make will likely be for donations to different organizations, but I’m just going to go with the flow, use what…

Close to Christmas
Ninety hat and scarfs sets in three bags of thirty each. When people say to me, you crochet fast. I say, it’s not a race or a competition, it’s a craft. I’m proud of what I made this year, thought it’s likely that I won’t meet my goals and that’s ok. I made two baby blankets and experimented with a few new techniques. I bit off more than I could chew by starting later than I should have for a few…

Lost at yarn chicken
Almost enough to make a hat A little of this and a little of that… that phrase can be associated with recipes, or crafting. In my case, I’ve been matching up different oddballs to branch out from using a color with a neutral but by putting two colors together or two neutrals together. To kick off fall, I just started playing with color, which was also several rounds of yarn chicken since I had a…

International Crochet Day
It seems fitting that International Crochet Day and Mindfulness Day are on the same day – September 12, both are meant to offer relaxation. This is definitely a necessity for those who need to be quiet, and calm given that September 11 is still a difficult day for many in recent American history. I’ve been purging items from the craft room to make more room for other yarns – so it’s been a…
