FO Friday: Panda for my cousin
24 Comments
I’ve had my eye on the Lala the Panda pattern since I interviewed Stacey Trock as part of the Crocheted Softies blog tour back in December. I wanted to make a relatively gender-neutral toy for my little nephew as part of my Holiday Stashdown Challenge. His parents are a bit old school, so I didn’t want to offend [...]
FO Friday: Ribbed Beanie
I got a lot of knitting done during jury duty this week. (No, I wasn’t on a trial, just sitting in an air conditioned waiting room for a while and then the last juror in the selection room for a longer while so it was obvious I wasn’t ever going to get questioned.) I finished [...]
FO Friday: Diagonal Bobbles Clutch
In the Northeast, we’ve been hit by a heatwave, and it has definitely reduced my desire to crochet. There’s something about having hot yarn stuck on your sweat that just doesn’t make it fun.

3KCBWDAY4 – A Knitter or Crocheter For All Seasons?
Seasonality doesn’t have much of an effect on my crocheting and knitting. I probably make more blankets than anything else, and these are usually in response to events (new babies, new homes, engagements, etc.) that happen year round. In years past, I was very good about planning ahead for the winter holidays, and actually made [...]
Year of Projects: Crochet Master Class – Intermeshing detour
(This post is part of my Year of Projects: Crochet Master Class series. You can read the other posts in this series here.) Last week, I talked about exploring other crochet techniques which were not included in Crochet Master Class: Lessons and Projects from Today’s Top Crocheters, and the general consensus in the comments section was that I should go for [...]
Interview with Liz Cooper from Seabury Organizers
I had the pleasure of being introduced to Seabury Organizers at Vogue Knitting Live back in January. Every crocheter and knitter that I know is always looking for a way to organize the (ever growing) hook and needle collection, and Seabury Organizers has come up with a stylish concept. I’m happy to share an interview [...]
