It’s been ages since I posted a Year of Projects update, but I have been working towards several of my goals for this year. My latest series of quick projects has been to make mitered square washcloths for the April Crochetlist charity challenge, which will benefit Mothers and Infants Striving for Success. You may remember [...]

After reviewing my progress in last week’s post, I decided to revise my list for the last half of the Year of Projects. This may not seem as ambitious as my original list, but for right now it works for me. I’ve been purposely vague about the exact numbers of projects, etc. because I would [...]

It’s been a while since I shared a Year of Projects post, but as the year comes to an end, I’ve been reflecting on my crafty accomplishments in 2012 and planning for 2013. I’ve definitely missed the camaraderie of participating in YOP so I thought I would ease myself back into posting on a semi-regular, if [...]

This year, I donated more projects and patterns to charity (and causes) than I have for quite a long time. I started off 2012 by making 6″ granny squares. I sent off 40 to Binky Patrol in May as part of the Crochetlist charity challenge. In June, I hosted the charity challenge for Crochetlist on behalf [...]

Back in June, I was the hostess of Crochetlist‘s monthly charity challenge on behalf of Bideawee, an animal welfare organization headquartered in New York. My main job as hostess was to be enthusiastic about the charity during the month, and to collect pet blankets. I also organized an ebook of 30 crochet stitch patterns suitable [...]

Like U2, I still haven’t found what I’m looking for (in an afghan motif). I’ve done a lot of swatching this week and I’m not that much closer to choosing a pattern for the bedspread I want to make my mom for her milestone birthday. At first, I was thinking that a hexagon motif was [...]

This month, I’m sponsoring Crochetlist‘s Charity Challenge on behalf of Bideawee. I’ve self-published a special e-book of crochet stitch patterns that make great pet blankets (with profits to be donated to Bideawee), and I’m working on a few of my own pet blankets to donate. Today, I’m interviewing Deborah Green, Bideawee’s Senior Manager of Volunteers, [...]

Last week, I had a technical problem on my blog and I didn’t get to share two finished projects that I’m pretty excited about. I’ve mentioned a few times that I’m the sponsor for Crochetlist‘s June charity challenge. I’m organizing a collection of pet blankets that will be donated to Bideawee for Adopt-A-Shelter-Cat month. I’ve [...]

On Tuesday, I mailed a total of 40 six inch crochet blocks to the Binky Patrol in Arizona as part of the Crochetlist April charity challenge. I shared the first nine blocks two weeks ago, the next 17 last week, and three bullion stitch blocks on Sunday, so today I have 11 to show off. [...]

(This post is part of my Year of Projects: Crochet Master Class series. You can read the other posts in this series here.) I missed my YOP post last week (only the second time I’ve done that), and that was a real bummer. But today I’m back with some more bullion stitch blocks! These will be going to the Binky [...]
