Way back in February, I learned my cousin had a newborn daughter via Facebook. Her name is Brooklyn. (Yes, like me, my cousin was born in Brooklyn, but he hasn’t lived there for about 20 years). I decided to make her a baby blanket using some stash yarn. I started with the motif from Frankie [...]

I crocheted this shawl with Inca Eco, a super soft, organic cotton yarn. It’s a worsted weight, thick and thin yarn. I picked this yarn [...]

I’ve recently been joining a lot of -alongs. Crochet Happy hosted a CAL in January for Suzana Davidovic‘s Calm Cowl. (Now you try to say Calm Cowl CAL five times fast…) The CAL was sponsored by Galler Yarns and held in the Galler Yarns Ravelry group. I’m not eligible for the awesome prizes since I [...]

I have just a small finished object today, my very first pair of knit booties. But they come with a long story! (And, to thank you for reading the whole story, I’m also including a book review and giveaway at the end of this post.) I have a friend that I haven’t seen in ages. [...]

It’s been three weeks since I last participated in F.O. Friday, but I’ve actually finished quite a few projects in that time. I made three secret projects using this yarn, along with about eight swatches, for Kollabora, a new maker community. The big reveal was supposed to be this week, but it was delayed due [...]

I started participating in A Swap a Month on Ravelry in July. I had a little extra crochet time over the summer, I love swaps, and I’ve been reasonably good about destashing so I figured adding one surprise skein of yarn to my stash each month couldn’t be all bad. Most of the swaps include [...]
