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 [...]

Although I’ve been a Ravelry member since December, 2007, I barely used it until 2011. Last year, I finally started to browse Ravelry regularly for pattern searches and began to participate in several groups. My Rav goal for 2012 was to use the notebook to track all of my projects. Adding projects (and even taking [...]

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 [...]
