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 post is part of my Year of Projects, Year 2 series.) This week, my goal was to try out some potential motif patterns for the bedspread I’m planning for my mom’s milestone birthday in February. My sister’s bedspread took about 5 months to finish, and I’m assuming this one will be more complicated, so I [...]

I finished up nine granny squares this week to donate to the Crochetlist April charity challenge, the Binky Patrol in Arizona. These were all made with acrylic stash yarns. Since the squares need to be 6 inches, I’ve made minor modifications to each pattern to adjust the size. The first two grannies are from The Granny [...]

Ever since I first learned to crochet granny squares, I’ve loved them. The “official” granny square pattern was originally published in 1890 by Weldon and Company in London. Then, as now, the granny square was a great way to use up scrap yarn. The pattern has basically been continuously in print since then, so that [...]
