I’m not the type of crocheter (or knitter) who feels the need to complete every project I start. Sometimes I start a project for stress relief, other times I make a bad yarn choice, and then there are times when the project just isn’t really something I want to work on anymore. Today, I’m celebrating [...]

I’m still working on two of the same projects since my last Work in Progress Wednesday and Yarn Along post. My version of the Pineapple Doily Shawl by Laura Garsten seemed to be coming along quite well. I was working on it during the commute back and forth to my Saturday crochet class. But when [...]

There’s a fair amount of similarity between last week’s WIP Wednesday/Yarn Along post and today’s post. I took a break from the Pineapple Doily Shawl since I didn’t take it on vacation with me and then promptly forgot to bring it to class with me on Saturday to work on along with my students. My cabled [...]

I had two crafty coincidences this week. On Saturday, several students in my crochet class started on the Pineapple Doily Shawl by Laura Garsten. I first heard about this pattern on the Crochet Chat Podcast and several of my students decided to give it a try. Usually, I don’t make a project with the class [...]
