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 [...]

Since last week, I’ve finished another 17 (!) six inch squares for Crochetlist‘s April charity challenge. These will eventually become blankets for Arizona children through the Binky Patrol.

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 [...]
