FO Friday: Brooklyn’s Baby Blanket
22 Comments
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 [...]
FO Friday: Pineapples for Everyone Shawl & CAL winners
It’s been three months since I last participated in FO Friday, and it is great to be back! This FO is actually quite a few weeks old, but I haven’t shared these pictures yet on my blog. This is my second version of my Pineapples for Everyone Shawl pattern. I made it during the crochet-along [...]
A sneak peak
Next Wednesday, I’ll be participating in Crochetville‘s A Tour Through Crochet Country blog tour for National Crochet Month. I’m working on something fun (and secret) to reveal next week, but until then, I can share a little progress picture. I had an awesome time at the Pittsburgh Knit and Crochet Festival last weekend. My mom and [...]
FO Friday: Pineapples for Everyone Shawl and upcoming CAL!
I’ve been keeping today’s finished object secret since September, so I’m really excited to finally share it. It’s a pineapple shawl I crocheted for the Spring, 2013 issue of Crochetvolution. 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 [...]
Brooklyn Jelly
It’s amazing what you find out through Facebook. For example, I had no idea my cousin’s wife was even pregnant until she posted pictures of her newborn, Brooklyn Sophia. Being of the old fashioned naming sort, I assumed that Brooklyn was an adjective describing Sophia. (As in “born in Brooklyn” Sophia.) Later, I came to [...]
FO Friday: Calm Cowl
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 [...]
My 2013 temperature scarf pattern
Apparently, Honey Nutbrown‘s whole temperature scarf concept has really taken off. Even Bernat, one of the larger North American yarn companies, has jumped on board with a year long KAL/CAL. I’ve gotten quite a few questions about the stitch pattern I’m using for my crochet version, so I thought I’d share it. I wanted the number [...]
Climate change
Thanks to everyone who weighed in on the my color choices last week. I ended up starting my 2013 Temperature Scarf on Saturday. I love everything about this project so far! The colors are coming together nicely, and I love that this is a project that will take a minimum of 365 days to complete. There is [...]
Conceptual startitis, or Am I Crazy?
It’s usually when I have obligatory projects with looming deadlines that I suddenly have the urge to begin new projects. My current case of startitis revolves around two projects for me: a pair of socks and a conceptual knitting project, my 2013 Crocheted Temperature Scarf. The backstory: While procrastinating on Sunday night, I came across the [...]
FO Friday: Fever
I actually finished this hat a few weeks ago, but I had to keep it secret until the pattern was released. You can download the free pattern for the Givin’ Me Fever Pom Pom hat here on Kollabora. If you haven’t already checked out Kollabora, you should . It’s a newish maker community with a focus [...]
