(This post is part of my Year of Projects: Crochet Master Class series. You can read the other posts in this series here.) I am having great fun with Bruges lace, which I’m learning from the master herself, Tatyana Mirer, in a three-week class at Knit-A-Way.

You may remember that a few weeks ago I had a comprehensive eye exam and my pupils were dilated. I could hardly see, but I was in a crocheting mood. I had just finished a secret project in Galler Yarns Inca Eco (which will soon be available as a free pattern on their blog), so [...]

I don’t know about you, but I didn’t really notice the extra day in February. It seemed to slip by pretty quickly anyway! Now that we are in March, I’m reflecting on my progress to Surmount the Stash in 2012 along with Revelations of a Delusional Knitter (Ravelry group here). Since my January progress report, [...]

I have two small finished projects to share today. I finished these yoga socks on Saturday. Way back in December, I started making my very own yarn stash club kits as part of my efforts to Surmount the Stash along with Revelations of a Delusional Knitter. I really wanted to find something to do with [...]

(This post is part of my Year of Projects: Crochet Master Class: Lessons and Projects from Today’s Top Crocheters series.) January was filled with huge stressful projects – of the crochet kind as well as of the full-time job kind. In the last two weeks, I’ve turned to some smaller projects that could be easily completed [...]

It’s that time of the week again, when I take stock of my progress towards my craft goals. Personal crafting goals 1. Work my way through Crochet Master Class: Lessons and Projects from Today’s Top Crocheters. Instead of using the patterns, I’d like to create my own project (for myself and/or for teaching) for each technique/skill [...]

I’m at the point with the Saints blanket I’m making for my sister where it is almost too big to bring anywhere. On Monday, I had a round trip up to Albany for a meeting, followed by a two hour public hearing. I knew I couldn’t give up all of that good crochet time, so [...]

I love welcoming the New Year. It isn’t a religious holiday, so I don’t have to worry about offending (or excluding) someone when I say “Happy New Year!” It’s also a great time to reflect on the past and think about the future! About a month after I started my blog in March, I set [...]
