Gene Jeanie

Today I want to tell you about Stylecraft’s Jeanie Denim Look. I never intended to make this a blog post all its own, but when I got to actually try the yarn and write about it I just couldn’t edit myself down to a blurb. This yarn is pretty great and I’m excited to get […]

Catching up with the Blogstars

One of the best things about being a Stylecraft Blogstar is all the support you get from Stylecraft and one of the ways they give that support is through meetups. The last meetup was back on February 3rd, but I’ve been putting off writing about it because there was a mishap with the delivery of […]

Baubles, Bangles, and… 4x4s?

The holidays were a little busy for us this year. I didn’t really mind. I quite like finishing my year up with multiple celebrations. I find it is the perfect way to prepare me for a new year and get me relaxed before jumping back into work and the daily grind. We tend to keep […]

Round and Round We Go

Today I get to bring you something a little different – a book review! Emily Littlefair of the Loopy Stitch (also on Facebook if you click here) has so kindly sent me a copy of her new book, Round and Round the Crochet Hook. It’s full of gorgeous crochet patterns to decorate your home. There […]

Granny in the Sky

  In my last post I talked about the challenges of picking a pattern for self-striping yarns, and heck, the challenges of designing for them. In this post, I’d like to introduce you to another solution to the cake-yarn dilemma – a new baby blanket crochet pattern called Granny in the Sky with Diamonds. Click […]

Yarn Cake Wars: Part 1

Earlier this year I was out shopping with the Mr. and stumbled upon what, at that time, was a treasured find: eight cakes of Lion Brand Mandala yarn. These were sold out across the country. I’d seen them in the store, but had always resisted purchasing any. This was different. They had clearance labels on […]

Go Go Granny Golightly

Is there anything in crochet quite as classic as granny stitch? It’s been used in everything from afghans to accessories. It can be found everywhere from your Grandma’s couch to your favorite TV sit-com, and from the London runway to the red carpet. At this point, it’s a bit baffling that we keep finding new […]

Over-Chaining

Hi all! This won’t be a long post because instead of writing about something, I’ve got a video where I talk about something! It’s one of those things that makes more sense when you see it in action. So, I did a quick video tutorial to show you how you can easily make too many […]

Jayma

We’ve all done it. We’ve all succumbed to the allure of pretty yarn. You know the kind with lots of color changes, maybe it even has an interesting effect like a binding strand or it’s thick-and-thin or has alternating textures. And, it’s just so different, so unique, that a few balls must go home with […]

Stormy-Hopeful

October is pregnancy and infant loss awareness month. The effect that statement has on each of you is going to vary greatly depending on your individual experience. It’s a painful subject. One that isn’t talked about often. And, we’re not going to talk about it today. I’m no expert. I have no advice or wise […]
