Well, losing the game, so to speak, with NaBloPoMo kinda put me off blogging feed. I decided to get focused on other things for a while – got some projects done, recentered myself. Probably good, in the long run.
SO – here’s what I’ve been up to:
I’m still working on exploring the Newbie Level of crochet. [...]

Spent the day not doing some house projects I’d hoped to get around to – seemed like a good day to kick back and just chill a bit….So I spent the time I’d planned on doing some Fall Clearing Out working up this hat. It’s a variation on the L.A.M.B inspired hat on Ravelry. (Modeled [...]

I took a “mental health day” today – decided to sit and work on April Draven’s Star Slouchy Hat pattern.
I frogged the green band at the bottom more times than I care to admit trying to get the decrease down – the way it’s “supposed to be done was just sliding off whatever part of [...]

In keeping with my quick little post yesterday (NaBloPoMo keeps me posting, but antsy and short on time, some days. XD), I thought I’d share some of the web based inspiration I’ve found as I continue my quest towards granny-square-throw-FO-ness.
First off, check out this *KING SIZE* granny-square blanket over at YarnHog’s blog:
I’ll leave you to [...]

I took a break from it in the past few days, but until very recently I’ve been obsessed with Granny Squares. It’s been good practice, and also a great way to use up old stash – specifically bag lots of yarn from Goodwill. I had a whole bunch of scraps from sources like this. So [...]

I have to say, as I approach my first Holiday Season as a crocheter and proto-knitter, I’m struggling a bit with veganism and yarn. I’ve been a vegan for more than 4 years, and I don’t buy wool – with the *possible* exception of second hand. However I really do like a good wool yarn. [...]

Just a quickie – swamped by RL, as usual:
I’ve been teaching myself granny squares. I’ve read here and there on the ‘net that they’re addictive – and I can certainly attest to that. Currently, I’m trying to destash old yarn picked up from Goodwill way back, plus odds and ends left-overs, so I’m making squares [...]

The pattern is actually part of a [...]

Howdy, y’all – hope this finds you well. It’s lovely here – very temperate.
So, I finally got back in the swing of doing a little crochet – doing a very simple project, as I’m such an abject beginner. I’m making a thin little scarf, not measuring or anything. Gonna give it to youngest son, as [...]

This is a fantastic program and when I get my sewing machine back in working order, this is high on my list of things to sew:
