Is anyone having trouble finding masks these days? Or perhaps the cost has skyrocketed? I know the ones I have been looking at online are either out of stock, have a ship date of late “next month” or are literally 300X the price they once were before COVID-19. I started making these masks for some… Continue reading The Contoured Crocheted Mask Pattern

Grammie’s Granny Square Snag
Or, better stated, I THOUGHT I could see! I always considered the typical granny square a walk in the park. It is easy enough to do the double crochet, cluster that sucker into three at a time, and make my rounds as I go, right?

I was actually very surprised. I am terrible at following directions…I used to get in trouble at school because of… Continue reading Free to Be (stitching)

Bags have been big in my list over the past year. This one is made with double stranded Peaches and Cream cotton yarn and stuffed full of beach toys for my granddaughter. I think I got the idea from looking at market bags online and just loved the oceany colors in these skeins. I never… Continue reading Beach Ready
Confessions of a Yarn Junkie
This is a picture of a “Baby Games” afghan I wanted to make for a friend of mine. Each circle design has not only a matching circle pattern, but an opposite as well. Ultimately, once the matching game is complete, I border the blanket with the child’s name and birth date. This baby wasn’t due… Continue reading Confessions of a Yarn Junkie
