I finally finished!

Okay, with major help from Eve (and from somebody else who suggested using a stitch marker – thank you!), I finally finished my Basic Birds. I had to redo the first one I made about five times, but the second one went much more smoothly.
I am still in shock that I made something round…it makes [...]

It seems that we are almost done with the amigurumi theme and I was thinking it might be a good idea to start our next theme “Christmas-Along” 2 weeks early. This gives people that are still working on their Amigurumi a chance to post them.
Please leave a comment whether you would like to start the [...]

For Crochet Day

I was inspired by my Gram to learn to crochet. The single colors afghan was made by my Gram back in the late 30’s-early 40’s.  And actually it was made from yarn that was originally knited into a two piece outfit by my mom when she was about 18-19. When my mom no longer wore the outfit, Gram reworked it [...]

Crochet & June

For my International Crochet Day post, I thought I would share a photo of my afghan. This was both my crowning glory and my reason for abandoning crochet for almost 2 years:
 
I taught myself to crochet (from a book) when I first moved to Canada. My first project was a very simple small afghan with all [...]

But in May this year I started crocheting and I love love love it.  I went to visit my Gran [...]

And this is my crochet day story:
When I arrived home after being away in school for three years, the first thing I did was dig out all the [...]

Crochet Day!

Good morning everyone!
Crocheting always makes me remember my Grandma.  She was great at crocheting, and was always making crochet gifts for the family…I had an entire wardrobe for my Barbies and cabbage patch dolls (I especially remember my cabbage patch cowgirl outfit and a cute red Barbie dress).  I still have a ton of doilies, [...]

Frankenchicken

I finally got batteries in my camera to take this little guy’s picture.  I’ll admit that I don’t have much experience crocheting in the round….if you need a scarf, or squares, I’m you girl.  But for some reason, the times that I’ve done rounds, my projects end up leaning as if they are taller on [...]
