Sarah's Sweethearts: crochet We went to an Old Fashioned downtown Christmas Festival this past weekend. It was wonderful! Here are some pretties from our night out. These were window displays in the old store fronts. I just adore the sleigh above! (top photo) It was life size! I believe this Santa is Antique since he was prominently displayed in an antique store window. Many snow globes, Miss A loved them, so many happy tiny worlds to provide endless day dream material.:) These trees were from The Festival of Trees. Wonderful causes too! Of course Miss A loved the pink and purple Christmas Trees. ...the evening could not be complete without the favored Carousel. I believe they are running a sale right now too. I actually worked mine a little short and the pattern calls for Paton's lace which has these gorgeous tiny sequins in it. Happy Sunday and have a beautiful week!

Granny’s Border – in Progress | alottastitches After much consideration of yarn colors and amounts, I finally started working on the granny’s border! The darker aqua squares which frame the blanket are slighter larger than the inner squares of light aqua, because the darker aqua yarn is of a slightly heavier weight. With the help of some experimentation, I decided to skip one stitch out of every four or five stitches in the blanket’s edge as I crocheted the first round of its border. I made it a plain double-crochet round of the same darker aqua yarn, hoping this would make my irregularly spaced stitches less noticeable. I began the first teal round by working three double-crochet stitches (a familiar granny cluster) into one stitch of the dark aqua, skipping the next two stitches, then repeating those two steps the rest of the way around. The second teal round is even more familiar, working a granny cluster in each open space, just like in a granny square. Like this: Like Loading...

craft blog : crochet I spent about an hour standing in the craft store Saturday staring at a wall of yarn in the coolest muted tones and edgy colors ... a palette I would have murdered for (with my bare hands) years ago. Seriously. I'm especially impressed with the acrylic selection. Vanna's Choice, Cotton Ease (which also has great labels), and Red Heart Soft are all being made in totally amazing colors. Back in the 90s when I was crocheting ALL THE TIME, there wasn't a lot to choose from if you were making $10 an hour in San Francisco and wanted muted, edgy colors. OK, there was *nothing* to choose from. There was one granny square blanket in particular that I made in variegated rainbow, bright purple, yellow, green, etc., that would make your eyes bleed. I did manage to make a tasteful blanket out of Red Heart for my little sister's wedding present. I even splurged on some Lion Brand Microspun for hats and scarves for Andrew and I when we first met. The picture doesn't really capture it's yumminess.
Granny square with a Butterfly for the Sibol Group and the Tutorial. Tutorial Materials, Cotton or Acrilic Yarn Hook 3.00 mm,3.50mm,3.75 ...depends on the yarn,thread or material for your square.I used 3.75..I will recommend 3.00 or 3.50 with cotton thread. Also you can start chaining 12 instead of using a magic circle,I like the magic circle more than the chains. After the corner,chain 2 ,3 double crochets,chain 2,3 double crochets ,chain 2 and another corner and repeat all around. Granny is done,isn't beautiful.Hoping you all like it .

ANNEMARIE'S CROCHET BLOG ♥ ANNEMARIE'S HAAKBLOG Cobblestone Square Hi All, I have a new design to share with you... Before I get to the new pattern I want to apologise for the lack of posts lately; my last post was 6 weeks ago! I'm afraid I've been a bit disenchanted with the whole blogging and designing experience... I've been aware of another blog, in German, who has done a translation of my lily pad hexagon flower, complete with a photographic tutorial - pretty much a copy, picture by picture of mine, for a few months now. Only I kept seeing it pinned on pinterest, and when I saw a couple of pins with the comment "pattern only in german, but with good pictures" I'm afraid my anger bubbled to the surface and I looked at the blog post again and with the help of google translate deciphered the post to find out if she mentioned the original source at all. This is the original, on this page I found this flower. Something at least I guess... but I still feel that the original creditation should be within the body of her post. Happy crocheting everyone! Karen
