Granny Square pattern, with pictures (scene one, take two) Edit #2 (late November 2006): I've noticed on several forums that a lot of people are using my rectangle granny square pattern. Seen the comment that people are worried about the long sides of the afghan narrowing while the corners on the short ends stick out. This is perfectly normal. Once your afghan starts getting bigger the weight of the afghan will make things even out. You dont need to do anything special to fix it. EDIT: November 2006 -- I've found several of my pictures in other sites on the internet...I dont mind people giving out the LINK to my blog, but I do mind people lifting my pictures and claiming that the items in the pictures were personally made by them. I'll be gradually putting copyright info on my pictures, altho, it's probably a little late now... Here's hoping the power doesnt go all wonky on me again (and it could...there's a heck of a wind storm going on outside) This is a crochet pattern that was taught to me by my late grandmother.

Craftsy is a wonderful online learning community with classes and FREE resources like patterns, as well as supplies for kits and crafting projects. If you follow me on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, you’ll remember me showing you a picture of the yarn goodies I received from them last week. Today I’ll be talking to you about Cascade Pinwheel Yarn and how much I loved it! I wanted this blog post to be as informative as it could be, so I asked my ELK Studio Crocheter’s Group some of the questions they would love to know about a yarn they had never used. 100% Acrylic200 grams/440 yards#4 Worsted Weight Yarn (We all know that Worsted Weight yarn can actually have a difference in thickness, and I would say the thinner end of worsted weight).Care Instructions: Machine wash gentle and dry low. Now let’s talk about some of the other things you really want to know:
Block Stitch Afghan : the way I do it !!!! .....what about two more pictures of my blanket to be???? Some of you asked me how the "dots" ( I call them "rice grains"!!!) can pop out in this way, so I thought it will be nice if I show you how this happens!!!! Happy about that??? Yes, I imagine so! Collect just few things : + hook + yarn in different colours + scissors + tapestry needle This is the chart (american crochet terminology), drawn by myself (!!!!!!) Your foundation chain will have these characteristics : chain 4, add as many as you like groups of "chain 3". Choose the colour you would love to start with and make a slip knot. Chain 20 stitches Chain 2 more (total : 22 stitches) and make a single crochet (or SC) in the 7th stitch from the hook (that is the previous stitch 16 on the foundation chain!) Now, chain 2 ... ... skip 2 stitches of the foundation chain and work 1 SC in the 3rd stitch (that is the previous 13 stitch of your foundation chain!) Again : chain 2, skip 2, SC in third stitch (previous #10!) Cut the yarn Row 1 : Row 2 :
The Story: Choosing the name for my piece, Amimono Kimono, was easy considering that I’m constantly championing for knitters and crocheters to get along and stop acting like 'the Sharks and the Jets'. Amimono in Japanese means “yarn thing” and is used interchangeably for crochet and knitting. Perfect, if you ask me, because I named my blog and podcast Yarn Thing so that I did not have to choose between crocheting and knitting. My biggest frustration as a larger woman is the lack of quality crochet projects that actually look good on me. When I designed this Amimono Kimono I had a few things in mind from the start. I chose a very simple button closure that allows for extra ease if needed or can be pulled closer for less ease. I often hear that knitters have a really hard time reading crochet patterns and find it easier to use charts with symbols. xoxox Marlaina Bird aka Marly Visit Marly's blog to see what else she's up to.

Waffle Crochet Blanket You may remember in the Wash Your Washcloths post a dish cloth featured and I said I would show you the stitch.... Here 'tis. It's my all time go to for blankets. I know the granny is an old time favourite and looks really retro at the moment and it is OK for a climate like QLD, but this waffle type construction traps warm air and provides the cosiest rug of really robust construction. Ideal for the Tasmanian conditions. The best thing is there are very few rules and I find it uses up scrap wool effectively. If you want to make a dish cloth, use pure cotton and those lovely scrubby ridges give just the grunt you need on some of the tough jobs. For rugs, use whatever you want to use up. These are great for watching TV or emergency back up in the car. Whether you make a single or a king size, it's up to you and how many chain stitches you do. Even my edge was done with scrap. The crochet terms I use are Australian/English Make a chain..... So go ahead and make a tr in the 4th stitch there.
