Crocheted Socks Try #1

I shared a while back that I was going to try crocheted socks and which pattern I’m using. I chose some scraps of sock yarn that I have and got to work. The first attempt didn’t fit very well. It was too snug around my foot. I had chosen the largest size in the patternContinue reading “Crocheted Socks Try #1”

Even After All That, Sometimes Swatches Lie…

I got my sweater edit back from the grader, but I’ll talk about that in a bit. Before I opened that file I used an old trick I have to see how well the clothes I’m making are going to for the size I’m making them for. I took my partially finished sweater to theContinue reading “Even After All That, Sometimes Swatches Lie…”
