I am going to share about moss stitch in both crafts in this post. There will samples for youContinue reading “Moss Stitch”

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”

US Made Hooks and Needles
With the talk of tariffs be placed on various countries by the US, my desire to buy things made in the US went up.

Where to Start When Learning to Crochet, Left Handed

This is long before YouTube and having the internet readily available. I was blessed to have 3, yes 3, generations of crocheters within a blockContinue reading “Crocheted Socks?”
Blocking Day!
I recently shared a video on YouTube about a blocking day I had this past summer where I blocked three shawls at one time, on the same table and a project that I never show in the video. I’m here to follow up and share how each of those pieces turned out and where theContinue reading “Blocking Day!”
Cost of Pattern Publishing
Currently to buy one of my patterns costs the purchaser $6 US. Of that I receive about $5.50, sometimes less because of the different fees involved. Let’s say I sell 100 copies of that pattern and I received $5.25 for each copy. For a total of $525. Sounds pretty good for a four page patternContinue reading “Cost of Pattern Publishing”
Not on your first try!
That is close to a one-liner from an old 1980s movie, but that has nothing to do with what this post is about. Just a peek inside my head. I have often started a project, crochet, knit or weave, only to put it away shortly after, for different reasons; too difficult, not enough time, bored…Continue reading “Not on your first try!”
