I got a book of prayer shawls called “Knit prayer Shawls, 15 wraps to share” shortly after I graduated from college in 2017. I have slowly been working my way through it making different patterns and I decided to make the prayer shawl “Sunny Days Ahead” last year. Despite getting the yarn for it I […]

Cute and Casual Cables
Perhaps a little counter intuitively, at the start of the new year I’m looking way back into my past to talk about something I did back in High school. Most of the memories of those days are getting fuzzier the more I move away from them – except for those really awkward memories we all […]
Granny Square Aware
I have a bit of a love hate relationship with granny squares. On the one hand, they’re super fun to do. They come in all shapes and sizes (not just squares), numerous patterns and you can make them just about any color you want. The stitches can be simple with the traditional granny square, or […]
Happy Haro Says Hello!
This is a quick post since we’re right before the last big holiday of the year and I’m sure everyone is busy getting ready for new years eve celebrations. I’ve finished the large Haro! After getting ¾ of the way done with it I though “maybe I should have tried for a different color”, but […]
Baby Blanket: Forest Moss
So, I’m working on a new baby blanket and I’ve decided that rather than making every post numerical (baby blanket 3, baby blanket 4 etc) I’ll just start giving the baby blanket nicknames. I usually end up doing that anyway, so why not carry those nicknames over to the posts? I’ve nicknamed this one Forest […]
A Self-Made Pillow Problem
Have you ever made a project that looked really cool, but even when you started it you already knew you didn’t need it? I’m currently working on a zig zag crochet cover for a pillow. I had excess green yarn in two shades and I decided, why not? The pattern looks cool and even though […]
Mid-Month Middle Earth 3
I have finished the border on the cross stitch. Sort of. I have had that starting line sitting in my drafts for the last few weeks, mostly so that I would have to have the border finished by this next update. It has been one of the driving factors that has had me spending hours […]
Hello, Haro!
A couple of months ago I found an amigurumi pattern for a robot named “HARO”. They’re a mascot character for the TV series Mobile Suit Gundam. I had some free time on my hand, some yarn that I needed to use up and some leftover stuffing so I decided to give the pattern a shot. […]
a Growing Amigurumi Army
I think that anyone who’s done crochet for any amount of time has heard about amigurumi, the Japanese art of creating cute little stuffed animals out of knitting or crochet. there’s something a little addictive about it, just sitting down and in an hour or two you’ve got a cute little stuffed animal or toy. […]
DIY Decorations and Steam Blocking
Good evening! I meant to get this posted this morning, but things don’t always go the way we plan. I hope this post is worth the wait! One thing I like about crochet is that if you’re doing a small project it can go by pretty fast. I’m currently working on a whole mess of […]
