I made the Grannyesque Headband with random tan wool I had from my stash. The yarn was bought by my grandmother, so I’m guessing it’s Mill End yarn. There’s no label to go by, anyway.
The headband pattern is so easy, with granny shells and triangular ends. My favorite part were the ties, which are written into the border. I [...]

I crocheted this Kitchen Scrubbie with the very last strands of my Sugar ‘n Cream stash. I ran out of Hot Blue after making the body so, I had to dig around in my small scraps basket for a very short strand of Summer Splash cotton yarn. Fortunately, the variegated matched the blue body and the green color makes it looks like a flower stem.

April showers

Here in the San Juan Islands it’s been snowing in big fat drops. I found these flowers buried in partially-melted snow this morning.
All this cold weather coupled with very windy conditions make it absolutely freezing! I prefer hat and sweater weather, myself.
This picture of the first snowfall reminds me of the book cover from Snow Falling on [...]

The twenty-five rectangles I made finally made it to Donna at Crochetville! They’re for the Soften the World Simply Soft Sweepstakes Caron is holding. You can see a picture of my rectangles and the 1000+ rectangles other Crochetvillers have contributed on the 2 for 1 – Warm Up America and Crochetville! thread. I crocheted every last bit of Simply Soft in my stash, including two unused skeins in [...]

I’ve been in a crochet funk for the past couple of days. Instead of actually crocheting, I found myself going around in circles about what pattern to start and which yarn to use. So I -gasp- took a break from yarn. It’s been an interesting change of pace, but now I’m back with a fresh mind and a new dishcloth!
This is [...]

These Abominable Baby Slippers are for my cousin Lindsay’s little boy who just turned one year old. I went ahead and made the 18-24 month size so he’ll hopefully get some use out of them.
I’m pretty sure that the loops stitches are too long. The slippers look sort of mop-like. The first time I made the body [...]
