Engineered Crochet: Charcoal Blanket

http://engineeredcrochet.blogspot.com/2014/03/charcoal-blanket.html

Wednesday, March 12, 2014. I like to give blankets as wedding presents, so it would make sense that my friend since kindergarten, who happens to be married, would have a blanket from me. Well, she didn't because she got married over 8 years ago, when I didn't know how to crochet. So I decided to give her one for Christmas this year. I don't know what she was thought about my weird text of 'What's your favorite color? But she responded 'Gray'. When I saw that, I went hmmmmmm. What to do with that? I welco...

Engineered Crochet: Sunshine Blanket

http://engineeredcrochet.blogspot.com/2013/03/sunshine-blanket.html

Tuesday, March 26, 2013. When I planned this blanket, I forgot one very important detail: stitch 2. Doesn't expand like most stitches. Consequently, I didn't chain enough at the beginning to make it an acceptable width. To fix this, I simply made the border extra wide. Despite this foible, I am happy with the result. Here's what I did:. Chain 167, then work stitch 2. Until work reaches desired length. Add this border:. Round 1: sc around, 3 sc in each corner. Round 2: dc around, 5 dc in each corner.

http://engineeredcrochet.blogspot.com/2012/03/in-home-stretch-stitch-twenty-five.html

Wednesday, March 28, 2012. In the home stretch: Stitch Twenty-Five. I have finally reached the point of being sick of making baby blankets: it only took twenty-five! The color pattern I used was (2 rows of maroon, 1 row of white) repeated, ending with 2 rows of maroon and a maroon border. Here's how to make it:. Ch 91 then work stitch until work is square and add a border:. Round 1: sc around, 3 sc in each corner. Round 2: dc around, 5 dc in each corner. Round 3: sc around, 3 sc in each corner. Moving on...

Engineered Crochet: Another Aggie Afghan

http://engineeredcrochet.blogspot.com/2014/06/another-aggie-afghan.html

Tuesday, June 17, 2014. When I bugged my buddy about what colors he and his fiance liked, he wasn't very helpful. All I got was essentially, well, we're Aggies, so maroon and white are good. I say that isn't very helpful because all. Of my buddies, the people I actually make blankets for, are Aggies. I don't want to make 14 maroon and white afghans. That gets boring and challenging to make something unique. But this was the first request for maroon and white, so I went with it. Here's how I made it:.

Engineered Crochet: 12th Man Blanket

http://engineeredcrochet.blogspot.com/2012/12/12th-man-blanket.html

Wednesday, December 12, 2012. Today is the last time this century that the date is repetitive. 12-12-12 has special meaning to Aggies because of the 12th Man. At 12:12 central time, the War Hymn was broadcast on the radio and played everywhere. University of New Mexico game: September 5, 2009. In case you don't already know the history of the 12th Man here it goes:. 1 row white, (2 rows maroon, 2 rows of white) repeated, ending with 1 row of white. The border is all maroon. Chain 184, then work stitch 4.

Engineered Crochet: Spaced Shell Stitch

http://engineeredcrochet.blogspot.com/2012/06/spaced-shell-stitch.html

Monday, June 25, 2012. There are many variations of the shell stitch, here is one of them: essentially, you work a row of the simple shell stitch. And then you do a row of scaffolding to even out the height of the stitches. Then you do a row of the simple shell stitch. Again, but this time shifted over half a repeat. Hopefully that made some sense. Put another way, you work the simple shell stitch, but with scaffolding in between, spacing the shells. Ch multiple of 6 5. Row 1: sc in 2. Almost everything ...

Engineered Crochet: Blue Stripes Blanket

http://engineeredcrochet.blogspot.com/2014/02/blue-stripes-blanket.html

Tuesday, February 25, 2014. Living far from family has its challenges, so I'm grateful to the people in my church who have helped me out and included me in their family events. I decided to surprise three of these families with an afghan for Christmas. For this blanket, I knew that I wanted to use navy because I knew that would go with their decor, but I had some trouble picking a second color. I finally settled on using a lighter shade of blue. When I went through the first book. Love In The Stitches.
