My Marinke Mandala – My Journey | V Stitch
https://vstitch.wordpress.com/2015/08/04/my-marinke-mandala-my-journey
My Marinke Mandala – My Journey. August 4, 2015. August 6, 2015. I was scrolling through Facebook and saw a post from Crochet Consupscience. We had lost another life to depression. “That could have been me”, I thought. “That might one day be me.”. I didn’t know anything about Marinke’s Blog “ A Creative Being. I can easily recall the pain; the many times my pain went unspoken; the times I lied about how I was doing when someone asked “How are you doing today? Project to raise depression awareness. I grab...

Hooked: Colorful Mandala
http://crawfordsthing.blogspot.com/2016/02/colorful-mandala.html
Sunday, February 7, 2016. About three years ago I made this knitted blanket. I knitted it straight across from start to finish, carrying all the colors across the row and twisting strands when I changed colors. At some point I estimated how much yarn I would need for each color patch, and I cut all the lengths of yarn that I needed to finish. I ended up with this basket of yarn ends, which decorated the short wall between the kitchen and living room. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I make quilts too!

Hooked: May Mandala
http://crawfordsthing.blogspot.com/2016/05/may-mandala.html
Monday, May 16, 2016. This month my Mandalas for Marinke were featured on crochetconcupscence.com. Immediately I wanted to make another one. So here it is! The variegated yarn is Nicole Stitch Studio from A.C. Moore. These are one-off yarns in a sale bin, and I always look them over when I'm getting my other yarn. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Hooked: March 2016
http://crawfordsthing.blogspot.com/2016_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 21, 2016. These are only a few of the WIPs that I have going on now. There are quilts in progress, knitting in progress, charity blankets, CALs, presents, etc. It is just insane, and one reason I'm not posting here more often. This is one of the CALs. (The other one hasn't started yet.). Finally here is a sweater I'm making for my big kid Carter. I had given them a sweater of mine that they loved, but they had to give it back because they grew out of it. This kid of mine (21 years o...

Hooked: October 2015
http://crawfordsthing.blogspot.com/2015_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 26, 2015. Circle of Friends Squares. Well I'm hooked again. I can't crochet these circle squares fast enough. I wanted to make something large using a square motif, so I browsed Google images with the keywords "square crochet motif." I came across some beautiful blankets that used a motif very much like the ones in the picture. What I saw was from a free pattern. By Rachele at babylovebrands.net. It's based on another free pattern, the Circle of Friends Square. Monday, October 19, 2015.

Hooked: How I join double crochet loops
http://crawfordsthing.blogspot.com/2015/09/how-i-join-double-crochet-loops.html
Monday, September 7, 2015. How I join double crochet loops. I have no idea if this is useful or not, but I figured it out for myself and I like the results. Please leave a comment if you can think of a way to improve the instructions. There is no PDF and no left-handed instructions (yet). 1 Don't start with any stitch. Start with the yarn only, leaving about a six inch length at the beginning. 2 ch 3. The first ch is a bit loose, which is OK. 9 Turn the work over and pull the tail gently. Do not over...
