A Scrabble Bag, Bobbins, and Two WIPs
The silver plastic tile bag that came with our game of Scrabble was falling apart at the seams, so I decided to sew us a new one. I don’t have a lot of experience sewing bags– or anything “3-D” / not blanket-flat. I’ve hemmed some cut-off jeans (hurray for cooler capri pants!), made some pillow […]
Various and Sundry
Today, I have a couple each of FOs and WIPs. First, the most boring of the bunch– another crochet mesh grocery bag. I’ve lost track of how many of these I’ve made, at this point. It might be the seventh one. The project link above has all the particulars, but suffice it to say that […]
Doily FO: “Wispweave”
The third and final doily I squeezed out of those two skeins of Alize Miss Batik (color “3713”) was not a Grace Fearon design, for a change! I crocheted “Wispweave”, a pattern by Julia Hart. This is a pattern for a small doily that works up quickly and has an appealing, floral motif. It does have […]
Doily FO: “Poppy”
Last FO post, I mentioned that I had a lot of the second skein of Alize Miss Batik left over from that doily (“Emma”). I decided to start another of Grace Fearon’s doily patterns– this time one that others have already crocheted (with great results) with that same line of thread. Here’s my “Poppy”: Again, […]
You’re Weird, Amazon…
Um, I think Amazon might be a little… confused. I was looking at bobbins– you know, those things that you use in a sewing (or quilting) machine that provides the bottom thread? They come in a few variations, but those metal spools on the left of the photo below are a typical example. Well, I […]
WIP: Scrappy Granny Squares
Writing this post title reminds me that I have yet to take photos of the last scrappy granny square afghan I crocheted. It was finished in March of this year, but I still haven’t taken photos of the completed afghan. Actually, after it got to a certain temperature, I made the decision to wait until cooler […]
Doily FO: “Emma”
Hi again! I’ve had today’s FO (and a couple others) finished for a while, but I took my time taking the photos– and then when I finally did take photos, most of them turned out too blurry to share. After taking a second round of photos (a couple weeks later, of course), I’m finally ready […]
