Denim “Squishy”
Made another lapel squishy” but this time I changed from the single safety pin back to two butterfly pin backs. This gives it more opportunity to be twisted. I like ease of putting on than the safety pin back. You can see the pictures of the backs of the previous one. Read more

Novelty yarn necklace
I have a few tops that have these colors in them and decided to make one for them. Using novelty yarn can be a challenge if you use just it, so, I used a carrier yarn (black #3 thread) to help the novelty from tangling too badly as I crocheted. I used a side closure… Read more

Have you tried a smaller hook size?
I have been crocheting and observing crochet for a good part of 50 years now. I conclude that the requirement of “stitch to twist” is very much of an importance to crochet. As an experimental crocheter (never wanted to follow a pattern) for its entirety. I have made sewing thread crochet to felted crochet. The… Read more

Which color will I use?
I’m starting a new necklace and here might be the colors I will use. I will be using the novelty yarn but can’t decide the thread colors. As I look at the threads, the blue give off a summer vibe. The orange that is brighter seems to be generic as it will go summer into… Read more

Finished a new necklace
I wanted to try this for a while to see if it works. I would say it did. As with the other ones the piece is slightly moldable so it will set nicely around your neck. If you round it off more it will sit a little higher to accommodate a different neckline. This is… Read more

Sneak peak at a new necklace
I started this one a while back but one I got to a certain place with it I just got lost. Today during my PP thread haul I saw a thread that I felt would add the pizzazz I was looking for. I still need the neck side pieces for it so still working that… Read more

I could just stare at this
I’m working up a new necklace and the yarn I’m using, I could just stare at it for hours. Each new row of SC makes me want to not go any further but then I also want to go farther. I considered adding a black tread to this but I actually don’t want to interrupt… Read more

Crochet tools in my toolbox Oh My!
As you will probably be able to tell from my tool box of crochet tools I have been around the crochet block for a while. Crazy I know! I think my start of my crochet no pattern journey came because I am left handed and I crochet tightly so the different hooks size helps me get… Read more

Woolly framed
I have begun to purchase frames to put my woolly’s in. Here is one I framed out yesterday. The good thing about framing them is that they are focalized. Behind the glass they look more like a specimen. Read more

I sometimes can’t decide
Some times when I work with fibers and crochet stitches I can’t decide if: I start working with the yarn and pick a stitch to use then watch the pattern develop then decide to use a different stitch or stitches to create a different stitch. Then have trouble deciding if I want to use that… Read more
